This is a quality track. It definitely fits right in their wheelhouse.

I gave each track 5-10 seconds, tops, and that was plenty for me. Eclipse is my favorite band and those quick samples sounded like stuff I'll love. Can't wait.

Last album had "Blood Wants Blood" so they already used up this album's "Blood" quotient.

It's been almost 2 years since the release of Paradigm.

Yeah, that's definitely not same-y Eclipse. It's much heavier for one thing. Not exactly their best song but really good nonetheless.

OK, the music in this one is absolutely fantastic. There is a *GREAT* song in there waiting to come out. But the chorus is terrible and I'm not crazy about the rest of the lyrics and singing either.

Kent Hilli's album has definitely moved up near the top for me, if not the very top.

Well, unlike last time I said something, I don't think there's a good song in there AND the production still sucks.

That song isn't bad but it's really generic. Meh.

This is one of their better releases. No, it's not "Double Eclipse" or even "II" but it's good. They definitely need to add another guitar and stick with the harder material. That's what makes "Double Eclipse" a classic - the hard guitars. Nobody's asking for more ballads or keyboards, that's for sure.

I've listened to this album at least a dozen times. I have no idea how much of it is really live and how much clean-up was done in the studio, if any. What I do know is that I love the album and it sounds great.

That is some seriously great news.

Yeah, I like it a lot.

"out October 8" is all the details I need. Can't wait!

Just gave this album a listen and I mostly liked it. However, the whole thing sounds like the same song over and over. And, really, sounds like an Art Nation album. That's not a bad thing but the sameness definitely gets old after awhile.

I'm not aware of all the backstory here but Froniters posted on their official Facebook today regarding a lawsuit involving them and Dino Jelusic. Apparently, Animal Drive has disbanded while either not delivering masters of their second album or delivering them with Frontiers refusing to release it. They are apparently suing Dino to prevent him from recording with anyone else. Something like that anyway. Here's their full statement:

Kent's got a new Facebook page and I asked this very question. His reply:

Yeah, this new track is pretty blah. And no bite or edge to it at all.

Always a good sign when a member of the band doesn't even know who is in the band or is playing on the record.

New single and video, "If I Could I Would": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5-1e8EUGlg

Yep, I really like this album. Heck, anything Robbie LaBlanc is great with me. I prefer Find Me over Blanc Faces but it's all good stuff.

Uh...that's horrible.

Thanks. Can't believe I forgot the link.

New video for "Unbreakable". This is nitpicking to the highest degree but... I could not help but notice that Alex isn't looking at the camera the entire time. He's looking off to the side - the way people do when they look at a phone's screen instead of its lens when being recorded.
