Cranking the new album today....initial impression is great stuff!

For me, the first 6 songs are all instantly pretty awesome.  Then for my tastes it dips a little with If you Want Peace and Slavedriver.  Not terrible tunes but both pretty heavy, driving tunes and not really catchy songs with a chorus that grabs you.  These are the kinds of Pretty Maids tunes that often just don't seem to do too much for me....Kinda like Sickening and Civilized Monsters on the last album.   I think I like these tunes better than the two I mentioned though.

It bounces back with Shadowlands though and finishes strong.

Need more listens to really digest but overall sounding excellent to me and is every bit as good as I was hoping it would be  

 

Both great tracks, killer lp overall after the last mediocre one. It took me 2 listens to order it (and yet I didn't hear the new WoA, I thought, let's listen first to PM, probably not a great one, blah blah, blah, but here I'am blasting my  Jamo speakers to Pappy Atkins' sounds and his mighty gang! (I only loathe the meaningless intro)

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge letdown 

Matey, needed some better vocals ( I can live with it, no problem) but still wipes the floor with almost everything released by FRR this year. 

Silence is deafening here...

10+ great albums: Katatonia, Fates Warning, Dream Theater, Pretty Maids, Helloween, Rage, Yngwie

6 - 9 great albums: Candlemass, Danger Danger, Death, Genesis, Harem Scarem, Ozzy, Leprous,  Pain Of Salvation, Riot, Saint Vitus,  Savatage, Solitude Aeturnus,  The Lord Weird Slough Feg,  Voivod.

 

Will revisit and edit this quite often.

Christian ones only?

2. Holy Soldier     -    Last Train

3. Holy Soldier     -    Holy Soldier

 

5. The Brave     -    Battle Cries

 

 Quality  quantity post there! Btw, I'm still crying because my favorite sacred warrior is getting the vinyl treatment and I've got no more kidneys to sell (pricey initial asking price + that US shipping cost)...

Good album that hasn't been mentioned yet but should; Bloodgood - 'All stand together.'

And one of Jesus' servants was in my ear tonight and reminded me of Nouveax's debut. Those two would be close to 11 & 12 on my list.  

 

Yeah, still my 2nd favorite from them, after Detonation (not for your alley). 

 Just a starter pack

As long as Frontiers had no hand in the production of the album, I think we're OK. 

Can't complain, lol, with the money I saved from all those frontiers releases I got me the latest HCSS test pressings, vinyl reissues etc! 

So long Bloody Heels! 

Frontiers+ Progressive Metal = worst combo ever! 

Erik Scott is no more...

 

Favorite track from a top 11 lp

 

 

 

Their 1st album I won't get 

 

 

 

Another day passed and still Gathering Of The Kings is my favorite lp of the year (I hate though their crappy pseudo label)...

in no order

crazy lixx

first signal

Defiants

 

losing hope for Eclipse....sounds boring. high hopes for Work of Art and Degreed- possibly Pretty Maids too. 

might be able to drag together a decent top 10 by year end 

 

 

Bro, still waiting to hear from Nick that he got copies of the Japanese version of that Nitrate opus, goddammit! Also you nailed my initial observations of the new Eclipse. Frontiers, please stop bullying Erik! (You know that he also has to sell some studio time!)

With the new lp out silence is deafening here...

 

 

 

Great opus, although the title is destined to remind me forever my 2nd favorite (or 3rd depending on the algorithm) Europe tune!

first 2 albums are great imo, esp the debut.

I don't think they'll ever re record those songs out of respect to Kenny

Feel It Again demo or final version on cd?

This album sucks. Not a single keeper. The best song is the acoustic closer.

Dreadful.
