Fair point. I do think ADV is overexposed and that always runs the risk of backlash. Also I think the majority of "hate" to ADV is just meme-like good fun / taking the piss. It is one of those arguments where everyone is right and everyone is also wrong. Me, I will keep buying Frontiers and I will also groan and take the piss when I see ADV is involved.

I guess I am a Sweet die-hard, but even wearing that title proudly I am hesitant about thus one. Might leave it until I see it going cheap.

Damn I saw that album relatively cheap but passed over it as based on it being on Nuclear Blast and the album cover image I thought it would be all cookie monster or metalcore shit. It's not bad at all.

Have you tried using Shazam?

That hurts the artist as much as the label. I get being mad at a label but I am not mad at the artists who are just trying to make a living in a tough marketplace these days.

Stock Aitken & Waterman were the famous music producers/writers in Britain during the 80s & 90s who foisted manufactured pop onto us all by the bucketload. Made stars out of people like Kylie Minouge and Jason Donovan. About 90% of their stuff was throwaway and sounded very similar. A bit like ADV and Frontiers. I understand the comparison EnJayKay was making.

Not your typical covers and show a thorough appreciation for the genre.

From: Geoff Date: February 10, 2010 at 20:14 YUCK! YUUUUCCCKKK!!! Sorry guys, just hated this. I got this and the debut at the same time and I have to admit I thought the debut was pretty decent. A lot of fillers, but some good tracks too. This, however, I just thought was horrible. I'll admit I didn't give it more than a couple of spins, but that's two more than it deserved. Boring, hookless AOR, imo. A more obscure band but had to resurrect this thread after reading the review. Needless to say I let this cheap CD go to the keeper after reading this.

It is hard isn't it? It is a fine line to tread as a fan and a serious reviewer. Like the Sleaze Roxx guy, he also hates bagging out bands. I understand it tbh.

If it is near the first 2 albums then it is definitely worth having on my radar. Thanks for the heads up.

It's not gonna be good is it.

Roadstar - Grand Hotel (Japan) Treat - Scratch & Bite (HR/HM Reissue) Whitesnake - Saints & Sinners (Remaster) Richard Wright - Wet Dream (Remaster) Lana Del Rel - Born to Die (Deluxe) Various - Rockart: the History of Rooart Records

Lions Pride seem like a decent label releasing good stuff.

Nitrate - Feel the Heat (Japan) Zan Clan - We are Zan Clan, Who the F*** are You? Wildside - Formerly Known as Young Gunns Angel - Once Upon a Time Urge Overkill - Saturation Urge Overkill - Exit the Dragon

I dunno man, I'm on team Chez. Probably cause of her behind.

Why hot!

Rarer catalogue albums from popular artists can fetch a pretty penny on eBay. You know a big artist who had an album that sold poorly so there aren't many copies about. Now those albums can be worth quite a bit. Anything Australian from the 80s sells quite a lot locally. Bands like Uncanny X Men, Painters and Dockers, Models. That second and third tier acts that maybe didn't press many cds. I have seen a Brian Mannix cd go for over $3000 on ebay.

Someone must have hated the Casanovas album something fierce! 😄

Goes without saying 😀
