CureTheSane

This was a great 3 track ep

Yeah, that was a poor recollection of the band.

Heaps of hooks and melodies, at times it leans a bit towards AOR for me.

Just listened to some Devil In The Details and it's better than I recalled.

Crying and Shine were good songs.

That Poodles song is good. I have a few of their albums, but they tend to lean towards that European heavy but lacking hooks and melodies feel.

Might have to listen to some again.

One of the best....

Daddy's Home - Meh. OK. Most of the best bits were in the trailer. Hate that.

The Other Side is the stand out for me from this band.

White Lies and Apologize are another couple of good songs.

Always see them as a hit and miss band.

This new songs didn't even get to enter the archery competition

Boo

Some of those cookie monster songs aren't so bad - I've come to accept them and even really like some when done properly.
Some of them contain some great melodies and hooks.

I love this one...

Predator.

Still great

Yeah, just joking, not really a competition.

I do like this cover version though. It ticks all the boxes for me, pays tribute to the original while creating a different song that isn't so different that it sucks.

I see your LA Woman and raise it with...

Can't believe 'Quicksand' didn't make that list of half the album either...

 

Meh, each to their own I guess.

Sometimes songs take on their own intrigue depending on what is happening around you at the time.

I class Loud And Clear - Disconnected as one of my all time favorite albums. I assume it is because the album is great, but I do recall many of the songs really being appropriate for that time of my life also.

Apparently the world will be pretty shit so retirement may not be what you anticipated

According to the song that is.

Probably the best of all time.

 

This album was well ahead of its time to me.

My favorites would be

Sad Theresa

Inside Out

Let It Rain

April 2031

Andy Warhol

Bitter Pill

Hollywood

 

not the best song then

 

Cannot believe you would rate all those ahead of 'Bridges are burning'

 

hey ho, to each their own.

 

Bridges Are Burning never really did it for me.

I like the song, but that's it.

Not sure how widely heard this CD was but this is one of the better songs off it...

Did they win?
I was overseas.

Much overlooked Europe song, and one of their best...

I read somewhere that Brian May stated that it has something to do with Freddie's own personal issue, so in this case, it's highly probably it's related with his sexual encounter. Perhaps 'I killed a man' also gave the meaning that the 'man' is himself, he's begging his mom for forgiveness because he can't fight the demon or something like that.

 

Freddie's parents were a devoted ancient religion called 'Zoroaastrianism', man I just found about it today haha but perhaps this religion is totally against gay-stuffs so totally a huge conflict between him and his family, but he chose to be Mercury, that's why the lyric 'Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth' has something to do with him leaving his old and family behind and becoming the man he was in Queen

Yeah, I either saw or read someone in or close to the band claim that it was Freddie's "coming out" song lyrically.

Musically it was a mash up of 3 songs he was working on I believe.

The Ballad Of Gene was the standout for me, but some other good tunes were Heart Of Steel, Superhero, I've Got The Love, Ruffneck Woman, Make Love.

Normally I avoid bands that lean towards AC/DC but this was different enough for me to really enjoy.

Dont judge on one song then. Simple.

Well, there's so much music out there.

I have a heap of music that really interested me and I haven't had time to listen to yet.

Sometimes I see a song posted and I think "that sounds awesome" and I see that it's a couple of years old so I open my music folder and there it is - I already have it and haven't got to it yet.

So for me, and many others I'm guessing, record companies need to do all they can to get new music heard, otherwise sales will suffer.

Everyone here seems to love The Defiants based on one song.

If they song they release first doesn't grab me, I'm guessing most of the rest likely won't

Just saw that there will be a new Gene The Werewolf release this year.

Looking forward to this more than the Defiants one.

Maybe that's the result of posting more samples?

I hear the one Defiants songs and don't take to it so I'm kinda negative to the whole release.

Here Ted posts snippets of 6 or 7 songs and some I really like.

My favorite would be Believe, if that is considered a ballad.

I could only really say Stryper.

Never been big on the Christian bands and Soldiers Under Command attack was my first taste of Stryper purchased purely on seeing the cover of the record

I like their ballads, more than their heavier stuff.
