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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

      Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.

      Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".

      So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger
