*New* Masterplan album "Time To Be King"


KING

Recommended Posts

Everyone else is being pretty kind here, but I'll get to the point. This sucks. The overall standard of songwriting is miserably weak, and even the better songs are nowhere near as good as previous album high-points. MK2 was way better than this, and it's only the vocals IMO that save this from total disaster. Where are the hooks? Sure this opens pretty well with four decent tunes (including the excellent single "...Edge of the World"), but then once you've survived the tiresome "Lonely Winds of War" there's barely a single other hook or decent melody on the album. This is the worst album that Jorn has ever sung on IMO and he should very quickly ditch this bunch of talentless musos and ply his trade elsewhere. Crap.

 

Backed, Especially since the other albums are great,,,

They are plenty of great songs on here, those being;

 

THE SUN IS IN YOUR HANDS

THE DARK ROAD

BLUE EUROPA

TIME TO BE KING

FIDDLE OF TIME

UNDER THE MOON

 

I like all of those except 'Blue Europa' which I feel is the worst song that Jorn has ever been a part of. I absolutely hat it.

 

The other tunes are good but the best songs on this disc don't compare the best songs on the previous 3 Mplan releases IMO.

    • No official release yet so don't know when exactly the album is supposed to come out but I'm assuming it's this year. I'm sure you're all brimming with excitement.
    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
