As I go through my collection I will probably set up a bunch of random band threads, but these guys, imo, definitely deserve a thread of their own. The choice is easy for me - 'Tears and Triumph' by a landslide, but I do like both albums.

 

'Tears and Triumph' was one of those fairytale Cash Converters for $5 finds for me, and to this day it remains a highly regarded disc... completely filler-free until perhaps the last song which is a bit of a filler. 'Daily battle', on the other hand, was a huge disappointment after I eagerly snagged it in a trade long ago. 'Over and done' is as good a song as they ever did, but the rest didn't really do much for me. Not a bad disc, I guess it just had a lot to live up to...

 

What's your pick? Thoughts on the band?

I have to disagree...I love 1st Avenue and both of their albums but for me Daily Battle is the stronger album. Maybe it's because I heard Daily Battle long before I ever heard Tears And Triumph?

 

From Tears And Triumph my fav tracks are:

 

Heaven In Your Arms

Once In A Million years

Hurt Before

 

From Daily Battle my picks are:

 

Feel Love

Over and Done

Maybe Tomorrow Never Comes

Time After Time

Can't Take My Heart Away

Call Me

I voted for "Tears and Triumph" too (love the keyboard intro), & was also kinda disappointed in "Daily Battle". Though I prefer fellow Dutchmen Zinatra to this band....

Voted "Tears And Triumph" since I only have that one. I'll have to give it another listen real soon; actually, why not today; it was alright but didn't blow me away the first 2 times I heard it and I was looking forward to hearing it since it was praised on the main site.

Just giving you a hard time bro...but I would even listen to Judas Priest before I'd ever play this band again...

These guys are fine. Surprised you hate them so much if you like Treat. 'Tears and Triumph' is excellent.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
