This kicked my arse this morning. Some delicious straight up hard rock.

Can't listen at work, but looking forward to checking 'em out when I get home. I always enjoy a good ass-kicking, musically-speaking. It'll have a hard time topping the last 18 Visions CD though...that puppy is phenomenal.

OK, just checked this out and am liking what I'm hearing. Down 'n' dirty, gritty hard rock in the vein of Buckcherry/GNR but with some really cool choruses (as Lennie mentioned, track three is a corker). I will definitely grab a copy when it gets released on 3/10/09.

 

Thanks for the heads up, my good man! :dance:

I really enjoyed the last 18 Visions CD, espcially 'Broken hearted' which is one of my fav songs ever. As for Burn Halo they have an awesome hard rock sound and should appeal to many here.

This is good stuff and has made it to my 'buy list'.....but I've got to ask who is '18 Visions'..??

All you need to know about Eighteen Visions is their last CD, the s/t one from I think it was 2006. Utterly essential slab of modern melodic hard rock.

 

Oh, and can't wait to hear this one. I thought he was doing a solo disc? Oh well, either way I can't wait.

:agree: This is a pretty rocking release. Haven't heard it for a while, gotta dig it out again...

I'm liking the single "Dirty Little Girl". Based on the other couple of songs it's still too early to tell whether the whole album's a keeper or not though. Here's hoping!

This sounds pretty cool, I'm definitely picking this up. I wouldn't normally have bothered as I truly disliked 18 VISIONS with a passion, they were soulless modern rock IMO (the only good thing to come out of that band was that they broke up and then BLEEDING THROUGH got formed), but this sounds more interesting...

First spin detailed impressions:

 

01. Dirty Little Girl (feat. AVENGED SEVENFOLD's Synyster Gates) ; good solid hard rock opener.

02. Save Me ; another one like the opener - solid modern hard rock in the style of the last disc from 18visions.

03. Here With Me ; Beautiful melodic rocker which draws heavily on the more melodic side of 18Visions again.

04. To Late To Tell You Now ; album highlight so far. Superb mid-tempo / ballad melodic gem. Again, like the better songs off the last 18Visions disc.

05. So Addicted ; pretty average hard rock track. Not the best.

06. Dead End Roads & Lost Highways ; another solid but not amazing hard rocker.

07. Saloon Song ; and back to a delicious melodic rocker with a wonderful chorus. Love it.

08. Our House ; decent but again pretty average hard rock. Not bad.

09. Fallin Faster ; and time for another gem. Delicious ballad with another big chorus. Probably the weakest of the more melodic songs so far, but good anyway.

10. Anejo (feat. AVENGED SEVENFOLD's Synyster Gates) ; well hello. This is nice. Killer hard rock riff - sounds like something off a Crue album or the like - killer hard rock track with a pretty cool chorus and a great solo. Nice, nice stuff.

11. Back To The Start ; Excellent ballad. Beautiful pre-chorus/chorus. A highlight of the disc.

12. Gasoline ; Oh man, what a closer. Killer 80's hard rock style riff to start off with, killer verses, another nice guitar solo and a real highlight of the album to finish up. Reminds me of vintage Gunners. Marvelous!!!

 

In conclusion, if you loved the last 18Visions disc this is what you'd expect to naturally follow afterwards. It's not as heavy and there's no more screams, but this is just a good solid hard rock album just like what 18Visions were always going to ending up doing. Like that last disc, there is a division between hard rockers and melodic/mid-tempo numbers. The split wasn't 50/50 before, but it is now. Nice. Well worth checking out.

Bump. The cd was finally released today after being delayed for a couple of weeks. Picked my copy up today at Best Buy for $9.99. Not a bad price at all. And the verdict, very good straight ahead guitar driven hard rock. Influences seem to range from Hinder to Buckcherry to Motley Crue to 18 Visions and even a little G'N'R. All in all it was a nice breath of fresh air from all the canned pop shit that cotinues to plague the airwaves. Out of 12 tracks I only found two to be what I would call fillers. Definitely recommended. It was a nice mix of ballads and rockers. Too many good tracks to call out any favorites yet.

Okay, I have to check, mate. Do we have the same track list? Are 'Back To The Start' and 'Gasoline' the last two on your disc? If so, WOW. They were two of my favourite songs on this thing...

Yes, 'Back to the start' and 'Gasoline' are the last two tracks on my disc as well. The two fillers for me I was referring to are "Save Me" (I like the verses better than the chorus on this one) and "Gasoline". I do like the track "Back to the start". I've spun the disc again and I'm finding my favs so far to be "Dirty Little Girl", "Anejo", and "Saloon". I guess no one else has picked up this little gem yet.

Cool. Yeah, 'Save me' wasn't one of my faves either. I think there are a couple of fillers, but I love that riff on 'Gasoline'. :)

So you guys have all gone mad. I got this thing sent to me free and it's just crap - fucking awful vocals (he sounds like a ringer for that muppet from HINDER), stripped-down sound, no real hooks, and some very very formulaic hard rock. It's like a mix of Nickleback/Tesla/Hinder etc etc... None of which I like one little bit. This is Modern Rock without the melody or hooks. So I didn't like 18 VISIONS either, but it was better than this!

 

ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

 

P.s. Like HINDER, I'm up for a fight on this one as it's pure SHITE.

This cd kicks ass! There are a few fillers but for the most part, this is a fine slab of sleazy hard rock. Thumbs up. Still hasn't knocked the Johnny Lima "Livin' Out Loud" disc out of my player yet. But it will definitely get a bunch of spins at work next week. That first tune "Dirty Little Girl" sounds soooooo damn much like Buckcherry. Anybody else here Buckcherry in that song?

I agree! This is a pretty good little disc! Nice modern hard rock.

I still think it's solid. Yeah, there are enough fillers on it but the melodic moments are pretty good. I must say, I put a bunch of songs on my Ipod and when a couple have spun recently I have found myself thinking, maybe that doesn't deserve a position here. Still, I dig this enough. :)

I played this yesterday for the first time and I have to say I'm a little impressed.

I hear a mix of Buckcherry with maybe a little Nickelback in places. Good stuff.

You're such a modern rocker. Have you heard Papa Roach's 'Metamorphosis'? Blows this one out of the water, imo.

I have heard that one and yeah it's pretty good.

Much better than that crappy rap metal they did on their first couple of releases.

Backed. You should check out their 'The Paramour Sessions' disc too, which is even better than the awesome newie. :)

    • 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...
