Nice big anthemic tune. Love the guitar in the lead up to the chorus - delicious! Very nice song as far as I'm concerned.

YES!

So did anyone get their sneaky little naughty pumpkin ears on this today?

 

The intro is terrible - unreasonably bad rather than just pointless. But after that, the first 4 songs are killers, especially the opener. The only real problem with this disc is what happens next. The ballad, 'Stranger of mine' is a complete dud, and momentum killer. And sadly, following that is the most (and only) average rocker on the disc, in 'Won't take the blame,' crazily followed by a 1:45 outro to this same song. A really weird, and imo poor move. The upside? The next two songs are killers, and the last two are pretty sweet too - the last being a very good ballad, to make up for the earlier mess.

 

Overall, seems like a pretty great disc and some of their biggest choruses yet. There's some real "anthemic" stuff here and is another step in the direction that these guys arguably get better with every release. The middle section is odd, but it doesn't spoil an otherwise great disc.

 

Oh yeah, and production is killer, of course.

backed, the intro is like WTF ???! why. Utter madness imo.

 

I actually like Wont Take The Blame, but pt 2 is another WTF moment??

 

The rest of it is stonking.....Just what I expect of a Hardcore Superstar album.

 

I was actually thinking that the album slightly short changed the punter by including the intro as track 1 and also including pt 2 as another 'track' on a 12 track album, but then when else to you get at least 8 gems on one album.....very rarely.

 

Good work guys......looking forward to full (and proper - not just skipping through on you tube) spin on Spotify later.

Well Geoffrey - first full listen & I must admit that I really liked the laid back ballad Stranger Of Mine, and Won't Take The Blame is great too. No problem with these 2 at all.

 

In fact take away the silly intro & silly pt 2 and you have a pretty awesome 10 track album - very very nice indeed!

I might be hated for this, but I'm not a huge fan of these guys(apart from a handful of songs). But this album kicks ass, agree with everyone about the intro & part 2 songs.

I definitely stand by my initial thoughts on 'Stranger of mine.' Just doesn't do a thing for me at all - really weak, boring ballad. 'Won't take the blame' is a good track - it's just that of all the rockers I think it's the weakest. But they're all good so it's not too outlandish to say such a thing. ;)

Im actually going to say that I love 'Stranger Of Mine'.

 

Really like the vibe, very cool and laid back. LOVE the lyrics. And the female vox are pretty cool too. Its perfectly positioned on the album which flows brilliantly I should add.

 

Yeah prefer this and in particular the last song (which is fab) to either ballad on Split You Lip.

 

Just me tho............

I agree with you on the last song. I think it's the best and only really great (?) ballad I can recall on a HS disc?

Well, there aren't many to choose from really?

 

Dreamin In A Casket is the closest thing on that album, although it isn't really a ballad

Beg For It - there isn't one is there??

 

Having said that I do really LOVE 'Standin On The Verge' off the s/t, that's a great ballad!

 

None of them are sappy love songs though so thats why you dont like them probably ;-)

Agree that the intro is a waste of space and why should they include a confusing 'Won't Take The Blame part 2' ? I'll skip those two and only rate the other 10 tracks. For me here, 'Above The Law' is the champion and second best track is 'Cmon Take On Me'. The first single, 'One More Minute', after some spins, actually only an 8/10 track, but of course still a great one. 'Are You Gonna Cry Now?' is a decent track and I also think 'Stranger of Mine' is pretty average and definitely these two are the weakest songs.

 

'Won't Take The Blame' itself is a great song, I love it, and the rest 4 tracks are around 8 - 8.5. Production is flawless, I gave it a solid 10, musicianship is 8, and replay value is around 8, probably also it's way too short for an album, and mind that two useless tracks. Overall, a solid score and recommended!

    • Looks like I've got a bit of catching up to do. I've been absent from the forums, and mostly listening to the classics. 
    • It's not a lack of response, it's an actively negative response. They appear to be blocking people and other organisations from sending aid. Really strange. 
    • Glad you're okay, @whiplash1972. I can't imagine what that must be like.
    • If you go to the "edit song details" menu, you can edit the displayed lyrics ( handy to get rid of ugly brackets and prompts ), change the song title and change the thumbnail image.  You'd be able to do that to your tracks as well I think. Create a playlist for each of your albums and use your album covers as the images for your playlists.  They present pretty well on suno. The below link is for my playlist.    As for the vocals, I don't mind having female vocals on some of my tracks. As you mentioned earlier, I have absolutely no musical expertise whatsoever when it comes to instruments and I cannot sing for shit. I sort of think that it's like someone writing a song and then giving it to an Artist, Male or female, to interpret it musically. Think Desmond Child writing for Bon Jovi and also Joan Jett, or great songs by Jeff Paris being recorded by Vixen. Am I comparing myself to Desmond Child and Jeff Paris when it comes to songwriting talent? Hmmm... yes,  I think so.       https://suno.com/playlist/1581a017-9d55-4b0f-8ea8-555aa5b11d00
    • Good safe and well with the footage I've seen on news here in Australia it must be scary.
    • I can tell you that at the very least, there are people from FEMA working with some of the local businesses (my employer included) as far as looking at what aid is available to them. On the flip side, I've heard that one of the FEMA directors "got an attitude" with a few folks in the Asheville area and got popped in the mouth. I can't confirm that, just a story that's making the rounds. 
    • Glad you and yours are ok Mike. There's been a lot of buzz on social media about the LACK of response from FEMA and the current admin. Have you seen or heard anything on the ground one way or the other?
    • Not sure if anyone has noticed my absence over the last 10 days, but I've only been able to sign in a few times from work over the course of that period. As some of you may know, on Friday, September 27th, Hurricane Helene slammed into western North Carolina and absolutely devastated this area, leveling entire towns in its path. In my 52 years on this planet, I've never seen destruction like this with my own eyes.  While my home and property were spared any major problems, our road looked like a damn warzone with all the trees and powerlines down. We were literally trapped like rats in a maze for several days, as even though some good samaritans were able to cut their way through the downed trees so we could leave the neighborhood, all roads leading out of this area were closed off, either due to trees and lines down, or due to flooding.   I was out of work for six days, as my employer had no power. We had no power here at the house for 9 days, with it being restored late yesterday evening. We lost several hundred dollars worth of food that thawed out from our fridge and freezers. No hot water after day one, no cell signal for several days, no stores or restaurants open for several days... If it sounds like I'm complaining, I assure you, I am not. I am grateful. My family and friends are blessed, as we're all pretty much back up and running now. While there was some severe flooding here in Morganton just around two miles from my house, overall, it was MILD around here. Once you drive a mere 20 miles up the road to a little town called Old Fort in McDowell County, and everything west from there, it is exponentially worse. Huge chunks of Asheville under water, Chimney Rock literally wiped off the map, Spruce Pine damn near wiped away, small towns with no communication to the outside world with people struggling. It is BAD here in Western NC, and it's going to take a LONG time for things to get back to some semblance of normal for ALOT of people.  I just felt the need to post and let anyone who might have noticed I was MIA that I am fine, but that alot of good people are not. Please keep western North Carolina in your thoughts and prayers, and if that's not your thing, drink one for all of us tonight. Here are a few links that I've shared over the last week on FB that show the devastation around here... https://fb.watch/v331QebVRJ/ https://www.facebook.com/100067755911039/videos/1069274148086583/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ER9b6tv8oj84QuWb/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/9MpnKZUAx4m5oy3y/ All these aerial shots are from around 1-2 miles from my house: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/vux5WpAqeMDcNMhS/ https://fb.watch/v33x13dnTf/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/V6RPz7HiiMhrBsfn/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vvEuMCm7We6fitZ9/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/jE1utxkfNLeKEM9S/ Park Rangers in Chimney Rock managed to get the flag raised up again...  
    • I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.
