Dynazty - Sultans Of Sin


Glen

Recommended Posts

I see this one is down to around £16 inc postage on Amazon and eBay now. Still too much for me, but I do need to revisit some of the songs having just read glowing reviews of the album on sleazeroxx and rockeyez:

Big fan of this band and to me the new album is pretty damned good - not quite up to the standard of the awesome 'Knock You Down' (which I rated 2nd best in 2011 - quite a feat!), but anyhoo after many listens I've dropped a big 89% on this one and here's how -

 

1. Come Alive - very good rocker, solid hook and great solo (8.75)

2. Raise You Hands - gotthard influenced medium paced rocker, awesome vocal (8.25)

3. Land Of Broken Dreams - perfect melodic hard rock, like a slightly harder rocking HEAT (10)

4. Falling - fine ballad which just falls short in the hook stakes..another great vocal though (8.50)

5. More Than A Man - bif chugging riff, melodic chorus and monster solo makes for another winner (8.75)

6. Love Junkie - killer melodic hard rock..reminds me of PC69 on their In10sity album plus one of the best solos ive heard this year (9.25)

7. The One To Blame - love that bass/riff combo in the verse! big anthemic chorus and killer solo..very nice (9.0)

8. Back Again - simple but perfectly executed ballad (9.25)

9. B'stards of R&R - all together now 'and we go woah'..lame lyrics but a great hook, and great musicianship (8.75)

10. Sultans Of Sin - monster rocker to end..doesnt re-invent the wheel, but the power of this song is immense (8.75)

 

 

Overall : 89%

Yeah I thought their last album was a bit better too. HUGE production on this, and I love the vocalist. I just wish all the songs were like the most melodic numbers. "Land Of Broken Dreams" is the best song of 2012 so far IMO...

Wow, high score, Glen, but glad you like it.

 

I dropped a 77% on this one, with only a few songs really working for me. I agree that the last album was better.

 

Big accolades for 'Land of broken dreams' by the T-scallop. Good song to me, but not up with my absolute faves of the year personally. Maybe for the lyrical aspect alone.

that song is a 10 for me, but there are better 10s if that makes sense?? probably not....just being a bit more liberal with my 10s this year....it if a song cant be improved its a 10..there have been a few so far. also going much further down the scale as well on the poorer songs...its just that ive only summarised 4 great albums so far :D

Yeah, I get the 10 score for this song. Great melodic rock song and the only reason I didn't rate it more than a 9.25 is because it didn''t make the lyrical connection with me. It's perfect in every other aspect but I don't really give a shit about a land of broken dreams. ;):lol: I've also handed out a few 10s this year, but for me the best song of the year so far is probably 'Never stop' by Safetysuit. Sure, I'm a massive soft cock but that song completely slays me. Chills every time without fail.

Nice choice, love that one. Though "Staring At It" (for lyrical content also) edges-it as my fave....

Oh goodness, I love that one too. Another huge fave of mine also. I particularly love the 'when you see an exit you'll be headed at it' line in the chorus. Stunning tune.

 

This disc may have lost momentum with some, but it probably gets even better for me with each spin. I love songs that actually sound like they mean something to someone. :)

No this disc - Safetysuit - may make a big revival with me. Got halfway through it this morning & forgot just how good it was. BBABH is under the microscope tonight tho :-)

I think the issue with it (Safetsuit) was that there was a whole mid-section of songs that are awesome. But some of the tunes at the beginning and end aren't quite as good. The title-track is another epic, with great lyrics and a strong message...

Not getting the love for 'Land Of Broken Dreams', sounds quite average to me. The only song that is really rocking my world on this one is 'Love Junkie'; killer tune!

Interesting, that song is what I would play to someone if they asked me what a filler-track is.

I can't argue against that! I just like the melodic songs. They should make an AOR album. :)

Me too. Great tune, but not heavy. Will be on my 'to download' list for certain.

'Love junkie' is a pretty good tune. Only issue with the song is actually the song title part of the chorus itself... the rest is pretty damn sweet.

This disc may have lost momentum with some, but it probably gets even better for me with each spin. I love songs that actually sound like they mean something to someone. :)

 

I think the issue with it (Safetsuit) was that there was a whole mid-section of songs that are awesome. But some of the tunes at the beginning and end aren't quite as good. The title-track is another epic, with great lyrics and a strong message...

Totally agree about the title track. Those 3 songs from 4-6 are near perfect. I like the start of the disc plenty but I agree the last 2 songs are not quite up to the standard of the rest of the disc. I really like both songs, but they're definitely probably what keeps this from being a 90+ CD for me.

Oh mate, how this amplifies what a freak you are! :lol: Ladiez, music and now weather. You're 0 from 3. I seriously cannot fathom people who think it's fun or nice to be f*cking cold. It is the most miserable feeling on earth. It's a true c*nt of a season and as I've said a billion times, if I had the money I would NEVER experience winter or cold ever again in my life. HATE it.

    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
