Ive just been reading over at melrock noticeboard the number of people slagging this album off as 'Jeff by numbers' 'AOR by numbers' etc etc.

 

Jesus Christ!

 

If our small community of fans cant appreciate a great melodic rock album such as this and get behind the artist, and stop whinging about digipacks (WTF is wrong with some people??!) etc, this scene is well and truly dead

 

Quite depressing really.

Well mate, you'll be glad to know I'm on board with you guys. I played this album through last night and there's no doubt at all that this is a legit contender for album of the year. Man, picking between this, D2 and Steel Panther is going to be hell!!! Played all three back to back and although I'd put D2 at the top spot, I'm just not sure.

 

Anyway, to this album, mate I fully agree with what you said above. IMO, this is JSS's best album to date. I adore the debut Talisman CD and debut Eyes CD the most out of his previous work, but I'm going to go out and say that this might just be better than both.

 

I thought 'Running From The Heartache' is about the best song I've heard this year, with 'One Day At A Time', 'My everything' and 'If I fall' all being almost equally amazing. Those 4 songs are early faves, but I loved most the stuff here. 'Damage Is Done' and 'Just go' are the weakest songs, bordering on filler and 'Put your money where your mouth is' is only saved by a pretty cool chorus, but aside from those three, everything else kicks ass.

 

Has it been mentioned above how awesome the solos are too? Holy shit, there is some seriously awesome shredding on this thing.

 

Anyway, it may not end up being album of they year, but definitely a contender and a top 3 finisher.

If this CD gets album of the year it'll be due to the aftermath of the journey debacle. Just like Arnel & co. his rags to riches story trumps the quality of 'Revelation'. The story will become bigger than the music.

Sorry mate, don't get that all. I actually like 'Revelation' but aside from that I have no time for Journey and couldn't care less about them or what happens concerning them. All that speaks to me is the music. The album I will pick for "album of the year" will be the one with the best songs on it, plain and simply.

Yeah 'Damage Is Done' was the weak link for me initially as well. But i love it now. The other 2 you mention i loved from the off. 'Money.......' just kicks arse and 'Just Go' has an awesome solo which just lifts the song for me.

 

Another song which no-one seems to be mentioning is the opener 'Invincible'....man that is a cool song and i love the way it seemlessly leads straight into 'One Love'.

 

Backed on the solos - killer throughout.

 

This D2, and SP are my top 3 too. Initially I thought i'd jumped in too soon as I listened to SP again and thought nah,WET still aint better than this - but on repeated listens WET just gets better and better. Defo no 1 for me now.

 

Cheers

 

PS Wigwam delayed til Jan 2010 now :-(

 

PPS.....stillnot heard Winger yet but am going to Spotify it tonight :-)

Yep, and I'm a big Journey fan and I have no idea that there is a 'rags to riches' story around Pineda? The only things I know about him are: 1. That Schon found him from a Youtube clip, and 2. That he's a staggeringly good vocalist who's been partly responsible for one of Journey's best albums in donkey's years.

 

Those are the only stories for me.

 

P.s. I NEED to hear this W.E.T album as I need something to save this year (in the AOR/MHR genre) for me....

    • Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin.  Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it. I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty. For obvious reasons, I love this album. Here's a couple of tracks.      
    • Harpsichord.    I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.
    • From their FB page: Alcatrazz wish to make the following announcement: Back in late 2020 the brilliant Doogie White came in to help us out with our then already booked live dates after the departure of the previous vocalist (those dates were ultimately postponed to late 2021 due to the Covid lockdowns). We all had a GREAT time...and thus, one thing led to another and before we knew it we had made two fantastic albums and toured considerably in a nearly 4 year period. Now our schedule is getting busier and busier, as is Doogie's with his very fine solo work... and with that, the inevitable clashing of dates in our respective diaries, and needless to say, the impossibility of him being able to be in two places at one time. We remain on very very good terms with Doogie and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the band, he is very welcome on our stage anytime, as are all past Alcatrazz alumni. Current Warlord vocalist and someone already known to many Alcatrazz fans (as co-producer and also contributing songwriter for Alcatrazz's past 3 albums) Giles Lavery will be stepping up for the 2024 live dates - and with that we will be reintroducing many songs from the Alcatrazz past, including some not played in many years. Giles's first show is 22nd of March in New Orleans, lets all make him feel welcome and please lets also give a massive thank you to our dear friend Doogie White for everything he gave to this band since 2020, he is a true pro and a great person! Doogie has a video message to the fans that we will share later today as well. Jimmy, Gary, Joe, Larry.
    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
    • I remember my early days on the internet joining a group on Yahoo (yeah thats how long ago it was) and the woman who created the group was trying to persaude me how great Creed was, so much so that she sent me the first two albums on CD. I had no idea what they sounded like. When I played them all I could think is that they sounded like Pearl Jam, and I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I ended up trading them for something better. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but I somehow shared my CD collection online and she noticed straight away that the Creed CDs were not listed. She asked me why and I said I sold them as really did not like them, and got something I did like. She never spoke to me again after that
