Listening this morning and sounding good to me. I think the title track More Than The Moon is my early favorite and maybe my new favorite Station song. That would be followed in some order by Easier Said Than Done, I Won't Break Your Heart, Always Be A Part Of Me and When I Came Undone. I do think it sounds a bit more huge than the debut and also is more concise with 12 songs. If I have a criticism, it might be that a couple songs feel a tiny bit too long. I think Lie To Me is close to 7 minutes and Losing You is just over 6 minutes. And also still disappointed they didn't include All You Need is A Heartbeat on the album as I really like that song and feel like it would've fit well somewhere early in the track list on this. I hope maybe they include it somewhere in the future as I'd just like to have it in CD quality to listen to. Tough to say much else at this point though only having been through it once. I think initially I'm feeling like it's stronger top to bottom than the debut and a solid release.

I do think I liked that last song Never Surrender the best so far after listening to it properly. I'm squarely on the fence here if I want to preorder this or not. It does sound really good, the songs seem very well put together and the singer can definitely sing. It just doesn't seem to have the same sort of melodic hard rock edge that is where my tastes normally lie and while it sounds good, not sure it'll really blow me away. That said though, part of me still finds myself kind of liking it if I'm in the right mood.

Welcome! You'll discover lots of great stuff here!

Have to say I'm really digging this album and think they did a fantastic job with this. Yeah, it's a tad heavier than the last two but sounds great. Among the rockers I really like Cold Star Dancer, Kiss Of Fire and Viper. And I also really like the more melodic numbers in Seize The Day, Goodbye and Kings that lend a little variety and break up the rockers. I'm not sure yet how I'll rank it among their other two albums. I liked Big Red a bit better than Quid Pro Quo and my initial reaction is that I like this one a little bit more than Big Red. For me, Big Red tailed off just a bit in the second half and I'm liking this new one basically from the first note all the way to the end. It's really splitting hairs though.....All are great albums. The only thing i don't like is the digipak it came in. Oh how I wish artists would stop using these things as they always just end up getting bent, frayed, or whatever. I know it's not the "collectible" thing to do, but I either cut these things up to try making jewel case inserts out of them or scan them and make my own inserts. So in that regard the first two albums had a leg up even though this might be the best artwork of the three. It's a shame they wasted it with digipaks even though I guess digipaks are better than no CD at all. Okay....sorry for the rant. Ultimately it's the music that matters and enjoying this one a lot.

Pretty much my thoughts too.....definitely a fun, pretty good debut with that 80's party vibe. And Roxy Blue is a great comparison. I'd even agree on the favorite tracks. I also thought they did a pretty good job on the ballad Forbidden Love. Nice little surprise.

I'm hoping mine is in the mailbox...been away the past week. Looking forward to hearing this. I think I'll like it as I've liked the first 3 songs.

Same for me Amazing how much they improved from the debut.

Exactly how I feel. Really good AOR that many will like but not enough edge to it for me.

My top W e.t songs would be very different than above...and many near the top would be from the new album. I'd probably put Learn to Live Again first, followed in some order by Watch The Fire, Calling Out Your Name, Urgent and Dangerous. Then maybe The Moment and One Love. I'm not sure after that...Probably Walk Away, What You Want would be next. I'm sure though that for me nothing from the first album would be in my top 5.

Agree! I like the Erik influence on this and the more Eclipse feel. It's like the best parts of Eclipse though...melodic as heck mixed with JSS vocals. I really like the vibe of this and super easy to listen to all the way through. Still feeling like it's my favorite W.e.t album.

Really is great all the way through. Quite a collection of music in their three albums....Really cover just about everything in the spectrum between AOR and melodic hard rock and they do it all really well. I don't know if it'll be my favorite album this year....I do really, really like Shiraz Lane....but both are basically perfect IMO and really couldn't ask for more. And still some fantastic stuff coming with Maverick, Station and Midnite City I'm just glad we're getting such awesome new music to listen to

Good tune. I almost wish that song had another verse or something though....Feels a little short for some reason even though it's 3 minutes long. Maybe it's the kind of abrupt ending it has that is making it feel short to me. Interesting song though.

I'm not sure you're getting an "If I Fall" type song though. They seem to have moved away from the more "AOR-ish" songs and the Eclipse influences are apparent. There's a pretty good ballad though and a more mid-tempo song that's interesting I like the direction though. For me, Rise Up was better than the debut and this one is better than Rise Up.

Is it better if I say it's my favorite W.e.t album

Not too bad....good song. Agree with the "safe" comments though. While it sounds just fine I'm not sure this is really exciting me.

Cranking this today Not saying much right now except pretty solid

At about the 47:00 mark in this is Seize The Day. For me the most immediate of any of the new songs I've heard....Reminds me a bit of The One from Big Red.....great stuff.

Agree with you....Those riffs are very Eclipse-like. The first single Watch The Fire had an Eclipse feel too, almost more so with Erik singing.... That's just fine with me though. Soto's vocals keep it sounding unique and blend well with the music. Really a great pairing with these guys and have to say I'm impressed with how Erik can keep cranking out all these great songs seemingly no matter who is singing them.

I think I saw somewhere that one is in the works. I can't remember where....Think it was on FB somewhere. For some reason I'm under the impression they were aiming for 2019. Might have been completely dreaming that so don't hold me to it lol.

Another song posted...Again not sure how long this might survive...Sounding pretty good to me.
