Interesting to hear being I recall you've been a big supporter of the band in the past. By all accounts, I've read 6-8 reviews and all have been pretty glowing. I was very lukewarm on the last album. I liked Apocalyptic and Mayhem....I Am the Fire was pretty good....But didn't much care for the rest. My copy should show up tomorrow and looking forward to checking it out. I don't listen to much female fronted stuff (or any lol) so Halestorm always feels like a little bit of a welcomed departure for me as they're just different than everything else I listen to. I've liked what I've heard from the singles so far so we'll see,

?

Ditto.

I'm a fan of Degreed and to me, this doesn't really sound like Degreed. I think the difference is Robin's griity voice that adds a bit more edge to it all and makes some of their choruses explode. Just don't get that same edgy feeling with Ted's album from the handful of songs I've heard. Agree that Kissin' Dynamite is awesome!

Really digging the album. I'd say Real World, Crank Up The Weekend and Insane are probably my favorite tracks...like the edge in those. Waiting on You, Hot Summer nights and Dangerous aren't far behind though. And like the variety songs like Attraction and Only You bring. The only song I'm not overly keen on is Breathe but that might grow with more listens. Fantastic effort all around though and I'm sure it'll sound even better once I get the CD in my hands Now we just need Rob to get his visa problems sorted out so we can have Nitrate and Midnite City both performing at MRF6 ?

Yeah, think the band is 100% dead. If I remember right, singer was jailed for sexual assault....And I even think it was with one of the other band member's girl friend but not 100& sure on that. I think he was due out of jail in late 2018 or early 2019....again not 100% sure. Either way, I think the chances are very, very slim of ever seeing anything more from these guys.....which is a shame as this was a great album.

It really does sound like Midnite City. I think I heard in an interview that Rob Wylde originally sang all these songs but they changed gears after Midnite City was formed and went looking for a new vocalist. Still very much a Midnite City vibe though with the production and riffs but the vocals give it just enough of a different vibe to give it a unique feel. Excellent throwback melodic rock album.

I think I saw Andrew post somewhere that he was shooting for sometime in October.

I think my top 5 at the moment are: 1. Shiraz Lane 2. Maverick 3. W.e.t 4. Kissin' Dynamite 5. Station/Nitrate I could see Kissin' Dynamite possibly moving up a notch with a few more listens as I'm loving that disc and it's been a grower. I'm expecting Nordic Union and Midnite city could both push my top 5 by years end though.

Have to agree....Absolutely killer album! I've been through it a handful of times now and I swear the more I listen, the more I like it. I don't know if it'll be my top album but it's definitely right there among my favorites this year. Have picked up their last album too and will be checking that out closer once I can get the new one out of my CD player Not sure how these guys slipped under my radar. Good stuff.

Can't wait....will be a blind preorder!

Agree...expecting very little after hearing how poor their lost tracks and were...but loved their debut so will definitely give this a look.

Like that...cool groove. Looking forward to this album.

Andrew sent out the album to those that pre-ordered and have to say after a couple listens I'm absolutely digging this. I'd say this essentially follows the same formula as the Midnite City album from last year in terms of being just a fun 80's throw back album. I'd think that anybody who liked that album might like this also as it has a very similar vibe. Good stuff

Degreed-lite is a good analogy....maybe even Degreed Super-lite. Songs I've heard have been okay but not really doing much for me.

Nice! Never got the debut so will pick that up for sure. Might grab the other two also for the bonus stuff.

Digging this also. Seems a bit more melodic than some of their earlier albums from what I've sampled. Like the direction they're going.

Listening to this album on you tube has convinced me to buy it. Never really paid much attention to these guys but like what I hear...melodic rock with a nice edge. I'll have to investigate some of their earlier albums. Really like the first few tunes...the ballad is great too. Dips a tiny bit in the middle but Waging War is great and like a couple other songs toward the end. Think I'll buy the Japan version though to avoid the digipak.

That's a good tune. I've never really been on to these guys but think I need to check them out closer.

Nice...never got this and wasn't going to pay crazy prices for it. Will be picking this up for sure.

Samples of all songs here: https://heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/glamcd.cgi?BandNum=8371&CDName=Real World Liking what I hear

Liking that tune a lot.....Digging the heavier, up tempo vibe. This one is definitely a summertime, windows down type of song Pre-order in....looking forward to this album in a couple weeks.

First I've checked this out....Bring The Light isn't too bad. Will have to keep an eye on this.
