Lovebite - Lock n Load


Glen

Recommended Posts

Well I did a quick search and am surprised that we never started a thread on these guys.....or maybe we did & I just cant find it??

 

Anyway, for me this is the second best sleaze moment this year after Peepshow. Great rocking stuff with absolute killer solos throughout. The singer will be an acquired taste for many and in fact probably accounts for a loss of between 0.25 to 0.50% per song..............here's a quick summary.

 

1. Sin City (8.5) - Great rocking sleazy opener. Riff

2. Breakin' The Rules (7.5) - Another rocking sleaze tune, but the hook is average

3. Love/Hate (7.0) - Solid sleaze rocker

4. Hey Baby (9.0) - Pretty killer balladic / sleaze rocker..starts out acoustic, but great chorus and killer solos! Bags of passion.

5. Gonna Love You Anyway (8.0) - classic riff in that pre chorus. Another solid rocker

6. Lock n Load (7.5) - good rocker but again the hook could be better

7. Queen Of Hearts (9.0) - what a riff! very cool rocker with killer solos. nothing more.

8. Can't Fight Your Love (9.5) - most melodic song on offer. really very good pre & chorus hook. Again the solos are just perfect.

9. Striptease (8.0) - cool Motley Crue styled rocker

10. Mr Lonely (8.25) - great rocker with a hint of Vain. Slightly spoiled by some silly screaming at the end.

11. Too Much Is Never Enough (9.0) - killer intro into another great rocker - good way to end.

 

 

Overall : 83%

I hate to agree with Glen twice in one month (;)) but I've just listened to 'Sin City' and I'm seriously impressed. Couple of other songs I played were pretty good and and I'm with you on the guitar solos; they rock like bastards! Nice.

Is this one easy to find?

 

I'm sick of all of these cool sleaze albums that are crazy expensive and hard to find.

I also bought it directly from the band. Its also available over at musicbuymail. Don't remember it being that expensive.

Pretty similar rating from me. Not quite as high, but close enough:

 

01. No Turning Back - intro -

02. Sin City - killer riff driven hard rock opener - 8.50

03. Breakin' The Rules - solid hard rocker, but with not much of a chorus - 7.25

04. Love/Hate - solid hard rocker - 7.25

05. Hey Baby - very nice balladic tune with a great hook - 8.00

06. Gonna Love You Anyway - another solid hard rocker with only an okay chorus / hook - 7.25

07. Lock 'N' Load - pretty killer hard rocker - 8.25

08. Queen Of Hearts - solid hard rocker, but again a pretty weak hook - 7.25

09. Can't Fight Your Love - good hard rocker with a cool chorus - 8.25

10. Striptease - solid hard rocker - 7.00

11. Mr. Lonely - good catchy hard rocker - 8.00

12. Too Much Is Never Enough - kind of a lyrical jumble, but a cool hard rocker - 7.50

 

TOTAL SCORE - 77%

 

I really like it. Pure and simple, but really good for what it is. I agree with Glen that the vocals aren't super, but it' a great debut.

Yeah, agreed........but is the title track really as good as 'Can't Fight Your Love'? imo that is easily the best track...head and shoulders above the rest...really great pre chorus, and chorus, and the solos are excellent.

Just listened to them both back to back and yeah, maybe I agree. A few extra points wouldn't go astray on 'Can't fight your love.' I do love the chorus line hook of the title track, though.

Might give this one a miss and just download Sin City ... I listened to Love/Hate and Lock n Load and didn't think they were that great. I'd love to listen to the other songs you rate highly, Glen, which might persuade me to buy the CD but can't seem to find them online and I can't afford to take a punt on a CD I might not like these days...

I reckon I'll probably love this, it's just frustrating that I can't listen to, for example, 'Can't Fight Your Love' and 'Mr. Lonely' because they are not available to play online anywere. This ought to be a lesson for bands: I am far more likely to buy a CD these days when I have been able to listen to at least 5 or 6 tracks. I'm sure I'm not the only one, I'll bet there are many other people in the same boat, especially as disposable income is so low at the moment. So my last purchase of the year was Suicide Bombers, which sounds great and I was able to listen to several songs before taking the plunge. Just a thought.

I generally won't buy a cd without listening to at LEAST 5-6 tracks. There are some bands I would buy blindly....Crashdiet, Shakra, HCSS for example, but in general gotta hear a lot of tracks to spend the money...especially since some of these CD's are reaching that $20 range.

Agreed, mate. I know that's not a queue for an "it's okay to download" comment, but unless you're earning billions and have spare millions to throw around, there's just way too much music to buy everything that could possibly be good. Like you, I have my bands I buy blindly, but otherwise, these days I need a full album to judge if it's worth buying or not. There are just waaaay too many releases to consider...

 

And James, craziest thing. I found a site last night with 'Can't fight your love' available to play. Just googled it again and it didn't appear in my browser at all. What a real puzzle?

James (and Geoff), here's Can't Fight For Love (& 2 more tracks):

 

https://soundcloud.c...fight-your-love

 

That's the one! I found it 2 nights ago but couldn't find it last night. How odd. Thanks for the mystery solvation.

I got a reply a few months back when I asked the question. Pretty damn expensive, though. Just found it. It was £13.29.

 

Does that include P+P to Oz? If so looks reasonable to me............

    • Haha, thanks mate. I'm pretty fond of that one too.  I think I've said it a few times in this thread, but I don't think AI is a threat to "real" music whatsoever. Sorry, I know I'm repeating myself, but I could see a world where it has a significant impact on dance music and music that is already, for lack of a better term, created artificially anyway.  And I am amazed by, and love what it can do with rock/metal music, but it's still got nothing on what a group of four or five like-minded individuals can come up with, or most notably, a song-writer with a great voice. Or even a good voice.  I have some deeper cuts in my newer material and I am happy enough with the results but it still sounds like AI emotive, absolutely no comparison at all to a real dude pouring his heart out with his own delivery and melodic structure, straight from a songwriter's brain. And as cool as the music is, you listen to a heap of AI and then you put on just one or two top-end favourite bands and you're all like, oh, yeah, AI definitely can't do that. All the intricacies like guitar and drum fills, vocal hooks and melodies... if anything AI music has given me more appreciation for great artists. On the flip-side, it makes me view poorer artists in a dimmer light, lol, but it makes me really appreciate the real craftsmen and women a lot more.  lol, speaking of rants.  Ah, I've had this pickle a few times before. I like the chorus better in V1, but the verses better in V2. Usually in this case the chorus (V1) would win out for me.  And hey, thanks for posting these, lol. I was playing them and looked to the side of my screen and noticed I had 50 credits!! Bonus. I wouldn't have checked otherwise. So I guess even if you run out, you still get the standard daily 50 credits that even free users get. Gotta admit, that's a bit of a relief as 14 more days of nothing was going to be tough. And at last 50 keeps me well limited too. I might not even get one keeper song with 50 credits the way I've been going recently.    
    • Darkstone - Heart Of Steel (2024)   Well, here's two versions of song number 9.   https://suno.com/song/4e549a3d-d7e6-4e8c-a022-ae96830014b3   https://suno.com/song/331b2d37-cb0f-4006-8d93-c8bb69e4df8a
    • Ooh, thanks for the reminder. I should give the full thing a listen. 
    • Goodbye Windows - Corrosion of Conformity
    • Fear Is the Mindkiller - Fear Factory
    • I’m really liking this release. More guitar on it than I expected!
    • Might be worth looking into
