Bands you wish would make one more album

[Gotthardline]

Anyone have one particular band that either split up or simply went quiet that you wish would return for one or more albums

 

Mine right now would have to be 'Monty are I ' I have been listening to the two alums they put out a lot recently and they really are just excellent albums and a band that had a really unique but at the same time accessible sound

A few more for me off the top of my head would be Anberlin , The Magnificent and National Product

 

Would like to hear other peoples examples

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Did you like Anberlin all the way to the end? I did, but to varying degrees towards the real end, and to be honest I kind of thought they were at the end of the line when they finished up.

Blind Date

 

Agreed!! I'd agree with Monty Are I too.

 

But my most of all, top of the world list would read like this;

 

Cauterize

Silly Fools

SR-71

Waltham or USA!USA!USA! (I'd take either)

Blessed By A Broken Heart

Poison (with CC and a big label production job)

Fallbrooke

Faber Drive

A Change Of Pace (with Tory Jasper back on lead vocals)

Just Surrender

The Sunstreak

Frontline

The Latency

No Love Lost or Star City Meltdown

I didnt like their last album , way too mellow for me but i loved vital and i do feel like they probably had at least one more great album in them

Yeah, I'd have loved one more great album from them, but I'm actually of the opinion they just didn't have it in them anymore. I liked all their work, but it'd be hard to argue that that they never got even close to 'Never take friendship personal' and each album afterwards was almost a small step in their decline. The mellower they got, the less interesting the albums got.

 

In all honesty, I actually truly believe Anberlin will be back one day. I just hope they come back as an uptempo modern rock band and not the vintage lounge music they went out on. Their first two albums are killer, and they had some amazing songs sprinkled throughout the rest of their career too. Great band.

This is more of a wishlist of releases

 

Waltham

The Magnificent

Loud & Clear

Savatage with Zac Stevens on vox

Saigon Kick

[Glen]

On a side note, ones which I would have mentioned but are actually in 2017/18!

 

Work of Art

WET

Story of the Year

Boulevard

Toby Hitchcock (solo)

HEAT

Kane Roberts

 

 

Super excited for all of these

[Geoff]

Toby Hitchcock (solo)

 

 

You still fascinate me with this one. You know he is only as good as his song writer, don't you? You know Martensson made his debut album great... don't you? He was just a pawn in a project that he had absolutely no musical input in, whatsoever. Sorry to be blunt mate, but he got extremely lucky... I'm just not sure he is the amazing talent you seem to think he is.

 

I hope the new album is good too, but if Martensson is not on board, odds are it'll be crap.

 

As far as I understand it, Hitchcock's input in that debut album was a voice. Other than that, I am pretty sure 100% of the album's other greatness was on the shoulders of other folk.

Well its most likely to be the staple Frontiers writers - combined with his vocals it should be great.

Have faith man.

I'm sure Frontiers will be looking for the songs to be in the same hard rocking vein as Mercurys Down

At the end of the day, if its shite its shite......can only hope tho.

I am actually of the opinion that new surrender is their best with NTFP coming a close second but i do agree that none of theor others came close to them two , except maybe vital

I really do hope they reform one day and like you said hopefully up tempo stuff,you really could make an amazing top 25 song compilation from their work

Yeah, definitely. Their top 25 songs would be absolutely excellent. Actually, of every single band I listen to, I was going to make a big compilation of Anberlin to bring up to my brothers' place when we next meet as we always struggle like hell to find some music to put on that at least one of us won't hate. I feel like Anberlin is the type of band that can soothe everyone. One of my brothers already actually kinds digs them. I'd thought of Anberlin and also Monty Are I, funnily enough. Certain crowd pleasers.
