J.S.M

So sad it's incurable... he's a great singer and I loved all the recent Pretty maids albums and his singing in Avantasia.

World foregone and particle are great songs, most of the snippets here sound pretty cool, too. I'm new to the band but I think I'm gonna buy this album

😂😂😂 Seriously, the cover art is great, the sound is promising but except for nr.9 none of the choruses makes me move. This is the definition of boring songwriting.

Actually I don't know the whole Thunder history. I have a best of album and my band and I use to play "Love walked in" on gigs. I really like that best of, so I listened to some other songs here and there and my reactions are totally mixed - from not my cup of tea to wow. The new song is kind of in the middle. It has the energy from "Dirty love", very cool verse and riff. The chorus is not thar great but I'd say it's a decent song. Curious about the other songs.

I spend the last couple of days listening through the Erik-era. There's one song that always makes me a little bit emotional in a good way. Now that Erik leaves I almost cried during that song because even though it's not a technically difficult song or maybe because of the simplicity, it works for me. Tried to sing along to it but my emotions didn't let me. I'm not really an emotional person, music is more or less the only thing that can do that to me. The song is called "laughing at tomorrow" It's the beautiful voice that transports everything that song wants to say. The lyrics are positive and timeless. For me that's the perfect song and I still remember hearing it for the first time. I don't have that feeling too often and that makes me even more sad that he leaves. Just wanted to say that. Had to come out 😅

Whaaat? For me, Erik is still the new one 😅 With Kenny they had some great songs but Erik brought the energy and the charisma. He was pretty much my favourite AOR/melodic rock vocalist. That makes me really sad. But one thing I noticed: on the last at least 2 albums Erik was always mentioned as a songwriter. On the last album he only co-wrote "one by one". As I preferred the vocal melodies on the previous albums I guess, I liked his influence to the songwriting. Maybe he already knew his decision in the songwriting process of the album... Hope he stays in rock music.

I didn't know that wall street was that unpopular. Wall street, OMG, bleeding daylight, wrong can feel so right & natural high Are typical Wig Wam songs. I just don't like the other songs that much

Always loved the rock anthems they had. This song follows that direction and is a great opener for a reunion. Did anybody actually say that there will be an album? I could imagine that this is only a single because they had some time during corona. Wall street was their worst album but it still had some good moments. This new song sounds as dark and serious as wall street but with the quality of early Wig Wam.

One of my favourite amaranthe albums. I like how it's not only Elize but the three vocalists are equally present. Fearless, Make it better, viral, The game, strong and archangel are great. Crystalline is a pretty good power ballad. Nice melodies, intense rhythms and some powerful growling (usually I hate growling but this growling doesn't sound that evil somehow)

I loved Binary music, still one of my favourite aor albums. I don't get why there are so many negative opinions about it. The sound was great, the songs were melodic, uplifting yet emotional and "love songs" and "queen of the prom" were masterpieces. The new single is great songwriting wise. The sound is a bit strange because the voice sounds thin, the drums don't sound like drums, the kick is too present, yet it doesn't kick enough. The snare is too low and lost sometimes. Other than that, perfect chorus, great song. I listened to some of the Itunes samples and they didn't really convince me. Pretty boring choruses here and there that I'm not used to hear from Michael Palace... have to hear the whole songs maybe

Love that song. There just could be a bit more space between the second and the last chorus. A solo or a bridge would have been great but maybe in the context of the album this song contributes to the variety.

Listened to it a few times now. The singles are still great songs. Battle Ground and Candle in the window are on the same level. I salute you and ticking away both have pretty standard choruses and sound very One-Desire-ish. But more like a One Desire b-side. I think the ballad is pretty weak, at least I don't feel it. Arianne is decent. Not a bad album but last album was a little better for me.

I still really like any of their new songs but my throat hurts everytime I hear their vocalist sing. He has no technique and live his voice doesn't sound that great anymore. On the new songs his voice sounds thin and overall he mostly sings pretty low notes.

Love that song.

Last album was good but often a little too hectic for my taste. Too much going on, too many different parts. Too less room for smooth and great melodies but overall fun to listen to. Today I heard the new song and that went pretty much into the same direction. Then I listened to the Itunes samples and it seems like the first single is one of the weaker songs on the album, for me at least. "Less frills than unsual" is what shines in these samples. That's exactly what makes their music perfect for me. Reminds me of crazy lixx here and there and that's a great thing. Worst Case Scenario Joker Nostalgia Tokyo lights Lucifer's magic These snippets sound like 10/10 for me, these choruses are great.

I wrote a new song. Played, sung and recorded everything myself. It's inspired by the early 80's Kiss and the 80's Alice Cooper. For example, I wanted a melodic bass guitar like in Kiss and an athemic chorus as in the Alice Cooper songs from the 80's. The sound is not perfect as I don't have the equipment needed. The video is unprofessional but I wanted to try out something else istead of showing the cover art the whole video. I'd be happy about any kind of feedback:)

The song is good, the chorus is better than the verse but is it me or does his voice sound a little thinner than on the last album?

I couldn't live without CD's... Maybe I download the single then I can hear it outside to shorten the wait but I need to buy the cd in the end. I need the credits and the lyrics and the artwork. I always connect music to a colour somehow and very often it's a similar colour the covers have. Physically they always look slightly different then digitally. It wouldn't be the same if one day there won't be CD's anymore

Thought about Motley Crue aswell. I listened through the feelgood album but I don't get this party vibe, that I thought they're known for. It felt pretty moody and dark to me. Maybe I just didn't understand the album? I don't know... I never really understood why people like Led Zeppelin, I haven't heard a single LZ song that caught me.

Wake up call, their first album after the stylistic change was still good for me, it had some summer pop rock songs and it was fun, the new album, say nothing, is not really listenable for me, there's absolutely no movement, only depressive vibes and I can't stand that. Savages was my favourite toad album.

What exactly? That I like the style of the song and the chorus?

Presence of mind: Great song, maybe a bit slow an dark as an opener. Paradise of the architect: This is what I missed on Firesign. The chorus is better than any chorus Avantasia has ever released, it's definitely a 10/10 and I only know 1:05 of this song. The black: Sounds even better than the grey, just a fun hard rock song. From sound to silence: Verses are good, I don't really need growls in the second verse, the chorus feels like a failed puzzle but maybe it'll grow. Hologram: I have to wait for the full track, right now it doesn't catch me, I don't like those heavy ballads. Heartless madness: Killer chorus, great beat, the only thing I don't like is the main riff being the chorus-vocal-melody. Waterfall: Again a great beat, I prefer the happy fun Dynazty over the melancholic Dynazty but this track is ok for me. Threading the needle: Strong vocals, great melodies, killer chorus, somehow there's some magic in this song. The man and the elements: I love what the guitarbagpipes do but the vocal melodies are a bit overshadowed by that. Apex: Typical Dynazty song, reminds me of 'Run Amok', growls are not as present as the clean vocals, that's good. I really like that track. The road to redemption: I don't really know where the road is leading me, it teases a highlight in the chorus but there is none, maybe redemption comes in the second half of the song. The dark delight: I'll have to wait for the full song cause there are too many little pieces I can't put together yet. Feels like a very strong album and they found their energy again after losing it on Firesign a bit.

Thank you👍🏼 didn't expect that😅 Edit: WOW!

I was hoping for some Dynazty - the dark delight samples, as it's released via AFM in two weeks😩 I'm so hyped😅😅

I listened to the playstore samples and my first impression was, they wrote the same song 11 times😅 so the first single is pretty representative
