Tago Mago. I have few opinions about the rest of this week's crop. I'll put this second - I've never really gotten into Can until playing Future Days for this project a few months back, so I should relisten to some of their earlier stuff sometime.
Raw Power. I'm sure I've heard this at least once, but I get confused with the different versions, and I also once taped Search & Destroy: The Detroit Studio Outtakes from the library, which has a lot of the same songs. Anyway, it's probably pretty good.
Moment Of Truth. I played a couple tracks of this and they sounded good - may play the rest some time.
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss. I played a few minutes of this and liked it, even once the vocals came in.
Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory. I liked the last Dream Theater album you posted more than I expected, and the first couple tracks from this are okay.
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. I like some tracks on this (okay, mostly "Heavy Metal Drummer") but it's never really worked for me - it feels like an awkward transition period between their early shitty wishy-washy stuff and the spare, focused sound of their one I like, A Ghost Is Born.
Tender Prey. Not a fan of his, but he has the occasional song I like and his theatricality at least makes his stuff somewhat interesting.
Night And Day. "Steppin' Out" is okay but needs a bridge, and I played a minute of the first song and it annoyed me.
Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. I don't like them much generally and I don't like "She Don't Use Jelly", the only song I know from this.
