You're not. I loved the first album but "Queen" is a garbage song. 

Yeah, it's basically a copy of the Eminem song.

Good tune though.

I'm digging that track.  Eager to hear more.

You had me at Steve Overland.  Lineup looks good, looking forward to it.

I am very not picky when it comes to production but even I think this album sounds terrible. Good songs at the core killed by bad production. 

I like this song quite a bit.  Fits well with the first two albums and has me very much looking forward to the new one.

Only had one or two listens so far but a big disappointment at the moment.  Nowhere near the level of the first album

Picked it up - terrific album. Liking this one a lot. 

Solid first track though the obvious copying of Ozzy during the chorus is a little... obvious. 

Pinnacle Point is great and these sound good too. I'll be picking it up.

Not gonna rate them, but here's what made my Treat best of...

Progenitors
Always Have, Always Will
Rose Of Jericho
Heartmath City
Build The Love
Riptide
Tomorrow Never Comes
All Bets Are Off
Undefeated

That's pretty much what my list would look like though I'd probably ditch "Tomorrow Never Comes".

I have the Japanese version of this album and it contains a pet peeve of mine:

The bonus "acoustic" track that's basically the same thing as the original track.  Yeah, it's "different" but c'mon.  An acoustic version of a ballad that's already basically a piano track?  

Digging that first track, want to hear more, that's for sure.

that's the problem

 

LOL.  I get it, I totally get it.  But something about his about-to-blow-out-an-artery style and passion works for me.  Also, the band was super-nice when I reached out to them on Facebook so I want them to stay as-is

and a different vocalist

 

No way.  He's part of the package.

Any word on a new album from these guys?  This one and their debut are two of my all-time favorites.

Sweeeeeet! Their first two albums are great. 

On first listen through, this album is "meh".  Lots of songs that sound very similar and nothing that sounds particularly inspired.

no killers? you lot are mad.

At least half the album is killer 

Yeah, I would agree with that as well.  

Not terrible but not great either.  Sounds like a band imitating the sound of Queensryche.

Such a random album cover and band logo... looks more like Saga... or something like that..

It's a blatant ripoff of Roger Dean and his work for Yes and Asia like "Union" and "The Ladder". 

Been listening to this one a lot the last couple days and it's really grown on me.  Feels like a continuation of "Ghost of Graceland", which was an incredible album.  This one is just a hair below that.  Lots of great tracks with "Man Overboard" being my current favorite right now.  Great stuff.

Every single album Frontiers has ever released has been a "must hear for fans of...[insert genre here]".  Not like they're going to say "yeah, this one's not really our best work, you can skip it..."

Yeah, that's nice. Am I right in thinking this is the one hit wonder from the 80's who had a massive hit which I forget now, and she appeared on Australian 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' either this or last year?

That's her except she had five top 40 hits in the US, not just one, including a pair of #1 singles.  Two platinum albums, too.

Well, that sure was surprising.  I definitely want to hear more.
