BLUE TEARS - SELF TITLED / MAD BAD & DANGEROUS

 

DEF LEPPARD - HYSTERIA / ADRENALIZE

 

SKAGARACK - HUNGRY FOR A GAME / A SLICE OF HEAVEN

 

 

Tree ground breaking albums & must haves for any serious fan of Hard Rock :beerbang:

 

Well agree with you on SKAGARACK, but definitely not on the other 2. I thought the only BLUE TEARS album worth bothering with was the debut.

 

I know others have mentioned it, but the only 2 filler-free back-to-back discs I can see mentioned are HAREM SCAREM's first 2.

I love the HS debut & sophomore but.......... I dont find them filler free, there's easily one track in each of those that I feel could have benefoted album by being left out.

But the same applies to "Adrenalize"? You can't tell me that "Make Love Like A Man" is a great song - surely?!

The thread isnt entitled 'name 2 filler free back to back albums from any artist'.

 

To be honest I dont think that exists.

 

If you are going down that route then out of my list the closest is Threshold Subsurface / Dead Reckoning...both are virtually filler free.

 

The HS combo certainly isnt. The second half of Mood Swings has at least 2 tracks which dip massively in quality to these ears. The only filler free HS album IMO is 'Higher'....although most would disagree, that for me is their best album...and most consistent across the 10 tacks on offer.

 

Cheers

Sorry mate, good as "Higher" is the first track is frankly rubbish & totally spoils it. You're right about the thread title, I was just playing devil's advocate....

The first one that comes to mind is AC//DC "Highway to Hell" and "Back in Black"....What is truly amazing is that these 2 releases feature 2 different vocalists after Bon Scott's death... :tumbsup:

 

You can even pre-date Highway to Hell with Powerage and Let There Be Rock and follow Back in Black with For Those About to Rock and Flick of the Switch. :headbanger:

    • From Lions Pride Music: We are very excited to announce the signing of hard rockers Fire In The Rodeo and the release of their self titled debut album #FireInTheRodeo to be released worldwide on February 2025!   Fire In the Rodeo said: "We are pretty stoked and excited to get signed by Lions Pride Music. We are currently working on our full length self-titled album 'Fire In The Rodeo' and we are extremely excited for this oppurtunity and we are looking forward for an amazing journey with Lions Pride Music!".   Tracklist: 1. Back For More 2. Red Hot Spicy 3. Sweet Memories 4. Lipstick Mosh 5. Viper's Kiss 6. Cupid Have Mercy 7. You Drive Me Crazy 8. Life In Chains 9. Wings Of Freedom 10. Fire In The Rodeo   Fire In The Rodeo is: Aviroop Basu (Demonskreamer): Vocals Suvojeet Das (FlamexXx): Guitars Shambo Roychoudhury (PoisonX): Guitars Dhritiman Som (Weirdodo): Drums Nilavro Ghosh (Rony): Bass   Hailing from the culturally rich city of Kolkata, India, Fire In The Rodeo stands as a beacon of contemporary Heavy Rock, Glam Metal, and Melodic Rock fusion. Established in 2022 by the visionary frontman Aviroop Basu, the band's inception signaled the emergence of a musical force destined to captivate audiences worldwide. In December 2022, Fire In The Rodeo unveiled their maiden opus, the demo single "Back for More." This inaugural offering showcased their mastery over their chosen genres and provided a tantalizing glimpse into their musical prowess. Building upon the fervor ignited by their debut, the band resounded once again in July 2023 with their second single, "Ready To Fight." With this release, they cemented their status as a rising musical powerhouse, earning fervent accolades from aficionados and critics alike.   Fire In The Rodeo's artistic genesis draws inspiration from the illustrious lineage of Kix, Scorpions, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Ratt, Motley Crue, among other luminaries. Such influences seamlessly intertwine within their compositions, resulting in a harmonious synthesis of sonic excellence. A defining hallmark of their artistry lies in their reverence for the 80s era of rock 'n' roll—a golden age that continues to resonate deeply within their musical ethos. By infusing modern nuances into this revered soundscape, Fire In The Rodeo conjures a distinctive auditory experience that marries the classic with the contemporary.   Their sonic tapestry is woven with roaring anthemic guitars, percussive rhythms that reverberate through the soul, and guitar riffs that scorch with undeniable intensity. Aviroop Basu's vocals ascend to extraordinary heights, delivering a high-octane performance that transcends musical boundaries. The band's chorus lines, irresistibly catchy and persistently memorable, have an uncanny ability to embed themselves within the listener's consciousness—a testament to the compositional brilliance they wield.   Amidst their meteoric ascent, Fire In The Rodeo solidified their trajectory by signing a landmark worldwide deal with the esteemed record label Lions Pride Music in 2023. This milestone paves the way for the much-anticipated release of their debut album in February 2025—an event that promises to redefine the contemporary rock landscape. As the journey of Fire In The Rodeo unfolds, their music serves as a tribute to an era bygone, a testament to the evolution of sound, and a testimony to the enduring allure of rock 'n' roll.

Renowned for their explosive live performances and raw, emotive songwriting, Black Jack delivers an unadulterated rock 'n' roll experience that has propelled them into the ranks of the most exhilarating acts in the industry.   Drawing inspiration from a wide spectrum of influences, ranging from hard rock legends to contemporary trailblazers, Black Jack has cultivated a distinctive sonic identity. Their music is characterized by thunderous guitar riffs, soaring vocals, a relentless rhythm section, and potent melodies that ignite the senses.   At the core of Black Jack's lyrical prowess is a profound exploration of themes such as inspiration, loss, pain, rebellion, self-discovery, and the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. These evocative narratives, combined with the band's impeccable musicianship and electrifying stage presence, have solidified their reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in the industry today.   With a series of well-received singles under their belt, Black Jack is rapidly ascending the ranks, positioning themselves as one of the most promising and exciting new bands on the horizon. Their dedication to crafting authentic rock music and their unwavering commitment to delivering unforgettable live performances make Black Jack a band to watch as they continue to captivate audiences and leave an indelible mark on the world of rock 'n' roll.   Black Jack is: Sil Heavens: Vocals Ben Silvers: Guitars Abel Phoenix: Drums Las Berine: Bass      
    • I just stumbled across this power trio.... not too bad at all. The vocalist reminds me of a cross between Lex Koritni and Chris Cornell in some tunes. Nice production and good sound. Free CD Here: https://titanfactory.co/pages/the-ride-free-cd?fbclid=IwAR20J27IoN42Cpfe6MtYkliJzynwVuNzY-Urc7hbgfpM5HLZEwYItbGOVQU https://smalltowntitans.com/ https://www.facebook.com/smalltowntitans              
    • Fantastic band. Their last album 2021's  'Witness' was an absolute killer. Hope a new one is on the way.
    • Another big release for me this year. Mine is presently on it's way  from Robby's website. Can't wait to hear it all.
    • I got this as part of their career spanning box set a few months ago and it really is a great album. At present, sittiing very highly in my top releases of the year so far. Top quality stuff
