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?

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............

      Constancia - IV Evermore

      By Stefan · Posted

      New album 'IV Evermore' out August 30th on Pride & Joy Music: Constancia was formed in 2007 by former Token keyboardist Mikael Rosengren. He got in touch with guitarist Janne Stark (Overdrive, Grand Design, Locomotive Breath, Merryweather Stark etc) and asked him to lay down some guitars. Janne loved the songs and got more and more involved in the process, and the seeds of Constancia were sown. Peter “TrumPeter” Svensson (Mercy, Faith, Overheat, Locomotive Breath, Mountain of Power) came in on drums and the band was completed with bass player Michael Müller (Jaded Heart) and singer David Fremberg (Andromeda), and in 2009 the band’s debut “Lost And Gone” was released. The band labels their music “melogressive hard rock” – melodic, a bit progressive and a little bit aggressive In 2015, the band’s second album “Final Curtain” was released in a regular and special edition (featuring three bonus tracks). The album saw Linus Abrahamson (Andromeda) replacing Müller. Maintaining the six-year gap, the band’s third album “Brave New World” was released in 2021. The album saw UK based singer Pete Godfrey (In Faith, Blood Red Saints) replacing David Fremberg (who was too busy with his studio and other projects). Breaking the six-year gap, the band has managed to finish a new album in only three years!! “IV Evermore” (yes, there’s a pun in there) features twelve new songs that show the band at an even higher level. This time the “melogressive” label fits even better, with some songs having an even more aggressive punch with some heavier riffs yet maintaining the high degree of melodies and hooks. A song like “Build This House” could probably have been a big hit back in the 80s (and there may still be some fans of classic epic melodic pompyness out there), while a song such as “Evermore” displays some heavy, crunchy and detuned guitars. Then there’s the melancholic “Rise” and “Tears I Cry” which takes you on an emotional and musical journey. Overall, there’s a bit more power in the mix and the heaviness has definitely been pushed up a notch. This time Janne mixed and mastered the album with remote tips from his longtime friend and colleague Mikael Nord Andersson (Scorpions, The Rasmus, Roxette, BALLS etc.) and Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica). Constancia is: Pete Godfrey – Vocals; Janne Stark – Guitars and bass; Mikael Rosengren – Keyboards; Peter “TrumPeter” Svensson – Drums The album was mixed and mastered by Janne Stark (The Re-Stoned, Maat Lander, Magnolia, Overdrive, Bandolier Kings etc).

      I've done a few now and they're all coming out Killer like that. Like you said, keep it simple.  Keep the details for the lyrical content. We've been working at the Melbourne Knights soccer ground for the last couple of weeks. This is the first track I did on Friday. When it spat this out after 6 seconds, I was immediately hooked. This site blows me away!   https://suno.com/song/893c3e55-574c-4904-8175-24592342a696

      Dangerous Curves - It ain't love (new single)

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      Still havent picked up the last one. It came out during the peak of my illness, and when I finally realised there even was a follow up to So dirty right, the postage costs had spiked. Saying that, don't think I have ever seen their debut album for sale. I didn't even find out they existed til So dirty.
