Bought this when it came out and love it.........they've had some quality stuff released over the years, very melodic and good tunes. They used to be a band called Razzle back in the 'hair metal' days and THAT was some great stuff too!

Yea! This is REALLY good! Always enjoyed Lits tongue in cheek approach and this certainly doesn't dissapoint.

 

But a June 2012 release? Not any notice or fanfare ANYWHERE on this...

 

I went on about it a little bit somewhere here on the forum - probably in the first spins thread? Can't remember. A few months later I still think it's pretty good and there are a handful of excellent tracks (you MUST check out the last 2), but also admittedly there's a few weaker ones. I'll dig up the score I threw at it:

 

1. C’mon - cool anthemic chorus on an okay song - 7.00

2. You Tonight - I don't know if it's cut against their will, or what, but I hate the cut part - 6.00

3. Same Shit, Different Drink - pretty terrible to be honest - 4.50

4. Miss You Gone - good, catchy modern rocker - 7.50

5. The Broken - solid anthem, but just not great - 6.50

6. She Don’t Know - good modern rock ballad - 7.50

7. Nothing’s Free - okay rocker - 6.50

8. You Did It - very average tune with a half okay chorus - 6.00

9. Partner in Crime - pretty typical modern rocker, but I like the chorus hook - 7.00

10. Here’s to Us - nice sentimental tune… sweet song - 7.50

11. The Wall - really great song with a killer hook - 8.50

12. Right This Time - killer modern melodic rock closer - 9.00

 

TOTAL SCORE - 70%

    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
    • I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try. 
    • I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year. 
    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
