the debut gets a big thumbs up from me. Most of the album is great.

The second album was a big let down for me.

 

 

Yeah, the first album is full of killer tracks.  The second one runs out of gas real quick and ends up disappointing.

For sure.  Johnny's brother, Neal Schon, and Deen Castronovo are all gone.  No disrespect to anybody who has joined since then but...you're not replacing Schon & Castronovo.  You're just not.

Angels or Kings shared a post from Tony Bell on Facebook this morning

You may be interested...you may not give a shit, but just to let you know we have decided to call it a day. Thanks so much for your support and your kind words over the years because it really meant a lot, but more important was the great friends we made along the way. Cheers x

Definitely a bummer for me.  Love their two albums!

This track was a total miss for me. 

I think this album is alright but none of the tracks really stand out to me.  Pretty much every album before this has had one or more tracks that I thought were killed.  Not so much with this one.  And I *really* don't get the pre-release hype comparing this to "Double Eclipse".  It's not even in the same stratosphere in terms of quality or the sound.

You know it's a high quality production when the "official lyric video" includes misspelled words and incorrect lyrics. 

The song sucks, too. 

If I'm not gonna get a new Rage of Angels album, this will be close enough. 

I like that song. Need to hear more. 

That one is a lot better.  Gives me more hope for the album.

New track is pretty generic and weak, IMHO.

Anything by The Magnificent  

Hey, I liked that album

Hmmm...anything with Robbie LeBlanc intrigues me but that first track was pretty "meh".

Artwork for the new album.

Crappy artwork. Who the hell was the designer?

'We must have a car...Check!'

''And a woman...Check!'

'What else?...Some hot air balloons perhaps?...Check!'

 

I could design a better looking cover.

 

Hot woman and a hot car on a rock album cover - what else do you need?  Lose the dumb balloons and we're good.

That first single is pretty decent.  Nothing spectacular but gives me hope for the rest of the album.  Sounds like another song and can't put my finger on which one...

Never heard of these guys but I dig Harem Scarem so I'll be checking it out...

First song up above, I like.  The ballad?  Terrible.

Damn, if you close your eyes, you'd swear that's Tate! LOL

Careful.  He might spit on you for saying that.

Holy shit they covered Desperate Dreams. That's my favorite Survivor song. I didn't even notice it in the tracklisting for some reason, so my heart skipped a couple beats when I first heard those opening notes. I dunno guys, I think the cover is terrific...Too Hot To Sleep doesn't get nearly enough credit for the masterpiece it is anyway, and I loved LaBlanc's vocal take on it.

I agree.  I thought it was a terrific cover of a great song.

Not liking that first track. And could definitely do without the gasp or whatever it is that Overland is doing at the end of every line.

Do you ever not like the Jap bonus tracks??

Pointless waste of space, imo. As are every single one of these Jap "bonus" tracks that are just acoustic versions of a song already on the album. No one wants to hear it. Seriously. I remember when Jap versions used to have valid bonus tracks - those days seem long gone. No bigger waste of time in the current era than Jap "bonus" tracks.

Rant ended. 

Thank you. The bonus tracks are almost always a complete waste*. 

* - exception is the bonus tracks on the Deluxe version of Armaggedonize from Eclipse. Those are great. 

Yep, sounds like a new Work of Art album.  And that's great!

Awesome stuff.  Definitely want to hear more.

Cool. Hope it's okay. There is a lady in the band, it appears. 

Yes, she joined in 2011

Good song but not as good as "No Tears".  Still very pumped for the full album.

If that camera effect is to make the singer look younger it ain't working.
good song, unattractive clip.

would be better with strippers or something

Every time I watch a video from Treat, I have the same thought.  Dude looks 150 years old.
