Casablanca review

 

Lead vocalist reminds me a little bit of Davy Vain and it's produced by Chris Laney...what more do you need to know??

Anything that involves Ryan Roxie is worth picking up or checking out.

 

Been waiting a long time for this one.

So...where can we order the CD? I have the E.P....KILLER sound!

Can't order it anywhere yet...doesn't get released until March 16th. I do think a lot of folks around here are going to like this album. Chris Laney does an excellent production job as always, and while some of the songs are a little more subdued than I prefer, at least half the CD is made up of great tracks. Personally, I can't stop playing "Deliberately Wasted"; big, fat, sing-along anthem.

I gotta say, guys, I was browsing Musicbuymail yesterday and I saw this and thought wtf, why is no one talking about this. I played the 3 samples on the site and I have to admit I was left totally unimpressed. I might try the full thing before writing it off, but it certainly didn't make me want to desperately seek it. :( The key word in Marks post is "subdued."

Checked out a few tracks off this one after reading some positive reviews. All songs seemed pretty good without being outstanding. The one notable exception is 'Rich Girl', which is one of the best songs I've heard so far this year. Definitely a tune I'll be downloading.

    • From Lions Pride Music: Voodoo Angel ANNOUNCES THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THEIR SECOND ALBUM, #MOULINROUGE UNDER Lions Pride Music - OUT NOVEMBER 29, 2024. Band: Voodoo Angel Album: Moulin Rouge Label: Lions Pride Music Catalogue Number: LPM089 Release Date: November 29, 2024   The wait is over. Voodoo Angel, the electrifying sleaze-metal phenomenon, is set to release their second studio album, Moulin Rouge, on November 29, 2024, under the esteemed Lions Pride Music label. Following the success of their 2022 debut, First Spell, the band is poised to deliver another hard-hitting collection of tracks that are unapologetically loud, thrilling, and unforgettable. Moulin Rouge is a testament to Voodoo Angel's relentless energy and unique sound—a fusion of sleaze, metal, and pure rock that has captivated audiences worldwide. The album features ten explosive tracks, including the anthemic opener "We're Still Alive," the poignant "When Life Passes You By," and the gritty "Daddy's Back To The Madam." Fans can expect the same raw power and intensity that made Voodoo Angel a global sensation. Tracklist: 01. We're Still Alive 02. When Life Passes You By 03. Broken 04. It's Gonna Hurt 05. Daddy's Back To The Madam 06. I Won't Stand In Line 07. More 08. Sin City 09. Come & Get It 10. So Pretty   Voodoo Angel's rise to fame is nothing short of legendary. From their beer-fueled beginnings to their viral sleaze-metal renditions of pop classics like "Billie Jean" and INXS's "Devil Inside," the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music. Their original compositions, such as "Wake Me When It's Done," have further solidified their place in the rock pantheon, amassing fans from Europe to Australia. The band's lineup, featuring Jean-Luc Rumèbe (Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys), Jim Red (Bass guitar & Backing vocals), Christophe Mouynet (Lead Guitars & Backing vocals), and Thomas Feuga (Drums & Backing vocals), is a powerhouse of talent and chemistry. Together, they have crafted Moulin Rouge, an album that not only meets but exceeds the high expectations set by their debut. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jean-Luc Rumèbe at JLR Studio Productions in France, Moulin Rouge is a sonic masterpiece. Rumèbe, who also composed, wrote, and arranged the album, brings his signature style to every track, ensuring that each song is a testament to Voodoo Angel's raw, unfiltered power. Fans can catch a glimpse of what's to come with the album sampler and artwork, both of which reflect the band’s distinctive aesthetic. Additionally, the track "So Pretty" features special guest backing vocals by Ricky Kearns, adding another layer of depth to the album. As Voodoo Angel prepares to unleash Moulin Rouge upon the world, one thing is certain: this band is here to stay. With a global deal with Lions Pride Music and a second album that is destined to become a modern rock classic, Voodoo Angel is set to electrify the world once again.

    • New video for 'I Can't Wait' coming later this week.    
    • Ah, the old record label make a quick buck off bands they dropped years ago sets where they are just bare bones albums with no bonus material. I thought maybe I missed box sets with bonus stuff. But once again, still reasonably priced.

    • Dredging this up again, as you can now find this set new for about $50-60 shipped on eBay. I just finally bought it to get the 5.1 channel blu-ray version of the album. $179 for the set? No fucking way. But $50? Ehh, ok. more reasonable IMO.
