Best of 2008... So Far.....

[Geoff]

Has anyone heard Sixty 8 - before the fall? Whats it like?

 

It sounds like an album I've never heard before.

 

Helpful.

 

Yes I am. If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask.

 

 

I guess this is the band you're talking about:

Where'd you come up with this one, Matt? They sound awful. Just really bad nu-metal... can't see you liking this one at all!

melodic.net said theyre aor...?

 

 

They definitley don't sound like a 'Nu Metal' band to my ears, more of the typical 80's metal sound to be honest. I hear quite alot of Maiden influence in some of the tracks, 'Shadow' especially has that definite Maiden feel to it. Saying that, it ain't that great either and there is much better stuff similar to this to spend your time on.

Really? I won't bother listening again but it sounded deeply modern to me. Oh well, either way they're sure as hell not anything to do with AOR.

Ive had another tinker with my modern list following some listening this week -

 

HH Artists

 

1. Journey - Revelation

2. Work Of Art - Artwork

3. Jeff Scott Soto - Beautiful Mess

4. H.E.A.T. - s/t

5. Whitesnake - Good To Be Bad

6. Brother Firetribe - Heart Full Of Fire

7. Marcello/Vestry - s/t

8. Harem Scarem - Hope

9. Tesla - Forevermore

10. Khymera - Greatest Wonder

 

Modern

 

1. Story Of The Year - The Black Swan (inc bonus tracks)

2. Hinder - Take It To The Limit (inc bonus tracks)

3. Simple Plan - s/t

(I think Cook will miss out - it's good but not so that it should displace any of the current top 10 modern).

Yeah, the Kessler one's a sneaky one. Great disc. Just out of curiosity, did you like the Forever The Sickest Kids disc?

Would that be 'Animal Instinct' young man? I got it a month or so back and was very pleasantly surprised after the last couple of discs.

 

Great album.

Indeed! They sound alot better bandwise and the cat singing Jacopo Meille was a BIG improvement on vox. Heard something about John Sykes possibly doing a couple tunes with 'em at a festival soon..

Yep - I got a message this morning saying the same and how Sykes still rated 'Spellbound' quite highly after he heard it again. That would be cool to see.

Not heard 'Forever The Sickest Kids'

Not sure if you'd like them. I'd be pretty surprised if you didn't. You should check 'em out.
