Sounds pretty good. Out of curiosity, is this just a normal non-christian disc? Based on the quick listen I gave those tunes, couldn't hear any Jesus licking.

Wow, that sounds great! I've never heard any of his solo work.

 

You haven't? You should....

 

 

Never been much of a Stryper fan, so I never bothered.

You have to get the first solo album.

Michael Sweet's debut solo album is a classic in my opinion. With Greg Fulkerson co-writing and producing, it was always going to sound huge, and boy does it ever. Ask me to list my favorite Christian rock songs and "All This and Heaven Too" will be on it everytime.

I dug this out for the first time in ages the other day Mark... got wacked again by how good this is. Two of my favourite musicians. Brilliant album. Thats how melodic rock is played.

This album is soooooo good!!! Perfect mix of Stryper and his Solo stuff......just so damn good. He is at the top of his game songwriting the last few years, and his voice is just.....STELLAR!! Buy this! It should be in a lot of Top 10's this year, I would think.

Decent album, and I'm glad he avoided the christian angle and just made a proper album. ;)

 

It's sitting around that 70% mark for me this year, along with all the other okay but not amazing discs. And that's what it is. Solid, but nothing great, imo.

Agree 100%

    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
