Crazysam

I enjoy some of the tunes off their last two albums. Anton can write some great melodies and the singer has a great range. New track is solid. The synths are a bit more pronounced than in past. Not saying that's a bad thing just an observation. I think they may get less attention on the forum just due to the mix of styles (Eurobeat, metal, symphonic rock) leading to more of a niche audience.

I'm fully vaccinated as well. I had been puzzled with the fact he hadn't held a press conference much sooner during this latest surge. But rather than the speech being inspiring it had an angry, condemning and authoritarian tone. “If you break the rules, be prepared to pay — and by the way, show some respect...” There were also the typical half truths and false statements that politicians tell us to justify their actions. Like not reiterating the key fact that vaccinated people can still get and spread the virus. And falsely claiming it was the increased number of vaccinations during the last few weeks that is behind some states seeing a decline in cases and hospitalizations now.

“If you ever speak like that to me again you better be wearing a cup." Eddie Van Halen, 1996

I was thinking the same about Ms. Fox, bit of an odd choice to collaborate with, she sounds ok though and it's a good tune

I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My dad ran a local night club for a few years, so I was fortunate to see a lot of bands before I was of legal drinking age. Not many of those bands gained fame outside of the Midwest region of the U.S. But a few of the acts may be recognizable to some forum members. Moxy Roxx - (featured Brooke Lynne (St. James) of Tyketto and Hector (Jackie) Ramos of Hericane Alice, Bangalore Choir and Bad Moon Rising) Warp Drive - band leader Mark Woerpel was in an earlier version of Moxy Roxx Bad Boy - featured Steve Grimm on vocals/guitar who later had a solo band as well Problem Child Fortress - changed their name to Eliot when they relocated to California

the vaccination rate is a big part of it. as here in the U.S. we are still unfortunately seeing a large number of hospitalizations and deaths, with that said the two states mentioned (Washington & Oregon) actually have about 60% of the population fully vaccinated, which probably equates to about 70% of the eligible (12 and over) residents, I may be mistaken but I don't believe those numbers are that much different than the UK's

I agree with you guys on that Fury album, that's a must have in my opinion

new song is pretty good, but as was mentioned sounds almost like a demo as far as the production

I've got that Road Ratt cd, thought it was OK. That track is probably the best on the album. I like the 1RKO album and the Washed demos. But only have those on digital format.

Not too far removed from their early material as far as style, but unfortunately the song doesn't really grab me.

I am disappointed to read in the write up that Sall isn't involved this time around. But the first track is a good one.

New track is solid, but the band sounds a little restrained on both of the promo tracks.

Thanks for the heads up. I gave it a spin yesterday and enjoyed it. The style is similar to the debut, with that early 90's melodic rock vibe, but as Geoff pointed out the sound is slightly heavier. A few fillers but I thought the song quality was a bit more consistent compared with the debut. My initial favorites are "Good and the Bad", which reminds me a bit of Danger Danger, "Pieces of Your Love", "In Those Eyes", "Nightmare Games" and the title track.

I was thinking the same thing. While it's great that Sarzo and Cavazo are a part of the reunion, knowing that Kelly isn't involved loses a lot of the initial appeal for me.

Glad to know this release is available and being shipped now. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the sound/style of the tracks. I was a little uncertain about purchasing, but based on what you mentioned I think I'll pull the trigger.
