  1. Ok. I can understand your thinking regarding one`s favorite bands. In my case it was Bon Jovi. First album I ever bought was Slippery, liked NEw Jersey even better. Saw them live few times, but after 1995 only some good songs on each album but still bought albums, since Richie left I cant stand their latest albums or even live. So from that scenario I see that I am not just following my favorite bands regardles what they put out. But in Tesla case I do stlll enjoy their releases, even those post 2010. A admit that Shock had some filler but also some of their best songs post 2000 like The Mission. I do miss the heavier element that Tommy brought. songs like Dont de-rock me, Action talks.
  2. No problem, it gets there by itself. Could it be that we are missing Teslamusicblock filter installed
  3. Now also the official video is out, recorded live in front of large crowd in California. This song seems to be a real grower. Was actually a bit disappointed after first 2 listens. But still played it few more times. And then it happened - when I was doing other things, without music, parts of song started playing in my head ;-).
  4. For me it is still to early for full review. I would say that the top songs here are not so good as the top 4-5 songs on self titled. But I think the less good songs here are more interesitng and demand more effort then the less good songs on prevoious one. But I just dont get reviews that say...Allison Kraus songs I just skip ? Back in the day when you waited months to buy just one LP or CD, there was no skipping. You listned to the songs you didnt like for days, weeks until you hopefully liked them more. So if you have an open mind and listen to song like Lifeless, it has one of the more catchy pop choruses they wrote recently. I struggle more with piano ballads, not because of arrangments or piano but because they have not really memorale verses or choruses.I like rockers more, all are nice listen but almost nothin stands really special. Top tracks maybe Kick, and then From here to Eternity.
  5. Treat - to the end of love . One of the best songs released this year
  6. New album is out for a week and no comments ?? Strangly I was disapponted after first listen, maybe not good to listen to it over headphones. More playing caused songs to grow a lot as I still need more time for it. It is different album than excellent The Serpent Rings. It is less epic, less different arrangments. But it has shorter, more to the point songs with several good or great choruses and BOb sounds great, less raspy as few albums back. It is doing great in big German market as it is at #5 in general album chart there. It is #51 in UK.
  7. Hard to come up with list 1 to 10. Top 2 albums: Thunder - I am usually a chorus guy. Choruses on this album are nothin special but almost ever song has some powerful, interesitng riff that is base of the song, good perfomrances and singign. And months after release I like it even more. Art if Illusion - I never liked much singer Lars in his other projects but songwriting and some over the top (queen style ) songs on this just gets me and it is great after several plays Tier 2: W.E.T Retransmission - I thought when this came out this in album of the year. I still like it alot, just a little bit less. Eclipse -Wired As all Eclipse music this is high energy music good for workout. Maybe the formula is a bit repetiteive, but still some great choruses. Best part for me are quieter instrumental parts, like Bite the Bullet middle part, they are great complenmet to their usual powerful riffs and choruses. Inglorious - We will ride. Not played this one much, respin put it on top 10 list. Despite some social media drama Nathan is marvelous singer an on this album he finally get some fine hard rock songs to sing. Tier 3 Cruzh - Tropical Thunder : I instantly liked song We go together but didnt liked or listened the rest of album much. Before making the list I relistened and liked the rest of these 80s style cheesy songs enough to put it here Save the world - Two Quite unknown band for me, but I liked the songs, classic rock, Boston etc style. Nestor - Kids in a ghost town Very popular everywhere. I didnt like much singles, It was vocals in Tomorrow that showed how great the singer is and the slower and mid tempo songs are the best on this one for me. Vega - Anarchy and unity Propably most played albom of the year for me. I liked it a lot but after some months I like it much less. Wig Wam - We will never die There are many other albums that could take this place, but this is more probably most hard rock style of top 10. Albums outside of top10: Jeff Scott Soto Duets Collection Heartland Crowne Joseph Williams JAson Bieler Robim McAuley Robin Red Night Ranger Resist & Bite Robbie Leblanc
  8. yes he did. I like the music, but the vocald and vocal melodies(he wrote most of them) are much different than in Tesla and more time is needed to appreciate them.
  9. It is now officialy also released also on youtube. The production sounds excellent, the reviews are great. But after 2 listens I am not convinced from the melody or vocals. I prefered Slamer much more with Seventh key or Terry Brock.. I hope it is a grower
  10. They didnt change their sound that much. Style of songs is quite similar to their debut, and also the great voice of mr.Bowes sounds as fine as ever. Now compare that to some of thrir peers from 1990. And they are one of the rare bands of this genre in Europe, that coul fill some arenas , at least in the UK.
  11. No comments about new Thunder ? After first few listens very good, maybe close to Wonder days. And apparently it is in close fight in sales for #1 at general album charts!
  12. I first listened to BOn Jovi with Slippery and liked many albums till Richie left.. I tried to like first 2 but no.
  13. Just streamed a few songs form new album and is sound to me their best. Finally some better songs, and I like that singer is showing different shades of his voice.
  14. For some reason I never could get into bands with Säfsund: Work of Art, Lionville. I tried to listen to some songs but it does nothing for me. But I am not against keyboard AOR, I love Toto and Joseph Williams solo stuff. I am aware of Grand Illusion, not a big fan but I listened to full albums. So after few listens to this project I will return to it, I like it better than Säfsund other bands.
