Stryper - Fallen


Stefan

Recommended Posts

I quite enjoyed Kings of Kings,killer riff, probably my fave one-minus the lyrics. I don't think I'll keep any other for my ultimate list.

 

Btw, All Over again had a strong potential to be the first Stryper ballad I enjoy, but again I hate those silly back voices.

 

 

Easily the cover is the worst song there.

 

 

Btw, it would be great if Stryper repayed the favor and covered some Guardian track instead. :tumbsup:

Yeah, 'Love you like I do' and 'All over again' are very good. I do really love this band, musically. They always sound so ballsy. Just wish they'd dropped the whole christian garbage... and imagine how great they could have been! One of the true greats, perhaps?

I haven't had time to go pick up the new CD yet but I have given it a number of spins on Spotify and I gotta say it womps some booty... I may possibly like it even better than No More Hell to Pay, and I am still lovin' that album....it still finds its way into my player frequently

 

 

Rather poor version of "After Forever" I'll take the Black Sabbath version anyday.....I'll most likely pick it up anyway as the other songs are decent....

 

Yeah, that cover is the lone clunker on the CD IMO. "After Forever" happens to be my favorite Black Sabbath song so I'm a pretty harsh judge when it comes to covers of it....

 

I'm sure they thought they were being clever when they were recording that song, like "Lookit us, a Christian band covering Black Sabbath! Woooo, aren't we being all ironic 'n stuff?"

 

...I guess nobody told them that the Christian thrash band Deliverance covered that same song (and did it better) on their "What a Joke" album in 1991!

But Keith, they already did an ironic Sabbath cover... "Heaven and Hell" from 2011's The Covering.... best song on the disc too. :P

Yeah, the extra 5-10% fandom factor.

 

 

What happened with objectivity? :tumbsup:

 

 

For example, I had every reason to be mad at Degreed because they never sent me their cd, for which I paid, yet it's still in my top 5.

    • Released back in 2019 on vinyl only in most of the world, the only place it could be purchased on CD was Japan. It is finally available on CD to the rest of the world with the addition of two bonus tracks. One is the usual "bonus" track of a live recording of Go man go, and the other is the song Don't give up which was released at the start of the pandemic as a single. https://townsendmusic.store/product/140275?lf=035f179d9c80928d2d3b155fa72b0731 Follow the breadcrumbs to a sonic treasure trove with Alice Cooper's "Breadcrumbs" EP, which will be available on CD for the first time ever, featuring additional bonus tracks on this edition! Originally released in 2019 as a limited-edition 10" vinyl record, "Breadcrumbs" is a tribute to the garage rock heroes of Alice Cooper's hometown of Detroit. The EP features six tracks that showcase Cooper's raw and energetic take on classic Detroit tunes, including Suzi Quatro's "Your Mama Won't Like Me", Bob Seger's "East Side Story", and the MC5's "Sister Anne". It also includes the two additional bonus tracks "Don’t Give Up", conveying Cooper’s message of hope and perseverance to his fans during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a live version of "Go Man Go" from his electrifying set at Hellfest 2022. The album featured a star-studded lineup of Detroit musicians, including Wayne Kramer of the MC5, Johnny "Bee" Badanjek of the Detroit Wheels, and Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad. "Breadcrumbs" marked the beginning of Alice Cooper's homecoming, a journey that culminated in the critically acclaimed studio album "Detroit Stories", released in 2020. This EP served as a taste of Cooper's profound affection for his hometown's rich musical heritage, making it an essential addition for any devoted fan of the shock rock icon.   1. Detroit City 2020 2. Go Man Go 3. East Side Story 4. Your Mama Won't Like Me 5. Devil With A Blue Dress On / Chains Of Love 6. Sister Anne 7. Don't Give Up (Bonus Track) 8.

    • New song "Summerlovin" feat. Olli Herman, me likey...  
    • Pretty awesome! I often fantasize about starting an AOR, but I know nothing about making music.
    • Not gonna lie, I kind of like it. Hardly classic Crue, more like something that would have appeared on the Corabi-fronted self-titled album, but it's not bad for an oldschool band trying a modern hard rock song. That being said, I expect my opinion to be a lonely one, and I understand why fans are dogging on it...
    • Hi everybody, my band (Ricky Shindig) just released a cover version of Journey's Separate Ways. Before we were Ricky Shindig, three of us were in a cover band together. As a little "turn back time" we decided to record a cover song while we slowly start working on some new material.  We chose 'Separate Ways' because this song is an essential part of every Ricky Shindig party and one of the catchiest songs ever written. We are looking forward to hearing any kind of feedback   
    • Posted the first few videos when they dropped but realised I had not posted about the album, which is probably as I can't afford it. Not only is the CD $20 ($30 signed), but the postage to the UK is $46.25, which is by far the most anyone from the USA has tried to charge. Their answer when I questioned this was "We don't control the postal system". Now I know US prices are high on postage, but not this high. $30 seems to be the norm these days, but I have had two CD orders from the USA that have cost $9 and $5 (not sure how but I aint complaining). Anyway, the album is already out  
    • Do they really hate the ex-singer so they want to erase him from the previously released albums? They started this process on Diamonds.
    • "Maybe Tomorrow" by Zaza  
    • The whole album is excellent, really crisp, sharp production.
