Crazysam

Thanks for sharing, a bit of a country rock vibe to it, which I wasn't expecting from the band photo, not bad though

I was thinking the same regarding the song quality dipping. And a big part of that, for me, is that the vocals on this new one aren't as good as the first couple tracks

And now back to the music ...I gave this a listen today and thought it was pretty good. I would agree with some prior comments and say it is a step down in overall song quality from the debut. But there weren't any songs that I'd classify as filler. If you liked the debut I think you'll find it an enjoyable listen as it retains the same style. My initial favorites would be Outrun You, Because of Us and New Life Begins.

Agreed, one of the more creative lyric videos I've seen and a solid song

Toby has such a powerful voice. Martensson's songwriting may have gotten a bit formulaic of late but for me this new song isn't as strong as the ones he wrote on Mercury's Down. I look forward to hearing the album though and am still hopeful there will be some standout tracks even without Erik's involvement this time around.

technically the guys formerly known as Airless, the Robert Rodrigo Band, and if I read correctly their album was released this month, so as Geoff mentioned, that would be 4 albums this year with Johnny on vocals, a very busy man to say the least

Not bad

Haha! good stuff

2 for 2, very impressive

nice job, catchy pop song, but I had no clue and don't think I've ever heard of The Quick before

I thought their debut was solid, but the follow up just didn't click for me. Surprised they are releasing new material so quickly. That image in the video made me think this was going to rock, but instead the song is very much on the pop side, reminds of One Republic, until the last minute where they placed a guitar outro.

Thanks for sharing. Some solid, old school hard rock/metal on display, even if the lyrics are a bit cliche. I intend to check out the full album, which from what I've seen is scheduled to be released tomorrow.

I am in agreement with you guys on that aspect. Tunguska ranks higher on my list than those other three, which I found enjoyable as well. Even when not at the top of their game, Treat is still at another level compared to most bands. It would be hard for me to say their latest is 'miles' behind any album released this year.

Nice, all three promo tracks have sounded pretty good to me

My tastes differ from you guys on that comparison. Tunguska is a good album and will probably make my top 10 for the year, but CDG has stronger songs, in my opinion. If I want to listen to modern day Treat I will pick CDG over the last two. I would even go so far to say that if I were making list of my favorites from the last 10 years CDG would easily make my top 10 while Tunguska likely wouldn't crack the top 50.
