And that's a fact! Never been big on Hinder and the like before but this is just pure melodic bliss, you would almost throw it in the regular threads because it simply fits the description of this forum right? So I hear ya Geoff, as in matter a fact I think we're on the very verge of the big Melodic Rock return happening. Meaning it's about to hit big again all over the world, no longer underground but mainstream with all its chart glory returning from the past. With bands like Hinder and Nickelback going down like this, new bands forming and the current big GNR/Metallica/AC/DC happening it's gonna resurrect. Even Pop artists seem to finally pick up the Rock sound again. About time if you ask me, it's been forever since crap topped the charts.
I was going to make a bold statement somewhere along the lines of this new Hinder CD being the 'Slippery when wet' of the 00's. That may be a bit too bold, but all I could think of as I listened to it is that it sounds like the stuff that Bon Jovi used to pack stadiums with when they were actually still an excellent band.
Yep, that would be a bit too bold. Hinder's newie is good, but its not slippery. Close tho, i'll give you that.
But there's nothing here thats the quality of say Livin On A Prayer or Shot Through The Heart.
Still a massive album.
Cheers
