See link below.

Good cover!

Agree that one is a great song, although slightly patchy on the verse, but the chorus is just pure heaven, but I prefer two other songs such as 'Blind Hearted' - which has Harem Scarem hooks; and 'Access Denied' is also brilliant. 'Black Cat' is also fantastic, 'Here I Am' is nice and 'We Don't Belong' is a very nice ballad track that's evolved to an uptempo tune later.

 

The rest are quite solid but not really great for me. 'In For The Ride' is quite poppish but barely reach the 8/10 mark, 'Follow Her' is perhaps the worst track here, 'Coming Home' is also very good but there's something off about this so I need to downgrade it to 7.5. If you happen to have the bonus track, I can say that 'Just Another Heartache' is also a good track to have although not propelling the whole score any higher.

 

Musicianship is quite average and replay value is moderate at 7.5 for me because I'm not really into modern thing at all as I can see they have that element here, but overall still a very nice album, perhaps almost on par with the debut. I need to replay the old album for the accurate comparison first.

Yeah, 'Blind Hearted' and 'We don't belong' are my other faves... and 'Black cat' is a killer opener. And 'Access Denied' would be next for me too. I rated it 82% and basically agree with your review more or less. The standouts are stellar, but there are a few just solid tracks.

This one is my surprise of the year (so far)! Bought the debut mainly because I wanted to support Andrew and the band and thought it was quite patchy. Their new disc on the other hand is killer imo: Immaculate production, great songs and intense melodies!

Favorites so far are 'Blindhearted', 'Access Denied' and 'Coming Home', but there really isn't any average song to be found.

You guys rated this much higher than me. After all the great reviews for this, I thought I'd like it for sure.

 

Nope. Can't say I'm digging this much at all, even with the Harem Scarem similarities occasionally.

 

I rated this 72%, which is lower than the rest of you guys.

Have I not commented here, yet? Yeah, this one kills. Black Cat, What If, In for the Ride, Follow Her, Blind Hearted, Access Denied, all fantastic tunes.

    • 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.
    • Doesn't sound like Sweet at all but I kinda like it actually.
    • From your list and what hasn't been mentioned ,Sleeze Beez -Screwed,Blued & Tattooed and their Powertool album  ,Bezerk by Tigertailz , first two Lillian Axe , Baton Rouge - Shale Your Soul...all particular favs of mine,I have  a soft spot for Loudness - Thunder In The East also,dunno if you have Master Of Disguise from Lizzy Borden but it would be my fav by them....to be honest most of the artists on that  list I like though 
    • New song 'Burning Like A Falling Star' from the forthcoming album 'Full Circle'.    
    • 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  
    • New song 'Chase The Sun'.
