Wow. I thought you guys were being a bit harsh until I decided to give it a listen myself. Sounds like they trying to fill the void left by bands like NKOTB, Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. Someone needs to tell them it's not 1999 anymore.

 

I enjoy the occasional Pop CD as long as it's done right (Hot Chelle Rae, for example). This one is all wrong.

Coincidently I was just thinking the same thing about this band. I picked up Secret last week and while it is far from horrible, it just doesn't come close to Surgery. I really love tracks 3 and 4 and the rest have their moments but the biggest issue for me is it has no balls. I like plenty of sugary pop punk but this one woulda benefited from more crunch.

 

By the sounds of things, their latest takes it a step further still...in the wrong direction. Pass for me.

Haha... it is rough, but definitely an album of 2 halves. I have spun it a few times now and the first half it utter garbage... but all 5 of the last 5 songs have a little bit of worth. I don't mind 'em... but it's still a massive step back. I wonder if I'm the only one who liked 'Can't keep a secret?' :lol: I really like that disc.

I love "You and I Tonight". The rest I don't much listen to anymore.

I think the only song I didn't like was "G-Get Up and Dance!" That 'You and I tonight' is freakin' incredible, though.

 

Doods, I hate to say it but I definitely jumped the gun on my comments on the new CD based only on the first half of the disc. I'm actually enjoying the 2nd half plenty. The 2 ballads are simply excellent, the next 2 are nice pop rockers with cool hooks and the closer is a different but pretty cool song. If they'd just released the last 5 songs as an EP I might not be so agitated by what's happened to them. Don't get me wrong, this is by far their worst disc... but if you have it, skip the first 5 songs and give the last 5 a go.

      Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger

      I like the album art. I love when contemporary Glam Metal bands have album art with a genuine 80s vibe to it.

      Nope, for a while, I used to think Rapunzel from Tangled (2010) was hot... But then I stopped being attracted to cartoon characters.
