I'm really, really looking forward to this. I expect it to contend for album of the year quite fiercely.

maybe one of the tracks from the Sweden Rock cd:s. Both great but Tonight is propably the best track they ever have recorded IMO.

Backed. LOVE that 'Tonight' tune.

Seems like me and you Geoff has a very similar taste when it comes down to 80-ies melodic rock. Me and you usually tends to think almost the same songs rocks these type of albums :P

Nice. I congratulate you on being awesome then. ;)

Didn't want to create a new topic for this a few days out from the release of their new album, but as per discussions in the One Desire thread, this would be how I'd currently rank the HEAT discography;

1. Address The Nation

2. H.E.A.T

3. Freedom Rock

4. Tearing Down The Walls

5. Into The Great Unknown

Amused that this topic is in the glam/sleaze sub-forum.

I'm gonna rate all 5 from scratch.

I have a feelin that the debut might be bottom. skipped through it earlier and although it's good it's not aged as well as I thought.

Not sure on percentages but for me:

1.  Tearing Down The Walls

2.  Address The Nation

3.  Into the Great Unknown

 

 

 

4.  Freedom Rock

5.  H.e.a.t

The big gap is because there is a huge one between the Gronwall albums and the Kenny albums for me B)

I think it's just in order of release, for me. 

H.e.a.t

Freedom Rock

Address the Nation

Tearing Down the Walls

And I never listened to Into the Great Unknown, because I lost interest. But I should at least give it a try tonight. If I was to do a Geoffrey-style rating, I might find I like Tearing Down the Walls more than Address the Nation. I skip about half the songs on that one, now. It hasn't aged well for me.

all very good though

Even though I don't agree with your rating, obviously, I do like it. It shows you clearly don't discriminate between the two vocalists.

Also, is it just Gleonard, or does everyone hate "Beg, Beg, Beg"? He's been very vocal about it for, well, I suppose ten years, now, and I just don't get it. It's catchy. It's upbeat. It's got a cool solo. Why the hate?

I don't hate it. It gives me the chance to have a piss mid set ;)

Actually last time I saw them it was pretty awesome as they sandwiched Whole lotta Rosie in it if I recall correctly

I don't mind Beg Beg Beg.

 

I don't mind it either....But the song is definitely enhanced live when they go in to the snippets of the other tunes and usually results in some kind of crowd antics from Erik.

well I was right when I said all would be between 85-95% but this shocked the hell out of me. More thoughts and full ratings to follow when I have a chance :

1. Address The Nation 95%

2. Freedom Rock 88.85%

3. Into The Great Unknown 87.50%

4. Tearing Down The Walls 86.14%

5. HEAT 85.38%

 

Suffice to say one of the essential bands of the last 10 years and I'm sure that the new album will nicely slot into 2nd place most probably 

For the record I rated 10 songs a perfect 10.....5 of those were on ATN ! 

30 songs rated 9 or over. Amazing really.

    • From Iconoclassic Records FB page: Survivor lead singer Jimi Jamison's previously unreleased 2007 country-rock solo album! Entirely written and produced by fellow former Survivor bandmate Jim Peterik.  After leading Survivor to the top of the charts in the mid-'80s, powerhouse vocalist Jimi Jamison reunited with Jim Peterik to cut... a country-rock album? The concept seems perplexing, yet it makes perfect sense. The singer was born Jimmy Wayne Jamison in smalltown Mississippi. Those who knew him best said that you could hear his Southern roots, no matter what he was singing. Today's country music often blurs the line between true old school country, pop, and straight up rock & roll. The same is true with 'Jimmy Wayne Jamison,' which at times, doesn't stray too far from the Jimi Jamison that we all know and love so dearly.  All track versions are previously unheard. Second release in the Jimi Jamison Archive Series. Coming on August 23, Jamison's birthdate.   Tracklist 1. Live Life 2. Love You All Over The World 3. Runaway Train 4. Strong At The Broken Places 5. I Wanna Touch You There 6. Heart Of A Woman 7. Sound Of Home 8. Alive 9. Till You Love Someone 10. Come Dancing 11. A Kiss To Remember You By #jimijamison #Survivor #jimpeterik #melodicrock #countryrock #southernrock #aor
    • I'm happy the do different stuff. Otherwise what they do would get old. Tesla proved how easy it is to make and album have a def Lep feel. And I loved that album, as a one off. And I loved slang as well. Variety is the spice of life 😁
    • Ohh nice,hoping the new recent singles will be on this one.
    • New album out September 20th through Frontiers.
    • I agree. Ultimately, I think bands become sort of what they "really" want to become and move toward the "mean" so to speak.  Leppard always said that they wanted to be like Queen in that they weren't constrained by having to make certain types of songs.  It was probably that desire to go outside the box that allowed Pyromania and Hysteria to happen in the first place.   And it's probably what's caused them to jump around with different style songs throughout the years.  I think it would've happened that way regardless.   Who knows though.  Maybe Steve would've influenced things a little bit as his Led Zep and Jimmy Page influences might've trickled in more.  And who knows what could've happened if Mutt stuck around for a couple more albums too....he was probably the most important piece in the puzzle.  They were already changing lanes though even with Steve and Mutt in the fold.  I think they've still shown they're capable of doing more classic sounding stuff if they want to with songs like Promises, Paper Sun, Dangerous, Take What You Want, etc being a few examples.    Either way, I'm just happy they've kept it going for nearly 50 years.  It has to be tough staying inspired and coming up with new song ideas for that long so that's kind of why I think the course they took would've naturally happened either way.  
    • What are the chances...no sooner than I got these from the band that Eonian annouce that they'll be issuing them  https://www.eonianrecords.com/ Their new single - Out Of Touch https://wantedbandofficial.bandcamp.com/track/out-of-touch
