As good as this year has been so far, I truly believe that I am yet to hear possibly my entire top 5 or 6 releases........the end of this year is going to be phenomenal..........i was already looking forward to many of these and Andrew's words today over on mel rock has only fuelled my desire to get/hear these releases

 

Eclipse

Hess

Jimi Jamison

Pride Of Lions

Vega

Degreed

 

All sound like they are going to be amazing.

 

Add to that some potential 'modern' treats as well like Hinder, Papa Roach and New Device and its shaping up to be a hell of an end to 2012!!

Some heavier releases to come too:

Very glad to see Issa there. Loved the two albums so far, looking forward to number three!

 

Isn't the new Issa an album of classic AOR covers or something. Houston tried this tack last year and whilst was it was pretty good, I would have rather heard new material. I'd rather hear her original stuff, as she has improved with each album so far.

Oh, I see. :( Enthusiasm officially dampened into non-existence. I like Houston plenty and didn't check out that album, nor do I have any intention to ever do so. If you are indeed correct, the same will go for the new Issa album. :(
