The album dropped today on Spotify. Solid stuff, nothing earth shattering. I like the production and sound. 

4 awesome summer tracks...but it’s September now 😩

Been long enough now, just drop the damn album already!

New video for 'Young Hearts'.

 

 

Probably my favourite track in the album and very deserving to be released as a single. 

The album came out and it’s good. The first 3 tracks are solid. The best track is the fifth one “Every Little Thing”. The second half has a few good tracks but too many average or Jazzy Westcoast ones that I’m not into. 
 

The voice and sound of WOA but not as good. The layers of sound and technicality that make WOA so special just aren’t the same with Lionville. 

This release is massive! Easily my favourite debut since One Desire in 2017. Everything from the songs, vocals of all sorts, guitars, drums, tasty keys and production are all ear candy to me. 
 The only “weakness” might be the lyrical content, but I really don’t care. 
They could have added an extra minute to “Lift Me Up” so awesome! Can’t unhear Winger’s “Madelaine” when hearing their “Madeleine”...that’s not a bad thing. 

New beefier remix of Takes All Night is on Spotify...awesomeness!

Of all the 80’s big hair acts none have shamefully turned their back on their original sound like Bon Jovi.

Horrendously bad. My ears are bleeding.

Agreed!

the original still sounds like it was recorded yesterday. Why touch “No Bed Of Roses” or “Sweet Sister Mercy”? Those tracks were perfect....leave them alone!!!

A great week of releases for the Prog/Pomp fan,  with this and the excellent Pinnacle Point albums on the same day. Both great stuff

Yep!

That Pinnacle Point is also fantastic. 

An absolute gem of a release. Note for note awesomeness. The production is fantastic as are the songs.

Wouldn't it be different if TMF and The Defiants got togetehr and each picked the top 6 songs of respective upcming albums and combined them into one disc, alternating song by song

I actually like that 2 vocalist release. 
 

Just like Allen/Lande....Laine/Poley would be awesome. Call the album Danger Meets Danger. 

I think Night Drive is awesome sounds like an end of credits track from an 80’s James Bond movie. Sounds like LeBrock which is great to my ears.
 

I’ve loved all three tracks so far.

Every time I see only ten tracks I get a little worried. It's like, "There. We did the bare minimum." I dunno, that's always my initial thought. 

I’m the opposite...when I see 14-15 tracks I’m thinking filler-ville! 10 like Glen said should be filler free. 

Once again Great White is making news that has nothing to do with music.

OK, listened to this album a few times now and I think I prefer the songs on the debut, but the production of this one. Is that fair? I agree with those who say Lions loses some momentum halfway through.

Totally agree

The first 4 tracks are great...Lions is dreadfully boring. Decadence On 10th Street reminds me of Extreme for some reason...it’s ok. Sedona is another snoozer. The tracks around those are good...the closer Winner Takes It All is excellent. 
 

The Defiants have taken the clear lead now after 2 full releases for each band. 

An evolution on the debut in the sound and production...more mature...more Defiants like😂

The title track sure crashes the momentum after the first four awesome tracks. 
 

It’s an anti “best of” list. 
Songs that were big hits or band’s signature tracks that to be honest are not a favourite of yours...you can’t even add them to a “best of” mix on your phone or on a CDR...and some just down right suck!
 

Headed For A Heartbreak- Winger (so boring!)

Wanted Dead Or Alive - Bon Jovi (Dead please!)

Dude Looks Like A Lady - Aerosmith (awful!)..Rag Doll was even worse

Cherry Pie - Warrant (not a bad song but the majority of the rest of the album is way better)

Mr. Roboto - Styx (I still can’t forgive Dennis for that mess)

More Than Words- Extreme (I like the song but damn that was so not the Extreme sound in general...my dad thought it was the Everly Brothers)

When The Children Cry - White Lion (I cry because I can’t take it anymore...too sappy)

Pretty Fly For A White Guy - The Offspring (nice sell out boys)

Enter Sandman - Metallica (It’s almost become a jingle and was so over played)

Silent Lucidity- Queensryche (I saw them live and they ended the concert with this one...talk about not leaving the show on a high)

That Raider logo is so Winger “In The Heart of the Young” era. 
 

To be honest the vocals are the weak link...three cool tracks but the singer doesn’t have a ballsy enough tone for the tracks.

Take The Dog Off The Chain - Babylon AD
Humans Being - VH
Poison Apples - Motley
Halfway To Heaven - Europe (not sure if this got significant airplay, but nowhere near their big hits)
Beleive - Stryper
Until You Suffer Some - Poison (I know this did ok, and was a single, but is easily their best song for me)
Say Goodbye - Krokus
Raise your Glasses - Kiss
Letter To A Friend - Warrant
Heartbreak Suicide - Danger Danger
Nobody Wins In The end - Nelson
Cure The Sane  - Dangerous Toys
Hot Love - Twisted Sister
Angela - Motley
Goin' Home Tonight - White Lion
Slave to Love - Quiet Riot
Chasing Rainbows - Wig Wam

Favourite Twisted Sister track is Hot Love by a mile but assumed it was a single since they made a music video for the track. 

Some of my favourite tracks are hidden gems or non singles from legendary bands here on HH. 
 

Here is my top 10...

Don’t Blame It On Love - Danger Danger

She’s Gone - Y&T (best track Whitesnake never did)

Take Me Back - Cinderella 

Fighter - Kane Roberts

No Bed Of Roses - Lynch Mob

Mr. Rainmaker - Warrant

I Wanna Know - Shotgun Messiah

Can’t Stand The Heartache - Skid Row

Take Me Back Home - Steelheart

Straight For The Heart - Whitesnake ... Here I Go Again is still my fave though. 
 

What are your top?

 Despite the cheesy lyrics it's a solid track...nice guitar work.

The song isn’t anything special but damn that band has all the tools.
