Bonus tracks are good. Will have to see if I can track down the Japan version of the Cd. I see the bonus tracks are on ITunes but I hate MP3's...Wish I Tunes sold stuff in FLAC or some other lossless format.

 

Bonus tracks are absolutely essential.

I'll have to see if they're on you tube or I tunes.

Agree. War On Love should have made the album, and is tied for favorite song with Take Me For A Ride.

"War On Love" is everyone's favourite, but I think "Don't Stop" slays it, and the rest of the album, save "Fire in the Pouring Rain."

Shame they left the bonus tracks off the main album. Why couldn't they have picked Look Out! or Wildlife as the bonus tracks?

 

They're both good tracks though and definitely enhance the CD with them added.

Haha, I too have tracked down the album after reading about the band the other day. Not blown away by it, but a couple good tracks. They're all ''ok'' but after repeatedly listening to the whole album I now find myself skipping most of the tracks. The ones that I still like are:

 

Showdown In Central Park

Wildlife

Fire In The Pouring Rain

Straight To The Grave

 

Gotta check out the non album tracks as well, have heard one on youtube but wasn't really convinced to be honest

I'm with you...Prefer Don't Stop. But War On Love is pretty good too.

 

Album is really growing on me the more I listen. I really like it all except for Look Out and possibly Wildlife.

 

Glad somebody brought this up....Nice little diversion even though I was 5 years late :)

But the question we all have is how does it compare to H.e.a.t?

Hey...I've been doing really well with no H.e.a.t comparisons lately :)

Yeah great album.... but the band is dead? Pretty sure singer was jailed???...

Yeah, think the band is 100% dead.  If I remember right, singer was jailed for sexual assault....And I even think it was with one of the other band member's girl friend but not 100& sure on that.  I think he was due out of jail in late 2018 or early 2019....again not 100% sure.

Either way, I think the chances are very, very slim of ever seeing anything more from these guys.....which is a shame as this was a great album.

    • New song 'The End Of Time'.    
    • New video for 'Without You'.    
    • Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think. 
    • H.E.A.T - 1000 Miles Vega - Hands In The Air The Defiants - Stay Issa - River of Love I'm at work right now so that's all I know off the top of my head but I'll look through my library for more when I get a chance.
    • Maybe anything by the Darkness
    • Wig wam - hard to be a rock n roller
    • Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:  
    • I want to compile quite an extensive playlist of hard rock songs that has a key change in the end. Why? Cause I think it sounds awesome Some well known exambles are: Bon Jovi - Living On a Prayer Wig Wam - In My Dreams Danger Danger - Don't Blame it on Love H.E.A.T - Beg Beg Beg
    • My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums.
