This is one of the few albums I have got the time to review this year and it did come in at a pretty handsome 77% for me. But when I think of the album it's not with overly high regards. It's a solid disc, but looking over my review there is a hell of a lot of 7's and 7.5's. Only 'Land of broken dreams' and 'Back again' really stood out for me. With 'Falling' and 'Bastards of rock n' roll' just breaking through with an 8 each.

 

A good enough album, but not one of my faves of the year thus far.

Yep I'd pretty much agree with that. "Land of Broken Dreams" is epic. The only song you missed that I like is "The One To Blame". Otherwise it's too hit & miss.

To each their own, because I love this cd.

I'll say 'Land of Broken Dreams' and 'Back Again' are 10/10 materials, but then probably Geoff and Tim should give more credits to the awesome mid-tempo ballad of 'Falling' which is a 9/10 to me, 'Love Junkie' is definitely awesome, probably in the heavy metal territory and I'll give it a solid 9/10 too, I guess Tim should like it more, and 'Bastards of Rock N Roll' is also a 9/10!

 

I found 'More Than A Man' and 'Sultans of Sin' to be a 7/10 or 7.5/10, but the rest are 8/10 to 8.5/10, and yes 'The One To Blame' is solid too, perhaps an 8.5/10, so at least 85% for the whole album and 90% for the fans :)

I have tried to like it more, believe me! It wasn't cheap to buy so I've stuck with it. Love the sound/production/vocals/playing, and the melodic songs are just lush (if they did an album of songs like "Land of Broken Dreams" it would be better than H.E.A.T/BROTHER FIRETRIBE-type stuff). Played it this morning again, "Falling" doesn't do it for me (needs a bigger chorus hook), nor does "Love Junkie" (same issue). Nicely played etc, but just 6/10 songs probably. "Back Again" is a good ballad, but not a 10/10 from me. In all honesty I think I preferred their other album (don't know what it's called, has a red cover - that' all I can remember!)... Glad others like this though, as it's not cheap to buy...

Had a listen to a few tracks on iTunes, and while I will give them another go, I probably won't get this CD. Sounded okay, but nothing special, plus it's a lot less glam than I was hoping. However, this is from someone who is trying extremely hard to curtail his CD buying and will by necessity have to restrict spending hugely this year. Already got Crazy Lixx on the list, possibly H.E.A.T. and Testament coming, I reckon those and maybe 3 more will have to be it for the rest of 2012, so Dynazty probably won't make the cut.

Some of the comments are funny :) This cd has no filler and is easily my #1 pick for the year. I have spun it at least 50 times now and it keeps getting better!

I don't think this album is a perfect 10, but it is damned good.

 

I havent rated yet but reckon it will come in at around 85%, which is good, but slightly worse than 'Knock You Down' which was awesome IMO.

 

One song which no-one seems to mention is 'Come Alive' which is about an awesome opener as you could wish for. killer chorus/solo.

@Tim : yup, Knock It Down, a big fan of that too, and its strength is equal to this IMHO but only if you count the whole bonus tracks, but if you put only the main tracks head to head, I'll say this one win slightly

 

@James : Testament sounds great, I'll buy myself one too later but don't know if you're going to like H.E.A.T because as far as I know, you'll prefer a heavier music rather than softer AOR rite ? have you tried the samples first ? it's an awesome album and perhaps going to be in my top 5, but probably not for you ?

I like the album, but most of what I bought so far this year sounds better than this does to these ears. It's good enough for me to investigate their next release.

Likewise. The new JADED HEART could be close though. Just got the new album and its amazing.

You'd think so. There are some softer albums I do like, but mostly I prefer slightly heavier stuff. I had both of H.E.A.T.'s other 2 albums and, with the exception of a small number of songs, they were surplus to requirements. Just not my cup of tea. However, the songs off the new one sounds really good. What I probably need to do is listen to them a few more times and persuade myself that I don't like them! :crazy:

This is a tough one for me, but I rate the new H.E.A.T. slightly higher than this one. Those are my 1&2 of the year so far.

      By TheOriginalSplash · Posted

      Motley Crue signed with the country label from Tennessee Big Machine Rec.. New song Dogs of War relased on Friday the 26th. Other than that don't ask me what there doing they did a little video of them signing contract and it doesn't include John 5 so he's not really part of Motley he's a hired gun..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3iDklwv1PI&t=2s

      Not much information on the video's page, other than it appears to be an AI creation. Once it gets into the verse and especially the chorus, it's actually not too bad IMO.

      While I appreciate your interest in contributing to the site, most of the artists and albums you are submitting are either REALLLLLLY stretching the boundaries, or as in the case of this band, completely off the mark. No alternagrunge. No punk. No death metal/power metal (although those can be submitted to Brutal Metal). You can always start a thread asking about a particular artist before blindly submitting it for inclusion. Thanks! -Dan

      Deep Purple announce new album =1 (July 19, 2024 via earMusic)

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      DEEP PURPLE Announces New Album '=1' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET DEEP PURPLE, one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time, will release a new album, "=1", on July 19 via earMUSIC. The first single will be unveiled on April 30 at midnight, a taster for the full 13 tracks of pioneering and rip-roaring rock and roll. "=1" is the band's first album with sensational guitarist Simon McBride, who seamlessly slotted in when longtime member Steve Morse left due to personal circumstances. Since 2022, Simon has already played to DEEP PURPLE audiences totalling more than half a million people. ith three consecutive No. 1 albums in their back pocket and a resurgent new energy powering them forward, this is DEEP PURPLE at their pinnacle. "Now WHAT?!" (2013),"inFinite" (2017) and "Whoosh!" (2020) have sold over one million copies worldwide, making DEEP PURPLE one of the most successful rock bands currently active. The latest studio album, "Whoosh!", reached No. 1 on the album charts in seven countries and charted in the top 10 in another 12. "=1" track listing: 01. Show Me 02. A Bit On The Side 03. Sharp Shooter 04. Portable Door 05. Old-Fangled Thing 06. If I Were You 07. Pictures Of You 08. I'm Saying Nothin' 09. Lazy Sod 10. Now You're Talkin' 11. No Money To Burn 12. I'll Catch You 13. Bleeding Obvious In 2022 came the sad news of Steve Morse's departure due to personal circumstances, but DEEP PURPLE, never a band to let a set back throw them off course, sought out the masterful skills of guitarist Simon McBride and played the year out in style, exciting crowds with a new energy and excitement. Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that DEEP PURPLE are very much here to stay.
