Sounds good. Can't wait to hear more.

Similar to H.E.A.T (but with a much more pronounced Scandi accent in the vocals) I'm in!!!

 

If it's from Sweden and talked about on here, I'm usually very excited, this is no exception.

I'd definitely have to echo my above comments about it sounding very typically 80's scandi style. Pretty strong accent, but sounds like it'll be pretty good.

 

Sounds like 'Scratch and Bite' / 'Pleasure Principle' era Treat before they became truly magnificent.

Yeah, good song. Not brilliant, especially as there's no guitar solo (just an extra loud bit of the main riff where the solo should be) but I like this more than Treat.

Wow. :(

 

That's just ridiculous, mate. ;)

Yeah, but James is a bit ridiculous, so it's not out of character. He's been very vocal about his disdain towards Treat.

I've listened to Treat again and again. The make a good sound, the production is good, they play well, etc, but I just don't hear good songs. I don't get it, it's a real mystery to me how the band are so revered in these pages, as I think the tunes are so unremarkable. Clearly I'm in a very tiny minority here and I don't hate the band or anything, I just don't think they are any better than thousands of other bands out there.

I'm happy to accept I'm in the wrong if that helps. ;)

Love it. Have we spent the earlier half of this thread saying how much these guys sound like early HEAT? 'Cause they do.

 

That pre-chorus is the most perfect piece of music sex I've heard in an age!

    • 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
