Chris Laney's Legion

[heavyharmonies]

I'm actually surprised there isn't more discussion about this release. Personally, some production issues notwithstanding, I think it's exceptional. It's getting a lot of replay from me.

 

Samples of all tracks over on the main site:

 

[The Rocker]

I am liking what I hear!!!

[Glen]

the production is pretty rough though.....kind of marrs it for me. Surprising when you consider who's involved.

 

A shame really cos some of the songs are pretty good......just cant be doing with listening to a rough production.

[Geoff]

Wow, I agreed above the production wasn't "typical Laney" but jeesus wept guys, it's not that bad is it? Still sounds damn good to me and it's a damn good disc too. I think it's as well produced, at least, as most of the best releases of the year. Definitely not hearing anything I'd call poor production by a long stretch.

 

'Assassin of our love' is about as good a track as this year has produced thus far.

[Glen]

Sounds damned muddy to me. Compared to HEAT its shocking.

 

I like the songs though

I agree. Maybe not on par but not crap production.

[Nightrain]

I think it's inferior to Laney's usual touch but I guess it's not bad, for me the production is around 7.5 or 8. Songs mostly good but nothing's mindblowing except 'Assassin of Our Love' which is a 9/10 material. The ballad, 'Bleed Within' is also pretty amazing, 'On And On' is also awesome, and 'Poptastic' is another nice number, but I found the rest are probably 7 to 7,5 tracks and 'Beneath The Surface' is probably the weakest track here.

 

All in all, a 77% from me

[AlphaMale]

I gave it an 84%. Pretty damn good disc to these ears!

anyone after the Jap pressing of the Laney's Legion cd... perris records has it for about $12 right now.

Finally pulled the trigger and grabbed this one.

If buying from there, they also have sleaze band 'sleek stain' on sale for about $6-7 aswell.

Dupe

[Glen]

wont make my top 20....

[CureTheSane]

This album got lots of spins when it came out and then shelved and forgotten about... until today.

 

Went out to lunch with my son and when I jumped in his car he clicked on his Bluetooth thing that plugs into his cigarette light spot and then syncs to an assigned radio station.
Pretty cool little device - takes a USB and also allows syncing songs from any phone around.

Anyway, music starts playing and I am familiar with it but can't place who it is.

Turns out it's this CD.
4 consecutive songs were great.

He says "I think this is my favorite band at the moment"
Weird when your kid discovers such a (relatively) obscure band.

 

My pick is still Poptastic

[Stefan]

I like it.

'Assassin of our love' is about all you need from this one.
