There's a few threads here with plenty of opinions but my harmless two cents are that it's an excellent disc. Not the slab of perfection that some have made it out to be, and not the by-the-numbers AOR others have made it out to be. Just a great slab of melodic hard rock. Killer solos and mostly killer tunes. Favourite track for me is 'Running from the heartache', but with only three fillers there are plenty more to choose from. :)

Stating the obvious makes you 100% correct in all conversation.

Nope, but a good solid 87% I reckon (? Somewhere around there). Excellent stuff.

You know, LOVE JSS and think he's in the upper echelon of vocalists but this one is not grabbing me at all. I keep trying to like it but.......nothing. Well, I should not say nothing but it's not near what I was looking for and hoping for. The songs are just not there for me.

 

I am not giving up on it however, I will keep spinnin' it and hoping. JSS deserves at least that much.

So have spun this a good few times now, and I love it. Have nothing much more to add than everyone else has mentioned, other than that the quality actually increases towards the back-end of the disc (the last 4 songs are all killer). The best song for me is "If I Fall" - which will obviously get Journey comparisons - but that shouldn't detract from one of the best MHR songs of the year.

 

Only slight complaint is the vocals. Not because I don't love JSS, but because he has clearly been picked due to his marketability rather than suitability for this project. This is basically a Scandi Melodic Rock disc, and the verses (especially) have been written for singers like Vikstrom/Jidhed who have a higher pitch. "Just Go" is the best example of this. A soulful American singer with a lower tone doesn't really work here - apart from on "If I Fall" - and they should've chosen better.

 

Otherwise, virtually flawless stuff IMO.

Backed.......a rare disc where the second half is better than the first half.

 

...and the 2 best songs are saved for last.

 

what do think of those solos as well?? smokin IMO.

I personally don't think the end is any stronger than the rest at all. If anything the few fillers are in the 2nd half of the disc. :) That said, 'If I fall' is the 2nd best song on the CD. But otherwise, 'Running From The Heartache' is my favourite song on the disc, then 'If I fall' and after that it'd be 'I'll Be There', 'One Love', 'Invincible', 'Comes Down Like Rain' in that order.

 

In fact, the only fillers on the disc - 'Damage Is Done', 'Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is' and 'Just Go' - are all in the 2nd half of the disc. Yeah, sorry guys, completely disagree. If it's a game of two halves the first half crucifies the 2nd half. :)

 

As for Soto, I actually really love his presence on this disc. I think he nails it, and that's from someone who tires of him as easily as the next guy.

I liked the disk, but I still prefer JSS in Talisman over the stuff here. I WOULD rank this above Takara and his other CD's though, it's just not as good as the Talisman stuff. I think it's because the music (bass and guitar) on the Talisman stuff seems more catchy.

I'm about half way through this and I have to admit that this might be the most overrated cd ever.

I'm not sure how this got a 100 over at Melodicrock since IMO it barely should earn a 90. Of course this is just my opinion and I'm sure it will grow on me after a few more spins but so far to these ears it's just AOR by numbers and not anything near as good as what JSS has done with Talisman or even Eyes in the past. I sure hope this does grow on me since I did have high hopes for this one but so far I'm not to impressed(ducks to avoid flying objects).

I'm just hear to speak the truth. :geoffadillos:

 

Seriously though I do hope it grows on me but I think I was just expecting something more after all the hype.

      Voodoo Angel - Moulin Rouge

      By Stefan · Posted

      From Lions Pride Music: Voodoo Angel ANNOUNCES THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THEIR SECOND ALBUM, #MOULINROUGE UNDER Lions Pride Music - OUT NOVEMBER 29, 2024. Band: Voodoo Angel Album: Moulin Rouge Label: Lions Pride Music Catalogue Number: LPM089 Release Date: November 29, 2024   The wait is over. Voodoo Angel, the electrifying sleaze-metal phenomenon, is set to release their second studio album, Moulin Rouge, on November 29, 2024, under the esteemed Lions Pride Music label. Following the success of their 2022 debut, First Spell, the band is poised to deliver another hard-hitting collection of tracks that are unapologetically loud, thrilling, and unforgettable. Moulin Rouge is a testament to Voodoo Angel's relentless energy and unique sound—a fusion of sleaze, metal, and pure rock that has captivated audiences worldwide. The album features ten explosive tracks, including the anthemic opener "We're Still Alive," the poignant "When Life Passes You By," and the gritty "Daddy's Back To The Madam." Fans can expect the same raw power and intensity that made Voodoo Angel a global sensation. Tracklist: 01. We're Still Alive 02. When Life Passes You By 03. Broken 04. It's Gonna Hurt 05. Daddy's Back To The Madam 06. I Won't Stand In Line 07. More 08. Sin City 09. Come & Get It 10. So Pretty   Voodoo Angel's rise to fame is nothing short of legendary. From their beer-fueled beginnings to their viral sleaze-metal renditions of pop classics like "Billie Jean" and INXS's "Devil Inside," the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music. Their original compositions, such as "Wake Me When It's Done," have further solidified their place in the rock pantheon, amassing fans from Europe to Australia. The band's lineup, featuring Jean-Luc Rumèbe (Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys), Jim Red (Bass guitar & Backing vocals), Christophe Mouynet (Lead Guitars & Backing vocals), and Thomas Feuga (Drums & Backing vocals), is a powerhouse of talent and chemistry. Together, they have crafted Moulin Rouge, an album that not only meets but exceeds the high expectations set by their debut. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jean-Luc Rumèbe at JLR Studio Productions in France, Moulin Rouge is a sonic masterpiece. Rumèbe, who also composed, wrote, and arranged the album, brings his signature style to every track, ensuring that each song is a testament to Voodoo Angel's raw, unfiltered power. Fans can catch a glimpse of what's to come with the album sampler and artwork, both of which reflect the band’s distinctive aesthetic. Additionally, the track "So Pretty" features special guest backing vocals by Ricky Kearns, adding another layer of depth to the album. As Voodoo Angel prepares to unleash Moulin Rouge upon the world, one thing is certain: this band is here to stay. With a global deal with Lions Pride Music and a second album that is destined to become a modern rock classic, Voodoo Angel is set to electrify the world once again. Voodoo Angel is: Jean-Luc Rumèbe : Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys Jim Red : Bass guitar & Backing vocals Christophe Mouynet : Lead Guitars & Backing vocals Thomas Feuga : Drums & Backing vocals Additional Backing Vocals on „So Pretty“ by Ricky Kearns

      Ah, the old record label make a quick buck off bands they dropped years ago sets where they are just bare bones albums with no bonus material. I thought maybe I missed box sets with bonus stuff. But once again, still reasonably priced.

      Dredging this up again, as you can now find this set new for about $50-60 shipped on eBay. I just finally bought it to get the 5.1 channel blu-ray version of the album. $179 for the set? No fucking way. But $50? Ehh, ok. more reasonable IMO.
