Thanks mate.

Junkyard Drive - Drama Queen Junkyard Drive - Geordie

Review at melodicrock.com: http://www.melodicrock.com/articles/reviews/2017/03/07/eclipse-monumentum-review Score 100% Woooow, Andy? One question, the "For better or for worse" track is the same as Brother Firetribe or just a title coincidence?

This one has just been released from Finland. Tracklist: 01. The End (Easier Than Love) 02. Wake Up 03. Feeding the Fire 04. Changes Come 05. Ending Mode 06. Child of the Sun 07. Perfect Enemy 08. Incomplete 09. The Warmth 10. Garden of Chains 11. A Better Man I've found a sample and I'm surprised, very melodic: This one harder, but not bad at all IMO (the video could be better though):

Great album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzYfSpz8fSI

Temple Balls - Traded Dreams (possibly not >80% but >75% for me, worths a listen) Jim Jidhed - Push On Through (>80%; not precisely a newcomer as he's the vocalist of the classic band Alien, but though he has done solo albums in swedish these years, his last solo album in english was in 2003: Full Circle) One Desire (Not released yet, but the samples are awesome) Other possibilities (IMO not >80% but at least above average): Supernova Plasmajets, Age Of Reflection,...

B side: 07. Wigelius - Do it all again 08. White Widdow - Surrender my heart 09. Pretty Maids - Face the world 10. Sixx AM - Maybe it's time 11. First Signal - Weigh me in 12. Ted Poley - Higher Hope you like it! Have another list for 2016 or past years? They are welcome!

Note: It's a track list, not a score list. 3 rules: -12 tracks, no more, -only 1 song per band, -songs 4, 5 on each 'side' have to be mid-tempo/ballads, like in real CDs. 2016 01. The Defiants - Love and bullets 02. Nordic Union - Hipocrisy 03. Cruzh - Aim for the head 04. Palace - Part of me 05. Treat - Do your own stunts 06. Vega - White flag

Full listened this. A-W-E-S-O-M-E! Very serious contender to album of the year (Eclipse, you better do your homework!).

When is Steel Panther coming out? Is it this Friday or March 24?? I've seen both dates Says 24.03 on amazon. Jeez that day is gonna be awesome..... Brother Firetribe, Eclipse, House of Lords, Night Ranger, One Desire also due.....very cool. Wow!

I admit the band name made me laugh a bit at first but all 4 samples are excellent. Ted Poley is living a second youth indeed. In my list of most wanted.

Harlequin or Harley Quinn?

For me, it's about 65% and basically thanks to Kiske's voice and the good production, but most of songs have very few or weird melody. It's not the worst I listened in my whole life obviously, but I prefer to listen something more enjoyable (as the previous 3 albums were, or even the last of Unisonic).

Listened to the full album once... And enough. This one never happened.

Very good track. Thanks a lot!

Looking forward! How about HOL? Brilliant new albums from Eclipse, Art Nation, and Brother Firetribe...... why do you have to destroy the momentum with the weak HOL? LOL

I always love the year's lists here, because I like when I agree with your choices and I like even more when I discover gems I missed. So BIG THANKS to all you, mates. I appreciate your efforts. And my top-5 for 2016: 1. Nordic Union 2. First Signal 3. Palace 4. Treat 5. Seven

My God, it is. (Well to be honest, I would say it's quite 'weird' instead of 'crap', but definitively not good at all). Why, Kiske, why?

Nice song, a bit safe like Geoff said, but quite good.

+100000000000000 googoltriplexes, but only if the song quality is on a par with the debut.

Very good. And I totally subscribe the HEAT + Treat argument too.

As vocalist David A. Saylor has sadly passed away, a little tribute. David A. Saylor - Open Door (not a bonus)

Sad news. RIP
