simo

That solo's something else, so glad Dave is back in the band. I know he was on the last album already but stuff like this makes me really appreciate his return

Play dirty

Not quite sure what you're trying to get across here buddy. How old are you? People are sheep but I would have been a sheep then. I'm NOT a sheep now, so, I wish I could have been in the 80s when everyone was a sheep to the music I like. Do you think I like 80s music just because it's not popular?!?! Big fat lie. 

I'm 31, and no I'm not saying you like 80s music cause it's not popular. Not at all. It's just that you mentioned all your friends woul've been ''cool'' in the 80s and I'm saying I'm not so sure about that because people are sheep and many of them would be listening to rock music purely cause it's mainstream, simple as that. But I'm sure it was an amazing decade and many people on this forum will confirm that

I thought about that many times too. However, I am not so sure it would have been THAT great..... here's why: just like people listen to garbage these days like Billie Eilish, Post Malone or whatever, the majority of people who listened to rock music in the 80s did so because it was the thing to listen to. People are sheep basically.

Same goes for the 60s or 70s, when I hear guys older than me tell me ''our music back in the day was better'' or ''we had better taste in music'' I think no you didn't because back in those days they played bands like the Eagles, Sabbath or Pink Floyd on the radio and people just went along with it.

Sure there must have been an exciting element to it being there and experiencing when landmark albums by our favorite artists like GNR, Dokken or Ratt were released. But I love that today we have the possibility of listening to everything we want cause all the good material has been released already and is easily accessible.

An example I like to make is the movie Heavy Metal Parking Lot - I bet you at least 80% of those people (most probably even more than that) would not be listening to rock or metal today (if they were the same age they were then, teens or young adults) but rather what's on the charts or the radio. Our music is a niche these days but I don't mind. At least you know that people really like the music and are dedicated to the genre

I had a hard time listening to this one, between the vocal effects and the poor job mixing/mastering of the album it started giving me a headache towards the end.  If you can get passed the overall sound issues there are a few solid tracks, but overall I just didn't enjoy this 

I have to agree, listening to this felt like a chore (despite the short 38 min run time). Especially towards the end cause most passable tracks are around the middle part of the record. 

Very good job on that new song 

Pain & Gain with Mark Wahlberg and The Rock

Sad to say but the best track was the intro, nice throwback to Heavy Metal Parking Lot

To be honest I liked the last track quite a bit, maybe it seemed better than it actually is after listening to all the bad songs that came before

Now THIS is what I wanna hear! Great riff, well done

New song is horrendous 

H.e.a.t. with Erik

Will task myself with creating a best of CD from their two albums once I'm more familiar with the new songs and know which ones to pick in what order. But one thing's for sure, that mix CD will be nothing short of amazing

I would appreciate if you guys could answer the following question :

Has anyone heard the GUIRO (if you don't know what it is please google it) in "Love Is The Killer"? And does it bother you?

I just noticed it while listening to the album with headphones. They already used a guiro on the debut ("Waiting On A Heartbreak") which I thought was strange at first but it's only during the chorus and I've since gotten used to it. But this time they really went overboard with it it's so irritating. You can hear it throughout the entire verses and the solo... 

Edit: it's also on U X'd my heart, although a bit more subtle. What's the fascination with this (sorry to say) useless instrument? The only thing it does is ruin a perfectly good song

On this week's episode of everyone's favorite soap opera "Changing of Seasons" - guitarist Pav leaves the band before their US tour and and release of the new Album in October 

Greta Thunberg and all her sheep

Once upon a time in Hollywood

Difficult for me, New Religion was my introduction to the band and there's a lot of sentimental value attached to it. Ruff Justice I listened to a lot and it works well as an ''album''.... I will say this though, the last track on ''Forever Wild'' is massive and infinitely better than the last track on Ruff Justice

While they share a similar theme and lyrical content (Live Before I Die / Never Die... ''living my life, taking matters into my own hands'' yadda yadda.......) the Ruff Justice album closer is pretty tame and almost ''uneventful'' compared to what they deliver on Never Die (Forever Wild). It's uptempo, intense, and the double guitar solo gives me a stiffy everytime. I regularly get speeding tickets when listening to that song in my car

Midland - Let It Roll

Also Crazy Lixx wasn't bad

Midland - Let It Roll

Hands down album of the year for me, so addictive. Been playing it for a week straight now, 5-10 spins per day

Its a KILLER song and is fast and furious... the album is different...but still 100% classic Eclipse. Yes, I know that doesn't make sense...haha

....... Not sure bout all you guys, but by "fast and furios" I was expecting something more like this:

This new Eclipse track sounds more like a Eurovision Song Contest entry 

This is very good 

1 more week......

While the last album (Lower The Bar) wasn't that great, the first two singles ''Anything Goes'' and ''Poontang Boomberang'' were very good which can't be said for the two singles they released from the new album so far...
