I wholeheartedly agree with the positive comments and the comparison in style to early Danger Danger. I had enjoyed the samples the band put out prior to the release but the album has surpassed my expectations. Midnite City's debut has quickly moved into my top 5 for 2017 after listening to it a few times this week.

I've given this one a few listens and it unfortunately hasn't grown on me. I thought their first 4 albums were great and while this isn't a bad album, I find myself skipping several tracks and don't see it cracking my top 20 for 2017.

Similar to Darkstone I often find the first song to be a good indicator of what I can expect from the rest of the album. I actually have two playlists made of only opening tracks. Here is one of those playlists, leaving off songs you've already listed. 21 Guns – Knee Deep Alien - Brave New Love Black ‘n Blue – Rockin’ On Heaven’s Door Bon Jovi - Runaway Bonfire – Ready 4 Reaction Brett Walker – Hard to Find an Easy Way Casanova – Don’t Talk About Love David Lee Roth – Yankee Rose Danger Danger – Naughty Naughty Dare – Abandon Dirty Looks – Blue Tequila Dokken – Kiss of Death Europe – Superstitious Eyes – Callin’ All Girls FM – That Girl Great White – Lady Red Light Guns N’ Roses – Welcome to the Jungle H.E.A.T - Point of No Return Harem Scarem – Hard to Love Honeymoon Suite – Bad Attitude Hurricane – Over the Edge Icon – Right Between the Eyes Kane Roberts – Wild Nights L.A. Guns – Over the Edge Le Mans – Love Lies Lillian Axe – All’s Fair in Love and War McAuley Schenker Group – Gimme Your Love Night Ranger – Don’t Tell Me You Love Me Ozzy Osbourne – Bark at the Moon Ratt – You’re In Love Savatage – Edge of Thorns Shark Island – Paris Calling Shy – Emergency Stage Dolls - Still In Love Strangeways – Where Are They Now TNT – Everyone’s A Star Treat – Sole Survivor Tyketto – Forever Young Unruly Child – On the Rise Vain – Secrets Von Groove – Once is Not Enough W.A.S.P. – Wild Child W.E.T. – Walk Away Whitesnake – Slide It In Wig Wam – In My Dreams Wildside – Hang On Lucy Winger – Madalaine

I've got a similar bootleg set of these recordings on cdr. The version I have also has a demo of Sweet Love Child but is missing the two live/rehearsal tracks listed on the artwork above at end of disc two. I thought many of the tracks that didn't make Prisoners (or their best of release) were good songs, but the sound is typical demo quality.

This second track sounds pretty good to me. Not on the same level as their debut, but I like it.

Another average track, for me. Hopefully the album has a couple of gems on it though

The production on this one does sound better than their prior releases. Pretty good album, but I prefer City of Gold and Stand In the Fire.

That is a great ballad

yeah, had I not seen the video I would have thought the same in regards to the singer during the verses, pretty good tune

It isn't a return to the 80's G N' R style of Screaming For Adrenaline like I was hoping for, but it is a good tune, I like it

There isn't anything positive I can say about this new track, very disappointing

Not bad, singer sounds bit like Robert Mason

Great tune and nice video tribute to RJD and Dime. I thought Anthrax's last two albums were their best since the 80's

That is a nice review, in depth and fair, while pointing out to fans what they can expect with regards to the style and sound of the tracks. I continue to look forward to hearing the full album.

Pretty good song

Agree with you both, solid tune, but it lacks that killer hook that I've come to expect from a lead single of a JSS album

From various internet sources - http://www.pavementmusic.com/artists/janet-gardner/ VIXEN VOCALIST JANET GARDNER INKS DEAL WITH PAVEMENT ENTERTAINMENT - SOLO ALBUM TO BE RELEASED AUGUST 18TH, 2017 Best known as the lead vocalist of the all-female rock band Vixen. Teaming up with guitarist/songwriter/producer Justin James (having worked with Staind, Collective Soul, and Tyketto), Gardner has ventured into the solo realm to unleash a new side of her musical creativity. Together, Janet and Justin have penned a collection of emotionally charged songs with gritty grooves, infectious hooks, and inspired lyrics that merge hard rock influences from the last four decades. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/vixen-vocalist-janet-gardner-more-solo-album-details-revealed.html "This is a very diverse collection of music. Justin and I combined forces with hard rock influences from the last four decades. If you like the seventies, the song 'The Good Or The Bye' is the song for you. If you like the eighties, 'If You Want Me', 'Candle' and 'Hippycrite' are for you. If you like the nineties, you might dig 'Your Problem Now' and 'The Grind', but they all have a common thread that is simply our sound together." 01. Rat Hole 02. Hippycrite 03. If You Want Me 04. Candle 05. Your Problem Now 06. Let It Be Over 07. Lost 08. The Grind 09. Best Friend 10. The Good Or The Bye First video from the album...heavier, more modern sounding than I expected

Another track from the upcoming album

I'm somewhat interested as well, although I wish they'd have included the tracks from the unreleased 3rd album

I stream a lot of music and listen to discs on my old portable cd player during my work day, plus my wife and I don't watch a lot of television. I find out about newer bands or releases through sites like this, but I don't buy new release cds too often unless it is a favorite band or something I've heard already and really like.

Not bad

Very cool, I saw Helix many years ago and they put on a really fun show. Did Honeymoon Suite and Helix primarily play their old stuff or was it a mix of old and new songs?

I'll pass on these guys

I thought their prior song Run was alright, but unfortunately the only thing I enjoyed about these new ones was the guitar solo in Tell Me A Lie
