Nice tune, looking forward to this album finally being released, all 4 promo tracks have sounded good to me

Rox Diamond - Let the Music Do the Talking. There were several weak albums last year, but in most cases I could still point to some positive aspects about them. Whether it be good musicianship, quality production, a good track or two, etc. But I'd be hard pressed to find anything complimentary to say about this release. Weak production, terrible songwriting, and an overall piss poor effort from a band whose prior two releases I enjoyed.

agreed, especially during the mid-break of the song between the 2:20 and 2:54 mark, it has a definite Lep vibe

Seems like a quick turnaround by these guys, has it even been a full year since the debut was released? The debut had a couple of nice tracks and this new song sounds pretty good as well.

It's ok, I like the chorus, but was hoping for something more uptempo for a first single. Similar to the new Tora Tora it seems to lack the energy and spark of old, they sing about a shot of adrenaline but the song sort of plods along, especially during the verses. For me it is at least a step in the right direction after Simplicity, which I thought was by far their worst album.

yeah, I'd agree neither track is as good as the three songs you mentioned, but I do think the style is similar to that earlier material which is probably why it appeals to me

doesn't blow me away but I like it, very much a straight forward late 80's style hard rock song, sounds like it could have easily been written during the Surprise Attack sessions

hmmm...quite the puzzle, I thought State of Salazar was correct based on Mike's earlier list but maybe it was Palace? If so, then Ghost is not correct which would mean Dynazty is likely the other (with KD) correct answer from Glen's list.

well, that likely eliminates Creye, I'd suggest next person consider trying State of Salazar from Mike's list and either Ghost or Dynazty from Glen's list, placing them in spots 1, 4 or 5

Ok, I'll take another guess at it... Amaranthe Kissin' Dynamite Care of Night Creye Disturbed

Alright, here we go, my guess of Dan's Top 5 of 2018 is as follows Kissin’ Dynamite – Ecstasy W.E.T. – Earthrage Beyond the Black - Heart of the Hurricane Care of Night – Love Equals War Tremonti – A Dying Machine

solid tune, hopefully they have a few uptempo tracks on the album, I'd like to hear George cut loose with some monster riffs and solos

solid album track, but neither of the recent promo tracks have that wow factor that we've become accustomed to from these guys, like 'Shakedown' did for example

another fairly average song with poor production, on the positive side he did add a guitar solo to this one

Nice tune, this may have been accidentally placed in the wrong thread, but I suppose if you're a fan of one you probably will enjoy both bands, so we can consider it cross promotion
