Best of 2014 thus far?

[Glen]

Well I think it was you anyway lol?? Ive deleted everything now.

 

In any case its not released yet in the UK or the US if that answers your question Dan. Its worth getting tho.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

 

Where are you guys hearing Night by Night? Their website says the album isn't out until July.

Yeah, I was wondering the same.

 

 

There is a promo copy floating around the internets.

Confess and the dirty skirty cds are killer and are fighting for the #1 slot. Winger, Red Dragon Cartel and House of Lords round out the Top 5.

Nowhere near mine. Fairly solid but far from their best imo.

I've tried a few things on your list....Haven't really found much that has interested me in 2014 outside of H.e.a.t's Tearing Down the Walls album.....

 

I think my main problem is that I'm so into that album that everything else is sounding inferior to me. That album just aligns perfectly with my tastes these days.

 

I'll probably give some of these other things more of a fighting chance as the year moves on.

[AlphaMale]

I am currently re-grading my list. I want to see if any of my ratings have changed and by how much.

 

To be continued....

Everybody got different taste but good thing is if you still want to try new albums.

Why don't you put your own top 20 or top 30 list and it's always interesting to see people's opinion on particular albums

Judas Priest rated very highly there bro, it's a good album, better than 3-4 last albums but I found myself still struggling at least 4-5 tracks. I still came far behind with it, around 76%, but might climb to 80%

 

What genre is Devil's Run ? heavy metal ?

Devil's Run used to be called TAKING DAWN. They are modern melodic hard rock.

I believe there are 6 new songs and 5 re-recordings off of Taking Dawn's "Time To Burn".

[Geoff]

Wow, thanks for the Devil's Run tip. I didn't know about them. Nice.

 

Anyway, it's the halfway mark of the year and I'm basically up to date. Gotta say, if I'm being honest, it's a solid, but pretty uninspiring list outside of the top 10. Hoping for an influx of quality in the 2nd half of 2014.
