Don't like how they present themselves, but the songs are good.

New EP. These guys are always pretty solid. Opening track is very good especially, though very familiar and I'm wondering if it's been released before... maybe as a single at some point? Yep, just checked, I had heard the single two months ago, apparently. Good song. TROPO 1 . Heaven 2 . Better Before 3 . BLOODRUSH 4 . Paradise

I don't dislike the album, but man, it is very safe. Nothing on here really stands out, bar maybe the title track. Nice hook, but overall they played it way too safe for me.

Haha, how'd I miss the lord's mouthpeice entering the frame and abusing his fellow christians for not being christian enough. That looked like a riot. I wonder where I was. Anyway, the band that this thread is for released a new album. Probably not quite on par with some of their releases from "recent' years, but these guys are always good. Reflection 1 . Echoes 2 . Reflection 3 . Hourglass 4 . In The Dark 5 . Awaken Me 6 . Anymore 7 . Buried 8 . Let The War Begin 9 . The End of Time 10 . Moments 11 . Never Look Away 12 . Future 13 . Sleeper 14 . Be There

lol. Jeez I've sung this band's praises in the past! Anyway, new year (or two), new album. They're still the same band they were from day one but I guess the lyrics aren't that bad this time around as I didn't really even notice them separately, to be honest. So nothing scathing this time 'round, just letting y'all know that if interested, they released a new album. I think it's okay, but no keepers. Fractured Paradise 1 . Yours Truly 2 . Chemical Burn 3 Surviving The Wasteland 4 . A Bullet Meant For Me 5 . Blistering Memories 6 . Feasting On Vultures 7 . Lizards Of Malice 8 . My Novocain 9 . Rehearsing Tragedies 10 . Fractured Paradise

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.

I have so far picked up four releases this year, and started as early as Feb. Last year the first albums I bought were not until March. As I have said before, I am seriously behind on album pick ups from the last four years due to health issues, so it really does not bother me that new albums are not pouring out like water as it gives me a chance to play catch up. Plus I also know I have several other albums coming out this year with Sebastian Bach, Rolling Quartz and The Warning all confirmed for new releases. Four new albums and eight catch up albums so far this year has in my mind been great as it's allowed me to devote more time to new purchases rather than giving them one spin and then move onto something else. If anyone really thinks this year is the year music has died, well quite frankly that is on you, not the bands and the music. -

Couldnt agree more with this probably being the "heaviest" song on the album And yeah I agree, Jon may be a bit of a ruthless business man when it comes to the band, but he is a decent bloke. The amount of work he has done for the homeless is admirable. I know his voice is shot and he is having some kind of throat surgery that he says may end his touring career but I don't think that is really an excuse why his music has been so mid the last decade or so. As for Richie, I would love to see him back in the band but I don't think he would fix anything. I mean Phil is a great guitarist, and he is being wasted in the band and Richie has barely put anything out since leaving the band, with the only thing I can think of being that awful RSO album he did with Orianthi, where two fantastic guitarists seemed to almost give up on actually playing guitar. His last solo album was twelve years ago when he was still in the band, and even that was a let down with only a few stand out tracks on it. Plus his history with alcohol has done him no favours.
