CJ Snare is one of my favorite vocalists, so I rushed to check this out like Geoff rushing to check out a pair of naked norks. "Movin' On" and "Shine" totally underwhelmed me, but "Next Worst Enemy" and "R U Angry" rocked my face off; I'll be downloading those 2 tracks for sure. Nice, ballsy stuff from Mr. Snare. I'd be very interested in hearing a full-length album.

just check out this EP, well first song, 'Movin On', is by far the worst track on this disc. 'Next Worst Enemy' is much better, the tense riffs made up a good modern hard rock track, the chorus is unusual and quite awesome, killer guitar as well!

 

'R U Angry' is also interesting, the combination of slow and uptempo is awesome, a punchy chorus is there, but overall isn't really a great song. 'Shine' is a beautiful acoustical ballad, quite predictable though, but satisfying.

 

Okay release, nothing's groundbreaking, 7/10 on first spin, but interested to hear a full album, if there's any, sadly it's not available for non-US fans :popcorn:

I like what I hear, but why not a new Firehouse? 8 years from the last one! Just as bad as Slaughter, 11 years since their last one!!!

Love CJ's voice, love the heavy-but-polished sound this band brings to the table, and love all the singles they've released thus far...consider me stoked for the album!!

    • I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.  
    • Yep, cracking indie release of which there are so many but this one is actually really good.
    • I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here  
    • Babymetal - Metal resistance Babymetal - The other one
    • Enjoyed their last cd "Human Nature" remind me of a mellower Black Stone Cherry, similar to Little Caesar.
    • BlackRain - Hot Rock Time Machine Lee Aaron - Bodyrock
    • Now theres a blast from the past  I'm lucky enough to possess 
    • Another i'm still awaiting the arrival of...same day release/delivery my arse Amazon  Still this is sounding like their best release thus far...they are gaining and getting better...although I did enjoy the last few albums also...but the sound/production from this one is excellent.
    • Still awaiting mine to arrive...should've been on Weds  or according to my order that was the case anyway
