it's March ffs
most of what will be released in the first half of the year has been announced, so hopefully the second half of the year will yield some unexpected gold. I can't imagine you think the new Bon Jovi album in June is gonna save the year for anybody.

Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
I didn't care for Saxon but that Durbin album was better than I was expecting some good tracks on there Power Of The Reaper, Where They Stand, Tear Them Down and The Worshipper 1897.

I don't care for Fall To Pieces but I do like the harpsichord.

It's odd; it is really noticeable, the lack of new releases from artists generally featured on this site. But the let up is nowhere else, and there's plenty of strong modern rock albums being released this year so far. I assume it'll catch up, but not sure. We'll see, I guess.
can you name me one to check out, thanks.

Don't get all these posts, god forbid you go 2 months without a release. Most people on the site have about 3000 cds, I'm sure you can find something to listen to 😉
I listen to music 30-35 hours a week and still don't have enough time; so yea there is a lot to listen to, but will my nearly 40 year streak of having a top 10 come to and end? Probably will be able to come with 10 releases by years end but it's looking like the weakest year to date. 2025 is already shaping up to be loaded though.

I like this one as well, shaping up to be a good album indeed.

First six seconds were awesome... steady downhill from there.
LOL, it's funny cause it's true. song is fuckin' awful.

yea, i knew why they got lumped together as grunge because of their clothes and where they came from, just always thought it was weird as they have nothing in common musically speaking.

"a shadow of themselves" is not preferring one over another singer, it is stating that the band is nothing like itself even though the band was around before your favourite singer was even in the band. That is why it is a ridiculous comment. Shouldn't be hard even for you to understand, Tobi.
well if one feels Erik raised the quality significantly, then the band is indeed a shadow of their former selves once he leaves. whether or not one thinks Erik raised the quality significantly is again up to the individual. mmmbop.
A SHADOW OF YOUR FORMER SELF definition: someone or something that is not as strong, powerful, or useful as it once was:

lol. That's the only thing that's awful? You hate everything anyone ever posts in this site, but all you dislike about this is the vocals? What about the rest of it?
I hate the vocals too, but not sure they're standing head and shoulders above everything else that is horrendous about that song.
the vocals were so bad I couldn't really focus on any other part of the song or listen it to long enough to see what it was all about. Chris Cornell very good vocals, Kurt Cobain bad vocals, Eddie Vedder even worse vocals. I've seen these three bands often get lumped together but they are nothing alike.
this is how you fuckin' do it.

There are some Erik fanboys on here that worship him like crazy. Heat were around before Erik and after Erik. To say they are a shadow of themselves with Kenny is plainly ridiculous.
that's a weird comment to make unless you can't accept a differing opinion on the matter. I don't see why it is ridiculous to much prefer Erik to Kenny, myself. It's all personal preference in the end.

found a potential 4th album for 2024.
Illumishade - Another Side Of You available now.

It's all subjective and 2024 looks dire to me, but 2025 will be much better I'm sure of it.
-
I gave up halfway through track 5, I couldn't take it anymore. This bland ADV assembly line stuff needs to stop, today.

But personally I'm happy with 10-15 awesome new releases 🤷
Prior to this year I would agree, and hopefully the second half of the year delivers.
And for the record every Tremonti album is completely immense imo. Killer songs, vocals, solos.
I've tried a few times in the past but it bores me to tears ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

As of Valentines day 2024 it is looking like the music has indeed died.
Misses so far for me this year:
Striker – Ultrapower (vocals are weak as are the songs, Live To Fight Another Day was the only passable song.)
Russell – Guns – Medusa (album is not terrible it’s just kinda blah, I’m guessing having ADV as a writer and producer would be the reason why.)
Grand – Second To None (Achille’s Heel is a good song, there are a few other ok songs with the rest being a pass.)
Gotus – Gotus (Gotthard fell off a cliff after Steve Lee’s death, and this sounds like a post Steve Lee album, also the singer reminds me of ronnie romero whose vocals I do not like)
Saxon – Hell, Fire And Damnation (Madame Guillotine is alright, the rest bores me to tears.)
Notorious – Marching On (wasn’t terrible but no real interest in hearing it a second time)
LA Guns – The Dark Horse (wasn’t terrible but no real interest in hearing it a second time)
The Gems – Phoenix (I don’t mind it but it’s nothing I’d go back to regularly)
Metalite – Expedition One (I don’t mind it but it’s nothing I’d go back to regularly, poor man’s Amaranthe)
Lucifer – Lucifer V (it’s decent but nothing top 10 worthy)
The Priest singles are decent.
not really caring for The Mars singles, singer doesn’t work for me, wish it was Corabi.
The Dickinson singles are kinda meh, no Zulu Lulu that’s for sure.
Ace Frehley can’t sing so that’s not an option.
Never cared for Accept .
I tried that Blackberry Smoke but couldn’t get through the full song, she gawn country.
Tremonti is too modern sounding for my tastes.
Vain I will check out but never cared that No Respect album I’ve seen people gush over.
Jon has completely lost the plot so the new Jovi will be coma inducing.
Stryper will be good musically speaking, I struggle with the vocals.
Bach’s latest single is good so that could be a fourth album added to the list; but haven’t heard any official announcement on if an album will happen this year.

vocals are Awful.

yea, 2024 looks like it's gonna blow, not sure I'll even be able to make a top 10 list for the first time ever. I think some of my fav bands will have something in 2025 though. Hopefully Beast In Black, Battle Beast, NFO, The Pretty Reckless and Harem Scarem for starters.
I like Hooked, Psycho City, Hollywood Vampires and Vicious Circle but that Russell/Guns album does nothing for me; same with that Striker album that every one is gushing over, and Revolution Saints is just more assembly line crap from Frontiers.
Amaranthe in a couple weeks, then W.E.T later in the year and that's about it, hopefully more stuff gets announced as the year goes on.

I didn't really care for Arjen's last few albums but this sounds good, liking the vocals in particular. Apparently these songs are revisited from the early '90s.
2024 The year the music died?

ah yea, that blind channel is awful lol, it sounded more emo than modern rock to me. For modern rock I was thinking more along of the lines of say Shinedown or Skillet.
