heard the full Album and it sounds Fantastic. may just be the best out of the Four.

 

This is gonna have to be one seriously great album if it is to beat the debut, which was absolutely fantastic.

that's perfectly fine. I'm not trying to make anyone like it. my opinion is of ONE as each person's is.

No, I know. I'm just trying not to get my hopes up.

I think once everyone hears the full Album , they will be more than Happy with a new Writer. :)

Perhaps you're correct. Most of us feel each release was weaker than it's predecessor. Maybe they needed fresh blood.

The first 6 tracks are fantastic, you can hear the influence of a new writer. Tracks 7 and 8 are fillers, especially the title track...painfully boring. The final two tracks get back at it and close out the album wonderfully.

 

Not as good as the first, but comparable to the last two. I'll keep buying Allen/Lande products without hesitation if they keep releasing solid albums like this one.

 

I'll be able to make one Hell of a great mixed disc for my car of tracks from all 4 releases.

This album is actually surprisingly good, moreso in some places than others. But I love the really melodic opener in 'Come dream with me,' 'Lady of winter' is a monster track, and I also really dig 'Reaching for the stars.' There are a couple of dips in quality, but they're not too deep, and overall it's a good solid release... very close to that 80% mark.

    • 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")
