Mastedon? Now this is one i dont get. Love this guy as a producer HEAPS, but this album bored the hell out of me from the samples. Shouldve been a solo album, as i cant see what it has to do with the Mastedon rocking sound?

 

Backed. Wish I'd listened to the soundbytes before picking it up. Is very retro-sounding, and is one of those albums that people either loved or hated. Like the overrated HOUSE OF LORDS album....

 

Is nice to see quality stuff like DELAIN, WINGER, PAPA ROACH, DANGER DANGER appearing, but I'm not sure why BLANC FACES ended up in one of the Top 5 lists? That thing's drearier than a Michael Bolton Christmas album...

Always interesting to check out 'the best of'.....just to see if I missed anything over the year.....I'll have to look into Delain although goth isn't really one of my fav genres and Coldspell will have to be re-examined as I had dismissed it after hearing the samples originally....

I'm surprised to see no love for Place Vendome or Steel Panther and only Pete having Danger Danger in his top 5. I do agree with the praise for the Poodles, a great release, just missing out on my top 5, probably 6th for me.

 

My top 5 picks for 2009 were the latest releases by

 

1) Danger Danger

2) W.E.T.

3) Place Vendome

4) Paradise Lost (doesn't belong on HH, but I love the band)

5) Steel Panther

That Pete guy is a genius, I swear we think EXACTLY alike! :woot:

 

You liiiiaaaarrrrr!!!!

 

Your profil states High Gear from some band called Farcry is your fav, yet they did not even place in your top 5.

 

This guy can't be trusted.

 

BTW, that so-called Farcry release did make my top 15 for 2009, a great release and hoping to find some more Farcry on top future fav lists .

:lol: I had forgotten about those FarCry guys... ;)

 

I think the new album's going to be even better, and more cohesive, I'm officially psyched!

 

Notice High Gear didn't make my top 5 either... :D

Not heard all of these, but for my tastes, the Poodles CD was poor, massively overrated and the Danger Danger CD was a huge disappointment. Opinions are bound to differ of course, but for what it's worth, only the Coldspell album of these really appealed to me, it has a few great songs. I like the samples I've heard from the House of Lords CD though. Just had a listen to a few Koritni tracks and found them really boring.

Nice to see the Mastedon getting the attention it thoroughly deserves aswell as the monster Delain disc. Chickenfoot was quite popular aswell, which is good to see. Some nice picks all round guys. :tumbsup:

Nice to see someone sticking up for the Hardline....but then again it gets a good kicking too off Ty :lol: I really like the album I must say.

 

Ya know a while back Jez had the Mastedon sleeve as his avatar and for ages I was thinking it was a picture of a plucked oven ready chicken, I was wondering what it was about for a few weeks until I finally saw the cover.

Really screw up your eyes and look at the cover .... or resize it to 70 x 70.....I ... I'm not crazy am I??????

As with most years... None of my top 5 are in anyone of the lists. A couple of mine did make the "Also-Ran" lists. I believe one even made someone's "honorable mention" list.

 

There were actually quite a few good releases in 2009.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that (though I know Pete noted PV and Dan did SP) but I'm very surprised to see them pop up in no top 5.

 

Some cool choices there and always a good read. Nice to see Papa Roach noted (one of the most consistent plays of the year) as well as Mike throwing Grand Design into the mix. Nice.

 

I also wasn't very into the Hardline CD, but it must be said that it does have staying power and is a constant grower. Not one of my faves of the year but a good CD.

 

And Tim, I have to disagree about Blanc Faces. It isn't amazing and ground breaking, but goddamn is it is a great, solid as hell CD.

 

As for Mastedon... well, I said it in the thread. To each their own because I have nothing good to say about that CD at all. :(

Meanwhile, an hour later and a 12 pack later, the bird is nothing more than charred ashes on the grill and KING is passed out on a lawnchair....

There are two major problems with this disc:

 

1. It is pretty damn hard to get hold off for a decent price.

2. I have a feeling that most the people who would really love it are under a completely false impression that it is some kind of modern rock CD... when in fact it is a pure hard rock delight.

Other than that don't ask me what there doing they did a little video of them signing contract and it doesn't include John 5 so he's not really part of Motley he's a hired gun..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3iDklwv1PI&t=2s

      Not much information on the video's page, other than it appears to be an AI creation. Once it gets into the verse and especially the chorus, it's actually not too bad IMO.

      While I appreciate your interest in contributing to the site, most of the artists and albums you are submitting are either REALLLLLLY stretching the boundaries, or as in the case of this band, completely off the mark. No alternagrunge. No punk. No death metal/power metal (although those can be submitted to Brutal Metal). You can always start a thread asking about a particular artist before blindly submitting it for inclusion. Thanks! -Dan

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      DEEP PURPLE Announces New Album '=1' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET DEEP PURPLE, one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time, will release a new album, "=1", on July 19 via earMUSIC. The first single will be unveiled on April 30 at midnight, a taster for the full 13 tracks of pioneering and rip-roaring rock and roll. "=1" is the band's first album with sensational guitarist Simon McBride, who seamlessly slotted in when longtime member Steve Morse left due to personal circumstances. Since 2022, Simon has already played to DEEP PURPLE audiences totalling more than half a million people. ith three consecutive No. 1 albums in their back pocket and a resurgent new energy powering them forward, this is DEEP PURPLE at their pinnacle. "Now WHAT?!" (2013),"inFinite" (2017) and "Whoosh!" (2020) have sold over one million copies worldwide, making DEEP PURPLE one of the most successful rock bands currently active. The latest studio album, "Whoosh!", reached No. 1 on the album charts in seven countries and charted in the top 10 in another 12. "=1" track listing: 01. Show Me 02. A Bit On The Side 03. Sharp Shooter 04. Portable Door 05. Old-Fangled Thing 06. If I Were You 07. Pictures Of You 08. I'm Saying Nothin' 09. Lazy Sod 10. Now You're Talkin' 11. No Money To Burn 12. I'll Catch You 13. Bleeding Obvious In 2022 came the sad news of Steve Morse's departure due to personal circumstances, but DEEP PURPLE, never a band to let a set back throw them off course, sought out the masterful skills of guitarist Simon McBride and played the year out in style, exciting crowds with a new energy and excitement. Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that DEEP PURPLE are very much here to stay.
