This is more melodic than their previous stuff. All the last 5 albums are great though - so hard to say what is better when all hover around 90%. Just glad they are so consistently good.
Is this one 80s hair metal-sounding? I Had 'Beg For It' and found it either too punkish or modern-sounding for my tastes (can't remember which; it was a while ago).
If the last one was too modern for you odds are this one will be too. Personally, I don't hear it, but to each their own. The choruses are bigger and catchier on this disc, but they're true to the sound of their last bunch of discs, so if you didn't like 'em before, skip it. And miss out.
modern? WTF. I've heard it all now.
Yeah, if it wasn't James I'd be angry, but I like James so I'll stay civil. I don't hear an ounce of "modern" in it either, but more to the point, so what if I did? Is good not good and bad not bad? Why can't it just be that simple? Don't get me started...
personally I cant understand why anyone wouldnt love this band.....every release since s/t has been packed full of awesome sleazy bordering on melodic hard rock imo.
Immense band.
Modern? I'd rather say heavy, James.
And Glen is right, my main problem is that this one is more melodic than the others. But it's great, that's not a question.
