Holy crap! DISAPPOINTED! :angry:

Can somebody please tell me if this CD is worth having? Is it any good? The reviews on the main page praises it but this one eluded me. I bought it but got a refund....well read the message I got below:

Freaking Royal Mail. What did you do, Jez? Jumped on it? ;)

Maybe the seller got an better offer and left me in the cold?

Actually there's a copy right now on Egay for Buy It Now $4.99 but the seller only ships within' the US :crying:

Maybe someone can buy it for me? :unsure:

I own it. I don't remember much about it other than being a little let down upon first listen. It did seem to get better after a few plays but still never really jumped out as something that really moved me. The songs were good but didn't quite take it to the next level. But it has been forever since I've played it so now I'll have to get it out again and refresh my memory.

Hmm - £12.99 saved I think. As everyone has said, it is ok, but not that great.

 

Seriously - The return excuse is a bit of a poor one mate.

 

I always treat everyone's cd's with the utmost respect when they come into the office, then I add them to my collection! Except Geoff's of course which I just pour with gasoline, burn, frisbee around the office, then give them out to all the little local emo children!!!! :D

I'll agree with everyone before me. Listenable for sure, but not stellar.

Good but not great. Which is what Pete said. But I said it better.

I pait this one with Hotshot, if you heard that one, good but not classic with a lower production

Just my opinion but I think Hotshot crushes Blind Date.

My opinion is exactly the opposite--Blind Date is much better than Hotshot. I jettisoned Hotshot right after I got it, but Blind Date remains in my collection.

that is close but I would rate Blind Date a bit higher

I gave this a listen the other day and took it out somewhere around track seven. It made me think of Firehouse - Category 5 for some reason.

Am I in a parallel universe? What the f*ck am I reading here? Obviously I'm alone with this opinion, so as usual take no notice, but I think this CD is f*cking amazing! One of the best I've heard in a lot of years and IMO by far the highlight of 2004.

 

Does everyone else's copy have 'Don't wait up', 'She's walking' :wub: , and 'When I'm alone' on it? :lol: These three songs, amongst others, are flawless. I acknowledge that 'Can You Feel It' and 'Everybody's baby' are not the best songs, but the other 8 are wonderful. Man, I think this is a truly essential addition to any 80's hard rock fan's collection.

 

Oh, and I like it better than Hotshot too, which I also love.

Right Ive taken a listen to this and Im pretty much with everyone else on this one - pretty good straight up melodic hard rock, but nothing special.

 

Geoff - sometimes I do think you are in a parallel universe. I mean, I know you wont agree with me in that Threshold - Subsurface, Pride Of Lions - Destiny Stone, PC69 - Thunderdome and Soul SirkUS all kill this album in 2004.......................BUT..............

 

.........even you cant say that this is better that JSS - Lost In The Translation or Pete Lesperance - Down In It from the same year???? Surely????

 

Give me a sign that you are still alive in there boy??

 

:tumbsup:

Easily better then them all, imo. Especially those first ones you mention, but I even prefer it to Lesperance and JSS too - both excellent albums, but Blind Date is more excellent, imo. :)

    • 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. ;}
    • Your Eyes - Darkstone (2024) Two versions of my song number 6     https://suno.com/song/e8c1e85b-21ee-4d35-a64b-e786f00944d2   https://suno.com/song/9144c77a-bd7c-49c1-9508-f724d0832fdb
    • 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...
