Easy way to fulfill contract obligations
-
You know, I'd much rather have a Peterik/Scherer follow-up than this. I don't know how different the songwriting would be but this formula of Hitchcock signing operatically over plodding soft rock instrumentation has gotten very old very quickly, IMO.
-
Not during the verse. It's either a "dirty" tone that's extremely low in the mix orrrrrrr just a show for the video lol Regardless, good song
-
Good god that fucking rips. IMO their best album since The Electric Age, I can't believe how great they still sound. Definitely gonna make a few album of the year lists in the metal community.
-
A lot of contemporary melodic rock/AOR bands try to capture the vibe of the '80s with themes of young love and love lost, summer, night drives through the city, etc. Nobody does it like this band. The passion is still there for these dudes, it's clear as day.

Single from the upcoming The Midni- err I mean Costal album.
-
That's ADV by the numbers. Joey has a really nice voice though, I hope they feature him on more stuff in the future.
-
I agree with you, the debut is more consistent from start to finish. Zokusho hits the same highs but also has a couple songs that are skips for me, can't say the same about the debut.

1. Creye - III 2. ??? Expecting The Defiants to be awesome and Vega should be good too, but other than that not much I've heard has stood out. Unless, of course, you count EPs, in which case LeBrock knocked it out of the park once again...
-
Well, it's definitely a Jim Peterik song. It doesn't do much for me, though.
-
lol, it's cheesy but I think they've got a good sense of humor about things. They were poking fun at themselves on the previous two album covers as well. The song is great, as expected. Good choice for a single. Laine sounds amazing and the riff rocks hard.

So I was listening to this album... And I realized that I like pretty much everything Mike Slamer is credited with producing. Dennis Ward is another obvious choice for me. How about you?

Some of my favorites
-
I was listening to Chemistry on my drive to work this morning and what do I see when I open YouTube? It's part of a new EP, hell yeah! They don't miss.

The Runaway Wild - The Runaway Wild (2023) (Magic Dance)
Eric3 replied to Tabe's topic in AOR and Hard Rock
That's a good point. I know he has been leaning further and further into AOR territory since signing there but I still prefer his earlier synthwave work. It would be nice to keep the cheesy horror themes under a different moniker. -
New Kiile. One of the best producers in the genre right now IMO.
-
Apparently this song was written by Anders Wikström of Treat.
-
I actually really dig that. '80s vibe for sure.

Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Metal Songs of All Time
Eric3 replied to auslander's topic in Music Polls and "Best of" Lists
Death, Rush, Carcass, and Helloween should have been on there. I know this is basically just a list of most popular metal songs that happen to also have a music video but c'mon, that's writing out a major chunk of the genre's history. Also, my days of arguing over what is metal and what is not are long behind me, but Evanescence??? Might as well include Linkin Park, Disturbed, and Nickelback, too... -
The first song sounded like HoL until the guy started singing - great pipes but obviously not at all similar to James Christian. The second song is ADV by the numbers and I'm guessing was written long before this project was conceived. Probably gonna pass on this one.
-
I am whelmed. Not overwhelmed. Not underwhelmed. Just whelmed. The instrumental section is awesome but the rest of the song seems very ADV-ish. It doesn't sound much like Mecca's previous material aside from the lead vocals.
-
I can't tell if this is satire or not.
-
What do you mean, what do I mean? It's a great song lol.
