Was just watching that now. Is that an alternate version of the song, or does it just sound different due to the conversion from an old VHS or something? Definitely sounds quite different in many regards.

 

But even that version is amazing...

How I rated their discography:

 

Casanova - 1991 - 88
Heroes - 1999 - 87
One Night Stand - 1992 - 83
All Beauty Must Die - 2004 - 79
Sway - 1999 - 73
The placement of 'Heroes' did kind of surprise me to be honest. 'One night stand' does house a handfull of their all-time best songs ('Seal it with a kiss' and 'I'll come runnin' especially), but the 3/4 mark of the disc does bring some fillers. And 'Heroes' just comes out firing with so many amazing songs. Again, at the tail end there's a couple of weaker songs, but it's a deceptively excellent CD.
End of the day, they are one of my all-time favourite bands with a great discography.

That Heroes cd is fucking amazing and is quite likely my favorite release of 1999....and yes it is my fav Casanova release.....

 

I'd basically bet the contents of my house and my two dogs that it is the best album of 1999, by probably a margin of 30%! :lol:

 

Yeah, it is fantastic. I do prefer the debut just slightly, but as you can see, only by 1%. I'd have to also say that the 'Heroes' CD would be up there as one of the most played CDs in my entire collection. I know that thing backwards.

 

Do you sit there listening to 'Carmen' just waiting for the moment he hits that crazy high note? :lol: Man, I love that shit.

 

The thing I can't comprehend is how 'Sway' was also released in that same year, yet it is pretty shit. What on earth happened there? They are SO different in style.

Oh really? I thought they were 1998 and 2000? Yeah, that would indeed be a close contest. I probably would tip my hat towards Steelhouse Lane, but you never know until the ratings drop. The funny thing I've found is that even in these disgusting mid to late 90's years, there are still excellent CDs in the mix, few as they may be.

Yeah that Steelhouse Lane would be ahead of Heroes, another amazing release....lets not forget Burning Rain - S/T, Damned Nation - Road of Desire and Jaded Heart - IV , they would be at the top of my list for 1999 also....

lol, what a year! I personally wouldn't rate Burning Rain anywhere in the mix (I think I like two songs off the thing) but Damned Nation and Jaded Heart (particularly JH) were excellent! Makes for a brilliant top 5, if nothing else.

    • New album 'Universal Human Desire' out March 31. From Lions Pride Music: Outlasted is a professional rock band hailing from Norway, known for their captivating blend of AOR (Album-Oriented Rock) sound. Formed in 2010 by guitarist Terje Fløyli and keyboard player Odd-Børge Hansen, the band's unique journey began with the exchange of song ideas through traditional mail, rather than the ubiquitous digital communication we now know as email. Despite residing in different cities, Fløyli and Hansen forged a deep musical connection, fostering their shared passion for AOR by burning CDs and sending files back and forth. Gradually, their collaborative efforts materialized into a collection of songs that formed the foundation of their debut album, "Into the Night," which was released in 2016 through Melodic Rock Records. To bring their vision to life, Outlasted enlisted the talents of drummer Rune Bryn and bassist Rickard Johannesson, who contributed to the recording of the album's bed tracks. However, the band's lineup experienced changes, leading to the recruitment of vocalist Glenn Wikran, drummer Rune Erling Pedersen, and bassist Aleksander Schjølberg. The release of "Into the Night" garnered international acclaim, captivating listeners worldwide and receiving high praise from critics. Notably, the music video for their hit single, "Someone Like You," quickly gained viral popularity, spreading like wildfire across the internet. In 2019, Outlasted unveiled their highly anticipated sophomore album, "Waiting for Daybreak." The CD edition, limited to 500 copies, sold out within a mere three months, attesting to the band's growing fanbase. Tragically, shortly after the album's release, their record label underwent a change in ownership. Consequently, the physical copies of "Waiting for Daybreak" became coveted collectors' items. However, the band remained undeterred, navigating these challenges with resilience. Prior to commencing the recording of "Waiting for Daybreak," Outlasted underwent another lineup transformation, bidding farewell to drummer Rune Erling Pedersen and bassist Aleksander Schjølberg. Their vacant spots were filled by drummer Andreas Jentoft and bassist Lasse Ingebrigtsen, both of whom contributed their exceptional skills to the band's subsequent music videos, "Chains of Destiny" and "After All These Years." In 2023, Outlasted inked a significant record deal with Lions Pride Music, solidifying their global reach. Currently, the band is diligently crafting their third studio album, poised for release on March 31, 2025. With their unwavering dedication and unwritten chapters awaiting, Outlasted is set to captivate audiences once again with their irresistible AOR sound, leaving an indelible mark on the rock music landscape. Outlasted is: Glenn Wikran – Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals & Guitars Terje Fløyli – Guitars Odd-Børge Hansen – Keyboards & Backing Vocals Lasse Ingebrigtsen – Bass Andreas Jentoft – Drums 01. Weight Of The World 02. Save Your Love 03. Tonight 04. Lost Without You 05. Afraid Of Love 06. Monkey On My Back 07. We Are One 08. Last Of The Runaways 09. Think Of You 10. Last Time She Cried 11. Fallin’ For You 12. Coming Home      
    • Love a bit of Kim. She's done some real quality albums over the years, especially her first 5 or so albums. 'Here Come The Aliens' from 2018 was a real return to form and the 2 latest singles promise a lot for the new album too. 
    • Nothing has really stuck with this tbh, so a  solid album without blowing me away.
    • Great album..one of the better MR discs this year
    • A good album and their best in quite a while. 'Don't Wanna Say Goodbye' and 'State Of Emergency' are my picks. 
    • It's ok, although a little weak on the original songs if  i'm honest. Of the  6 New England covers, whilst quite well done, they don't improve or add anything compared to the fantastic original versions, although  'I'm Not Down', which was meant for the unreleased 4th New England album, is the clear winner on this set.  Not an album that will get played very often, but not a bad effort.
    • Yep...musically very sound, but a little bit too 'preachy' for me.
