New album out. It's pretty solid imo. For fans of SOTY

And Steve Maggioria has already bailed.

Par for the course with Trev's bands.  I imagine these guys will be done before the years out and it'll be everyone else's fault just like TREV, ZFG, The Biotin Babies, What So Not, Cash Vertigo, Levara, and all the other bands Nepo Boy-Wonder has promoted on the strength of his Dad's name.

(I'll let him off the bands that he was doing with Benjamin Presley Keogh and Andrew Hagar, he didn't cause those demises).

It's a shame, as he's actually a great guitarist and songwriter, he just an insufferable tool and perpetual victim.  Wonder where he get's that from...

you must be fun at parties 🙄

shame they decided to do this, as a cover seems to detracting from the momentum they gained with their first 3 excellent singles.

Nice look forward to hearing it 

v nice 

is he purposefully trying to look like JBJ as well lol 

very nice. 

Good news on new album. back catalogue does not need reworking imo. 

I love the new Seven year witch album 👍

sounds like every other kivel release 🤷

Very cool. This new band cancels out the disappointment I felt when Levara split. 

Can't wait for the album.

most of what will be released in the first half of the year has been announced, so hopefully the second half of the year will yield some unexpected gold.  I can't imagine you think the new Bon Jovi album in June is gonna save the year for anybody. 

no, but I've already told you what's on my radar so I will end up with a great top 10 like every other year.

And like every other year for the last 10 years the quality will drop off a cliff outside of the top 15-20 releases 🤷

I listen to music 30-35 hours a week and still don't have enough time; so yea there is a lot to listen to, but will my nearly 40 year streak of having a top 10 come to and end? Probably will be able to come with 10 releases by years end but it's looking like the weakest year to date.  2025 is already shaping up to be loaded though.

it's March ffs 

not for me. Loved the Art of Illusion

As Dan says above, matching their last album is going to be a hell of a task, as it was a brilliant album and one of the best of that year by far. This is a good start though...reallly looking forward to hearing it all

agreed 👍 

Don't get all these posts, god forbid you go 2 months without a release. Most people on the site have about 3000 cds, I'm sure you can find something to listen to 😉

bonus tracks are excellent

You never explained that moment in time travel. Or did they play it live when you saw them? Or they're your neighbours and you overheard them in the garage? 

ha ha.It was song of the week feature on a BBC podcast.

Predicting that a LeBrock song will be good is kind of like predicting that intimate intercourse with this would probably feel pretty nice

wasn't predicting, I'd heard it. imo prob their best song 

told you 😊

A very solid list, but I don't think I class any of those bands as AOR.

IMO, of course.

how is Work of Art not AOR?

It's the very definition of AOR 

Also the best album in the list

"a shadow of themselves" is not preferring one over another singer, it is stating that the band is nothing like itself even though the band was around before your favourite singer was even in the band. That is why it is a ridiculous comment. Shouldn't be hard even for you to understand, Tobi.

Well mate here's the deal

Firstly I saw them on their first ever tour with Kenny. Yep was great.

Then I saw them about 10 times with Erik. Each and every time they were utterly fantastic. Erik is a beast live and one of the best singers I've seen period.

Then he leaves and they get Kenny back 10 years on and way past his best imo and quite frankly pretty poor compared to what Erik bought. 

For me, no matter how well they play its just not the same without Erik. 

If youve never seen the band with Erik you probably wont understand.

So yeah I stand by my comment. 

I'll probably never see them live again tbh

sounds a bit too familiar, but I still like it. 

Obviously
