OXYGEN - FINAL WARNING (Talon meets TNT)

[DrumRman]

Wow what a fantastic debut! Features Tony Niva (Ex Lions Share) on vocals! Reminds me of cross between Shawn Pelata (Line Of Fire / Talon), and Tony Harnell (ex TNT) on this album! HIGHLY recommended for fans of Melodic Hard Rock!

Sounds promising, will look into it soon

[Guest MetalShade]

Yes, DrumRman. They really sound great.

 

Found this link to the first track on their album which is called Janitor Of Love.

Hey dudes, any links to some tunes? The description sounds erection enhancing.

Just added samples of all the tracks:

Sounds more to me like scandi AOR e.g., Grand Illusion.

 

Excellent stuff!

Nice...definite pick up...

[Geoff]

Thanks Dan. Sounds good. Not a wild fan of the vocals, but the songs sound pretty sweet.

[Guest MetalShade]

thats right, not me neither. Must be the only vocalsist with a clear tone these days.

This is a more proper way to do it:

This disc wow-ed me right from the start, I think Dan's right, this is pretty much Scandi-AOR, probably more in the line of Final Frontier but without the alien/spacey vocal of Rob Moratti

 

'Janitor of Love', what a lousy pick of title but man that's one hell of a song, love it !

I guess everything is enjoyable here, I don't see no bad track, perhaps the title track which has average verse, but then the chorus is pretty good. Winners are that Janitor thing, 'When Tomorrow Never Comes', 'I Remember' which is quite slow and a bit sappy ballad but felt grand which is a good thing, 'We Must Fight' is awesome, and 'I Wanna Know For Sure' sounds fantastic !

'Best Days of Our Lives' is also very good, well one spin is just not enough, need to get back asap, but I think this belongs in the higher territory, perhaps 85%-90%

[DrumRman]

Don't get the Scandi AOR comments at all or AOR for that matter. Sure its MELODIC but the guitar riffs are not what you would find on a freaking Reo Speedwagon album. I call this Melodic Hard Rock.

[Geoff]

Is the title track not as bad as the worst song you've heard all hear? Funny that both these guys and Estrella have made what are 2 of the worst songs I've heard this year - both title tracks.

 

Nice enough album, that would have rated higher if not for that title track. Ended up with a respectable 68% but probably deserved to be in the early to mid 70's if they hadn't blemished it with that rubbish title track.
