Don't care for this band at all....

 

I often compare them to Wig Wam and Brother Firetribe since they all came out around the same time but I prefer Wig Wam but The Poodles are good too but I don't have all of their releases.

I also prefer Wig Wam by quite a bit, but I will admit that the last 2 The Poodles CDs are probably both better than Wig Wam's last one. Hoping for a killer 4th effort from Wig Wam, though.

I've had it for a few weeks and true, it does get better with more spins. However, I still think it's the album with the fewest great songs and the most fillers.

 

The best tracks are by far 'Bring Back The Night' (the chorus of the year...so far) 'Cuts Like A Knife', 'I Want It All' and 'Vampire's Call'. I also appreciate the ballad' As Time Is Passing', huge vocals, a bit slow compared to some of the bands other ballads.

 

If it was up to me, I'd get rid of tracks 4,7,9 and the bonus track. With the 9 remaining tracks, I'd add one more ballad similar to 'One Out Of Ten' or 'Shine' and you'd have yourself a great 10 track release. 13 to 14 tracks are not necessary from a band that puts out a new album out every 18 to 24 months, too much filler seems to find its way unto their releases.

The only song I don't care for is "Action" as that song is horrible but besides that I like all of them.

I have to admit I actually enjoy all the songs. Some better than the others, but I'm still thinking this may be their best CD yet. :)

 

'Action' is probably the worst song, though.

 

Compared to 'Sweet trade,' which imo was mostly filler, this is a million times better.

i kinda dig 'Sweet Trade', but definitely that's their weakest,

and ditto on this being their best :headbanger:

Originally I hated 'Sweet Trade.' I did come around to not minding the second half of it, but imo there's no doubt it's by far their weakest yet. :)

    • New album ''When Yesterday Comes Around' out March 21. From Pride & Joy Music: Alien is a Swedish rock band that has been a cornerstone of the hard rock scene since 1986, known for their melodic hooks, powerful guitar riffs, and the unmistakable voice of Jim Jidhed. Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, the band quickly gained recognition both domestically and internationally, building a legacy of powerful albums and unforgettable live shows. Alien’s self-titled debut album, released in 1988, introduced their melodic hard rock style to the world establishing Alien as one of the standout bands of the late 80s hard rock scene. ”Only One Woman,” one of Alien’s most iconic songs which currently has almost 6 million streams on Spotify alone, became a massive hit and achieved gold certification in Sweden and dominated Swedish radio charts. The song also performed well internationally, receiving heavy rotation on radio stations in Europe, the US and Japan pushing the band higher into the global spotlight. Since then, the band has released several albums, the most recent one, ”Into the future” in 2020, which acclaimed positive reviews for its modern approach to the band’s established style, while still staying true to their melodic rock roots. 2025 marks a comeback with a new rcord coming out on March 21st, 2025 via Pride & Joy Music. With ”When Yesterday Comes Around” the Swedes take you back to a glorious time, but with a modern sound. Alien will also play at Sweden Rock Festival on the 4th of June, 2025 and will also embark on an South American tour in the fall next year. With a career spanning over three decades, the band continues to evolve and remain a vital force in rock music and the music continues to resonate with fans old and new. With a loyal fan base, a history of chart-topping hits and a reputation for delivering high-quality performances the band continues to tour worldwide and perform at major festivals and clubs. Their signature sound, a distinctive blend of melodic hard rock and AOR, has earned them a place among Sweden’s most enduring and beloved rock acts. The first single from the album, “If Love Is War” will be released in advance on January 10th, 2025. Line-up: •           Jim Jidhed – Vocals •           Tony Borg – Guitars •           Toby Tarrach – Drums
    • Haha, yeah, this is a name I am surprised to see on the forum. I remember them from what must be 20 years ago by now, I think? Is this from back then, or are they still going? Sounds pretty decent, for them.  
    • Oh, wow. They're "interesting" music videos. I think I did hear somewhere they're doing a video for every song on the album, ay? 
    • That Iridium Reactions dude on YouTube had this really high on his best of 2024 list... I think in top 3 or so? And it does sound quite nice. Will defo have to check this out this week and hope for a nice late surprise in the year. 
    • New song 'Voices'.    
    • It's so lonely in the top   
    • Voodoo Circle - Hail To The King Fire Action - Until The Heat Dies Company Of Wolves - s/t (Rock Candy) Europe - Prisoners In Paradise (Rock Candy) Cobra Spell - 666 New Arcades - All That Remains LeBrock - Hope (Digital)
    • Overall a bit let down by this album Nothing that really makes me want to turn it up and blast loud, just an ok album full of ok to good songs.
