Nightrain

Good track but not really convincing. Maybe a grower

Let's spam their f/book page with messages of re-releasing/re-recording "Early Years"! What's wrong with the 'Early Years' as it is? I agree it would be awesome to hear all those songs re-recorded, but I also love the untamed nature of early HS at their hungriest. Love that album. Maybe he meant re-recording them as it is if they can't get the license to re-release it ? just like Mood Swings II, not much changing except for the acappela stuff

RIP Joey

I rated 'Jaded' and 'Killing Me' a 10, so yeah backed on those two being the best tracks here. As of 'Eden', well I like it too, deserved a 9.25, for me the worst track is probably 'Black Rain', and i think 'Hurt' is not as good as the rest, but this album is a true monster, well worth the purchase!

I think 'B There With You' is the best song on that album, I'm okay with 'Ignition', 'Reunite', and 'Sharp Turn' as well but sadly for me, other songs there are either average or skippable.

A must-buy and another blind-purchase stuff

'Snakes' is one great song, but maybe only an 8.5 rated track? Hopefully this album was packed with more punchy and less-commercial tracks

Curious to hear and see how the whole album sum up, could be a contender to the top 5, at least in the first half of 2017

This band deserved more recognition. Three albums and all of em are solid, the fourth one should be a blind purchase material

Almost fooled me, thought it's last year's Crush, but then just remember, it's Cruzh

On the positive side, maybe Dann is way too busy to respond and he got some huge producing job to do. I think Giant ought to do one good come back album though, last one is 2010, not too ancient, maybe another one next year or two should be awesome

waiting for samples cmon Stefan, cast your spell

Listening (and enjoying) this for second day full... :guitar: The "problem" to me, maybe, is that the formula is beginning to be a bit repetitive (as some of you discussed posts ago in fact). Here quite tracks have too similar structure and rythm: Vertigo, Never Look Back, No Way Back, Killing Me, Jaded, Born To Lead, For Better Or For Worse,... All are pure music bliss, don't misunderstand me, just too samey. I find the tracks in Armageddonize more varied and distinctive. Also The Downfall Of Eden to me is Battlegrounds 2. That said, all are great and done with absolute perfection, so I can forgive it this time. But for the next one they should add some innovations to the mix, I think (but not in excess, of course). Apart of this minor whining, serious candidate to Album of the Year with Tokyo Motor Fist's, no doubt. Maybe because Erik is involved with so many projects now, his songwriting handprint were found everywhere and quite easy to remember, anyway, still a solid album as usual, maybe will rated well above 90%

One I always forget about. Don't worry, so does every one else. Any of you guys remember Care Of Night? Probably not, but I was curious about why their name had disappeared from all lips, so I actually went to the Facebook and found out a member had left the band - I think the bass player? But, in better news, they did say they were working on new songs. What that means in terms of any potential new album, I have no idea. But hopefully we hear from them again. They also lost their guitarist. That sucked. I thought he was one of the more tasteful guitarists of 2015. yeah i love Care of Night but sadly they're always be remembered as second rate Work of Art, and even WoA themselves maybe not making too much money from selling record, so maybe not much happening for them CoN dudes except it's a 'hobby thing'

yeah first one is quite average with maybe 3-4 good tracks, second one might not be different

I like to hear how they sound with Durbin. At least there are some great reviews from Adam Lambert + Queen, and don't forget that Erik Gronwall is a product of this Idol thing, so maybe this won't turn out bad

With hundreds of new artists releasing album every year and probably half of em or more aren't that good, let's save some listening time to throw a recommendation of which one should we check out first. Please state an album that you think are worth an 80% or more (or 4 stars and above) that just released their debut, or at least they weren't inactive for about 5 years and just released a sequel We're still early in 1st quarter but one name I could think of right now is SWEET MARY JANE - Winter In Paradise. TOKYO MOTOR FIST also should be included but they're Ted and Steve, old farts, so maybe shouldn't count
