Anyone else digging this? An almost "unexpected" new album from these guys and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I think "the other guy" only sings on 2 songs this time round and all the rest are with John Reznick... and are very nice. Of his songs there is not a one I dislike. I always love a new album from these guys and if you've liked their last few I'm sure you'll dig this too. Good stuff.

I'm going to buy it at JB Hifi this week. This new album kinds came outta nowhere. I wasn't even aware that a new album was on the way until it came out. I do like this band a lot. I know a lot of people weren't thrilled with the 'Gutterflower' and 'Let Love In' albums but I thought they had some very cool songs on them. Looking forward to hearing the new one soon.

Yeah, I don't think there's one Reznick song that he has recorded since and including the 'Superstar Carwash' album that I've disliked (well, except 'Sweetest Lie' off the new one, which sounds like current U2/Rob Thomas). I've enjoyed both the last 2 discs - some songs more than others, but he always sounds good. He's got a good voice, a knack for good lyrics and a good ear for a hook. Just one of those guys I love hearing new music from.

 

I agree the album came from absolutely nowhere. For whatever reason, whenever I don't see a physical new album from these guys I always just assume they've quit. I assume they could quite easily live off their earnings from 'Dizzy up the girl' for the rest of their lives, so it's quite a treat to hear new stuff from them.

I have Superstar Carwash and that's it sorry Geoff. I'm guessing they changed a lot after that album, but I can't really say I've heard any songs other than the hits.

 

Where should I start post Superstar????

'Dizzy up the girl' remains their crowning achievement, and pretty much anything after that is worthwhile too, with varying degrees of consistency. The new one and 'Let love in' would probably be next in line, imo.

 

I like 'Superstar Carwash' but yeah, they've changed since then. More mellow, better song writing. I dig 'em.

      Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.

      Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".

      So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger
