  1. Assuming you don't mind the climate crisis/global warming message, that songs rocks pretty good. The album is shaping up to possibly be Bach's best solo effort to date.
  2. That one was definitely worse. So bad that I tried to forget it exists. Thanks for reminding me. I have to go rinse the taste of vomit out of my mouth now.
  3. I'll concede that it's still one of their worst efforts--if not THE worst--but the abysmal production made it nearly impossible to enjoy the handful of decent tunes on the album. But yeah, even with this re-recording, there are only 4 songs that I bothered with. Maybe it's not "badass," as you say ... but it's better, and the 4 songs that I like are now listenable. (For the record, one of those songs is "Purify," which you clearly don't care for.) Every band has a low point, but this "St. (b)Anger" project manages to salvage something from the wreckage. But I think we're all grateful that Metallica moved past this moment and gave us better albums.
  4. It's still Rex Carrol and he still blisters the six-string, and the new vocalist is decent enough (though Scott Wenzel was better, in my opinion), but I haven't cared for any of the songs they've released thus far. They just lacked the hooks that made early Whitecross so memorable.
  5. Man, that is really well done. Metallica should just buy this version from him and re-release it.
  6. @whiplash1972, thanks for letting me know about this. You're right, I'm kind of digging it. Make no mistake, Bad City was better, but it's good to hear Caddy singing again, and of course, the Christian lyrics don't bother me at all.
  7. There are considerably better songs on the album. Well worth checking out. "Hellfire Honey" and "Anthem" are my personal favorites.
  8. Solid band and arguably the best thing Jamie Rowe has done since his Adriangale days.
  9. These guys weren't even on my radar but that video has changed my mind. Good song, good sound, and it's got me interested in hearing the rest of the album.
  10. Good God in Heaven, what did I just listen to?
  11. Maybe not quite as awesome as the classic Bonfire version, but it ain't far behind. Nicely done, gents.
  12. I'm a huge fan of Michael Sweet but you (and Glen) are not alone in this. While Sweet has pretty much fully retained the powerful vocals from his younger days, he has lost some enunciational clarity (yup, just made that up). At least half the time, I can no longer understand what he's wailing on about these days.
  13. That latest single is better than the previous ones but still nothing to get too excited about.
  14. It's true. Once you breach the magical 5000 mark, you get free access to the Heavy Harmonies OnlyFans page where you can watch archived videos of Dan doing unspeakable things with CDs that are still illegal in 13 states.
  15. According to his profile, he joined exactly one day after me. Seniority rules!!
  16. I hit 21 years back in August. Wonder who has been here the longest?
  17. As much as I like Michael Sweet, this is shaping up to be his worst project by far. Glad to see the guy is getting work--gotta be tough to make it in the music business these days--but he rarely seems to deliver good songs outside of Stryper or his solo albums. But hey, he still sounds better than Don Dokken...
  18. Sure, it could have been better ... but I expected it to be worse.
  19. Never heard of these guys but they remind me of My Darkest Days. Catchy little modern rock tune about getting laid, LOL. I liked it enough to download the single so thanks for sharing.
  20. Hopefully you watched the unrated edition. It's so much better than the neutered PG-13 version they released in theaters. Not all horror movies need bloody kills to work, but this one definitely did.
  21. That sounds like a run-of-the-mill hard rock song to me, hardly worthy of the Hurricane name. Any L.A. strip band from the '80s with even a modicum of talent could've cranked out that tune. Filler material at best, and that's being generous. I don't have high hopes for this album, especially without Kelly at the mic, and that single has got my hopes limper than a eunuch.
  22. Assuming they make it all the way to the finals, they only need 4 more songs. With some minor lyric edits, their new song "1987" could easily be played, maybe "Hell's on Fire," and then they could do their covers of "Don't Stop Believing" and "I Want it That Way." Personally, I hope they make it to the live show, tell the producers they're playing a cover, and then launch into "Community Property."
