Best of 2012................so far

Recommended Posts

 

Check out Jamie Alimorad. He's 80 on the list and I think he deserves to be much higher. Great music, great voice!

 

Hmm ... two posts, both about the same thing ... are you his brother / agent / drummer / partner?

 

;)

 

 

Jokes aside, though, it's a good, under-rated and overlooked disc.

Still only the two posts. I think I was right. (Many a true word spoken in jest!)

1 . Blessed By A Broken Heart - Feel The Power - 94

7 . Destine - Illuminate - 90

13 . Safetysuit - These Times - 90

14 . Namesake - Borders And Fences - 88

17 . Star City Meltdown - Music=War - 86

19 . Hit The Lights - Invicta - 85

24 . The Seeking - Yours Forever - 85;

 

Just a little fyi, fyi;

 

1 . Blessed By A Broken Heart - Feel The Power - 94 ; band is broken up
7 . Destine - Illuminate - 90 ; looks like band is in hiatus, with no plans to record again at the moment
13 . Safetysuit - These Times - 90 ; still active, and supposedly a new album due soon
14 . Namesake - Borders And Fences - 88 ; the band ended, BUT, as far as I can tell just changed their name to SEPARATIONS, have just released a pretty killer single, and will supposedly release an album this year. The new band is heavier, but the new song still has a good chorus hook.
17 . Star City Meltdown - Music=War - 86 ; as far as I can tell these guys broke up too
19 . Hit The Lights - Invicta - 85 ; not sure what's going on with these guys. If Thief Club went on to record a new album I'd be okay with nothing new from HTL for now, but yeah, not sure what's going on here, but it sure doesn't look like there will be any new HTL music anytime soon.
24 . The Seeking - Yours Forever - 85 ; broken up. :(

You're brought down? I looked these up last night and just about wept. I've been wondering where all my favourite bands are at recently. The answer... they've basically all broken up.

 

As for Namesake, I don't know how many of you creeps actually checked out the excellent 'Borders and Fences' album, but here's the new song I was talking about, from their new band name called Separations. It's a hell of a lot heavier, with heaps more screaming (sadly, as I don't think there was any screaming on the Namesake disc) but there's still a good very typical Namesake-style chorus on offer:

Soon as the screaming started, it had to go. Dreadful. :puke:

I didn't rate so high Jimi Jamison but I'm constantly spinning 5-6 tracks from it + Martensson's version of Bullet In The Gun

I listened to that Threshold the other day. Great album with Damian. NFO is of course a classic 

Prob my most listened to album of 2012 is Mr Tremonti. A metal classic.
