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.

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.

      No Resolve - Bye Bye Bye (rock cover)

      By Geoff · Posted

      Really good band, but haven't heard from them in an absolute age. Shame if all they're doing is a few covers.  The 'Bye bye bye' cover is killer.  'I want it that way' is a great song anyway, but their version is gold. Love that.  But just to prove you can't polish a dog turd, no one could make 'Thriller' sound listenable to me.  Amplified even more with 'Believer.' No Imagine Dragons song should ever be covered or allowed to be acknowledged that it was even actually recorded. Horrendous band and I hate the cover only a tiny bit less than the original, which is a tonne.

      Kickin' riff. This is a cool tune indeed. New album sounding promising.

      Richie Sambora - I Pray (new song)

      Doesn't do much for me. Not sure it's any better than what I've heard from the new BJ album... but I guess it's not too bad. Wouldn't play it again, though.

      Motley Crue new single Dogs of war due 26th April

      By Geoff · Posted

      Bit 50/50 on it, myself. I prefer the stuff on Mick's solo album, but it's not a bad song. That kind of solo in a Motley song definitely sticks out... but not in a bad way. It's cool. I dig.

      7Th Heaven new box set

      By Geoff · Posted

      Did they actually break up? They were releasing albums annually and finally fixed up the production end but haven't heard from them for a while now. Always loved everything they released, personally.  Edit - yeah, 'Be Here' from 2020 seems to be the last album. Allegedly still active, but obviously no recent albums. Would love to hear them add to the discography.

      Alice Cooper - Breadcrumbs EP finally gets an international CD release with bonus tracks.

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      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. Go Man Go (Live At Hellfest 2022) (Bonus Track)

      Motley Crue new single Dogs of war due 26th April

      By metalmaniac777 · Posted

      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...
