    Seahawks in a laugher. Tennessee with the comeback win. Green Bay loss costs the team their coach.

    Lamar Jackson leads Ravens to 3rd straight win! Fuck Flacco!
  3. Hahaha.... killer song according to @Glen
  4. Great minds think alike cousin! What's your opinion on "Creeps"?
  5. Haha. My least favorite. Predictable and just plain boring.
  6. Okay. I must give a re-review of this since I've been playing it quite a bit. The thing about this release, the second half of the album is much better than the first IMO. I like the opener "Progenitors". Solid tune with a memorable chorus. It's the next 4 or 5 tracks that are good but nothing amazing. Not filler but definitely not killer. Once we get to the single "Build The Love" and the subsequent tracks "Man Overboard" and "Riptide", the rest are more in line with what I want to hear from Treat. My scores: Progenitors 7.75/10 Always Have, Always Will 7.5/10 Best Of Enemies 7.25/10 Rose Of Jericho 7/10 Heartmath City 7.5/10 Creeps 6.75/10 Build The Love 7.75/10 Man Overboard 8/10 Riptide 8/10 Tomorrow Never Comes 7.75/10 All Bets Are Off 7/10 Undefeated 7.75/10 75%
  7. I really like this song. Need to track this down.
  8. from internet sources: Formed in 2013, i-LAND hails from Canary Islands, Spain, so you easily can get where their name come from. The four-piece are presenting their debut album, the self-titled "i-Land", a delicious collection of songs inspired by the golden melodic hard rock era. With interesting lyrics in English, a polished / detailed production sound and really good musicianship, one thing is clear since the first bits of "i-Land": these guys love American Melodic Hard Rock circa 1989-1991. The melodic and catchy riff from opener “Just an Illusion” instantly bring to my mind Mr. Big second and third albums, an impression heavily accented by Fasur Rodriguez phrasing and vocal color reminiscent of Eric Martin. Love the lyrics too, about a young rock band aiming for recognition. Is it second cut "Angel" an outtake from an Eric Martin solo album? Not at all, but this sweet midtempo melodic rocker sounds like that. However, i-Land, as band, isn't a mere copy of Mr. Big, because they add their own spin to the melodies. Great guitar work here as well. “Believe in You” brings acoustics to the fore for a lovely melodious tune, followed by the proper power ballad on the album, “Memories of Love”, perhaps the more '80s track from the bunch, and one of the best. Back to melodic hard, the bass pumping “Muppet Show” delivers strong guitar riffs and social criticism in the lyrics, then “The First” is another favorite of mine with its AORish feel which brings to my mind Jim Peterik songwriting style. “Will I Remember” delivers more of that timeless, acoustic rock foundation recalling early '90s Extreme and Mr. Big type of songs, very well arranged and crafted. i-Land is wonderful surprise from Spain, a band that sounds and feel more American than the Americans. Their debut "i-Land" is all about late '80s / early '90s Melodic Hard Rock from that part of the globe, plenty of melody and served with a pristine production. "i-Land" leaves me hungry for more, let's hope they stay together and make a second effort soon. Very well done guys. Highly Recommended Tracklist: 01 - Just an Illusion 02 - Angel 03 - Believe in You 04 - Memories of Love 05 - Muppet Show 06 - The First 07 - Will I Remember Fasur Rodriguez - vocals Leo Zanello - guitar Juanka Trujillo - bass Emilio Diena - drums BUY IT ! store.cdbaby.com/cd/iland3
  9. Agreed. It's by far the weakest of the last 3. None of it is bad per se, but there isn't any killers on it.
  10. Queensrÿche have announced the release of The Verdict on March 1, 2019, via Century Media Records. "I'm extremely proud of what we were able to accomplish on this record. The relentless dedication and hard work of everyone involved has been very rewarding," singer Todd La Torre said in a statement. "I am excited and looking forward to it no longer just belonging to us, but belonging to the world. We hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!" Added guitarist Michael "Whip" Wilton, "The Verdict is the most metal and the most progressive record we have made in a long time. I couldn't possibly be more excited for everyone to hear this." The Verdict was produced, mixed, and mastered by Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Iced Earth, Hatebreed) at Uberbeatz in Lynwood, WA, Planet-Z in Wilbraham, MA and Watershed Studio in Seattle, WA. A Pledge pre-order campaign is currently running here. Additionally, Queensryche will be heading out on a spring 2019 tour in support of The Verdict. Support will come from Fates Warning, with the Cringe joining both bands on select dates.

  11. In terms of the album, it all sounds good and all...... but it's just so kind of predictable in it's delivery. It's almost as if they forget to have different paced songs. I think it's a solid 75%. But no Top 10 for me.
  12. Like him or not, stock market/economy is booming, unemployment at lowest in decades, black unemployment lowest ever, strengthened the military, yes, he's an asshat, but you can't deny the good things he has done.
  13. 100% accurate. I might not like some of the shit Trump says, but he is definitely 100 times the President Obama was.
  14. Great news!! Shake the Faith (the Baltimore version) has been snapped up by the label Heaven And Hell Records and will be releasing their demo on CD with the Shakey Jane demos as a bonus!!

    Whoever the AFC faces, they will get crushed by the NFC. Saints or Rams vs Chiefs will be a great SB

    Mediocre league this year. Parity at it's best. Dan's Eagles are in trouble.

    What a crazy season. How did the Ravens beat Tennessee and have 11 sacks? And now Titans beat Patriots???
  18. I concur. Very nice disc, and slightly better than the great "Smash".
