I just listened to the entire song the first time. The music is classic HEAT, no doubt, and most people here will enjoy it. At first listen I would give it a 7.5/10.

 

The only negative for me is still the vocals. I just can't get into his voice, which is seriously lacking the uniqueness and power of Kenny Leckremo. He's a good singer but that's it IMO.

Thanks to Kim for sending the track my way.

 

I also miss Kenny's voice, a unique and awesome singer, but this new one is great...just not the H.E.A.T I've come to love. The new singer is great, he's just not Kenny. Now if only Kenny can release something new with a new band, now I'd be really happy.

 

This track seems to have more muscle than anything on Freedom Rock, it's more like something you'd find on the debut. As much as I loved Freedom Rock, it lacked a bit of crunch and Living On The Run...sure has some crunch! I'd be more tempted to give it a 9/10.

 

I can't wait to hear the rest.

I've listened to it three times now...the chorus is super-commercial and just made for radio airplay, a natural first-single choice I guess. It reminds me a lot of "I Can't Look The Other Way" off the last album, ironically my least fave song on that album. I think this is a tad better actually.

 

What's up with the cover though :blink:

I thought that was only a promo shot and not the cover. If it is the cover it's very weak. It's an OK photo for the inside or the back insert, not the front. I don't like band photos as front covers, makes it look cheap.

Can't hear the mofo anywhere. :(

 

Here's a try to show you the way:

 

1) go here

 

2) scroll down to "11.00 - 11.30 fredag 03 feb 2012 " and click

 

4) now skip forward to about 14:45

 

5) ...and enjoy the melodic bliss! :christmas:

 

Seriously, as much as I love the first two records and Kenny, if this song is any indication of what the album is going to be like, we're in for a classic – could be their Slippery When Wet (of course not in terms of sales or worldwide popularity)! Love Erik's voice and the slightly punchier production! The intro is even more 80s sounding than their first two albums imo.

Ah, you're a good man. Thanks mate! (sorry Glen, don't have Itunes on this PC).

 

As for the song... holy wowser! TOTALLY agree about the quality of the new production and sound. Much beefier than before - really suits this well. I'm as disappointed as every one else that Kenny couldn't stick around with the band (one of the better vocalists to come from the genre in a long, long time), but you gotta admit Erik sounds pretty awesome... who wouldn't with a song this good?! :lol:

 

The main thing, though, is that despite the updates to their sound, I still hear the real HEAT in that song, which is all I really wanted. If the full album is like this it's going to be almost impossible for another CD to compete with it this year, imo.

I kid you not, I spun that track about 8 to 10 times non stop last night and at least 4 times today. It's fantastic.

    • So finally got around to listening to the album (still waiting for CD to arrive but at least a digital version came with the order). This is defo the best album he has released since leaving Skid Row, and is better than anything released by his former band (even the Erik fronted album). I liked his solo stuff, but he was always trying too hard to be modern and heavy, so there were very few actual stand out tracks. On here though it really is more of a throwback. While not quite classic Skid Row, it is probably as close as we will ever get, kinda sitting somewhere sonically between the first two albums. The only downside for me is the fact there is only one ballad and it doesn't even come close to the two that featured on Angel Down. Seb took a long break between this and his previous album, and I think in that time he has taken time to reevaluate what he wants to do musically. As stated earlier, even the album cover is a throwback with it being a painting his father started decades ago. Hopefully any future releases will stick to this style, and not return to the style used on his last few albums.
    • Not sure, but sounds like christian lyrics to me. And could'nt find it on HH yet. 25 years ago I would have loved this, today I'm atheist and do not listen anymore to such... explicit lyrics.  
    • Spider of Destiny-Frank Zappa
    • I got it for free when I bought the Dirty Americans album. It's a cool little sampler.
    • Ha, I remember them. Good stuff.
    • Better than I expected, honestly, as GUN was never my thing.
    • Agree. Have been a fan of Halestorm and Lzzy....she's fantastic. That said though, this Skid Row thing just feels "off" to me.  She sounds fine but I think it's simply that hearing a female voice do the songs just doesn't seem right after listening to the originals for so long.   I much prefer hearing Lzzy in Halestorm.  I'd rather see her concentrate on that and also concentrate on doing new music that's more in line with their first 2 albums!
    • From memory it was recorded after the original pledge release of Beautiful things and was added as a bonus song when it became available to the general public.
