  1. Kind of a boring song in my opinion. Nothing they've done since they reunited has really moved me, a few great songs on each album but a lot of plodding, bluesy stuff as well that I just can't get into. I'll listen to anything Overland sings at least once though!
  2. idk guys, I think you can only polish a turd so much. It's definitely a great attempt and as whiplash1972 says, there have been a lot of such projects since, what, 2007ish? But IMO St. Anger has never been a bad album only because of the snare drum, or the lack of guitar solos, or the long songs. It's a bad album because it's an album full of bad songs. Metallica is supposed to be badass! This is not that! Listen to Invisible Kid or Purify and tell me what's even a little cool about those songs. The whole thing is just so whiny and cringey, definitely a product of its era which was the worst for metal as a genre.
  3. Look into Magic Dance and LeBrock too, those are a couple of great projects that blend synthwave and AOR.
  4. The song is OK. Extremely typical Martensson riff and production but it's better than most of Megalomanium. All the bots in the video comments are loving it though!
  5. Not even a year after the last one? Sad to say I'm not very optimistic...
  6. https://www.loudersound.com/features/best-scandinavian-aor-albums Europe – The Final Countdown (1986) Fate – A Matter Of Attitude (1986) TNT – Tell No Tales (1987) Alien – Alien (1988) Stage Dolls – Stage Dolls (1988) Talisman – Talisman (1990) Pretty Maids – Jump The Gun (1990) Work Of Art – Work Of Art (2008) Treat – Coup De Grace (2010) H.e.a.t - H.e.a.t II (2020) What do we think? They have the wrong TNT album IMO (Intuition!) but otherwise pretty solid. Also nice to see some more modern albums getting some love.
  7. Interesting that they call it an AOR album...I wonder if that was intentional seeing as how their last one was closer to hard rock and IMO not up to par with their better works. Uninspiring production and Jidhed's voice sounded a little weak... Eternity on the other hand was awesome, but geez, that was already 10 years ago. Do they still have enough left in the tank?
  8. Not many details other than "it sounds great" (phew!) but has been submitted to Frontiers so we'll probably get a sample in the coming weeks. https://www.facebook.com/LIONVILLEofficial/posts/pfbid085BFQtZqdGgBHjWvhDfPsrUfdvMKqC3MN9ftGD6Zk48ZRcTNbLrj67KzNo9c2jYul
  9. They have a real knack for writing (and producing!) songs that could be featured in '80s coming of age films and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Really putting the retro in retrowave
  10. Does anyone have some recommendations on where to start with this band? It seems like every album I try listening to has some good songs but also a lot of filler...
  11. Great band and they've been on fire since they got this vocalist but that's not a great choice for a single IMO. It just kind of meanders along.
  12. You've got the poooower ooooover meeeeeee...
  13. Great musicianship weighed down by standard del Vecchio cliches. The funny part about this being a lyric video is that it highlights how dumb the lyrics are. Also, why are the backing vocals so loud?
