Honestly could not give a toss about the two non-Bach Skid Row albums. A couple of passable tunes on both, but nothing I would be upset about if I never heard them again.

Subhuman is the worst of the 3 Bach ones for me, but its still a great album. I probably prefer the self titled album over Slave as I prefer the more commercial/melodic sound, but Slave is also an amazing album.

The last two Bach albums are 1000 times better than the last two Skid Row albums.

Don't get me wrong. I like SHR but it isn't the perfection that is STTG. Put the crack pipe down dude.

 

Crack pipe? Nah, I will pass. I will take a shot of SHR though...

Agree 1000%

 

I actually prefer 'Thickskin' to both. I do actually like that CD plenty. But yeah, the Bach albums are better than 'RPM' for sure.

What sayest thou? Sounds pretty durn good to me. But as I mentioned, I'm one of maybe a dozen people (tops) who liked Revolutions Per Minute so obviously I'm easily amused. :D

Nope but if you haven't noticed that's mainly what my website is about. ;)

Been spinning this lately:

 

1. Kings Of Demolition -- 9.0/10 -- excellent "back to the old sound" track

2. Let's Go -- 7.0/10 -- this is an okay track; kinda mixes the old Skid Row with RPM

3. This Is Killing Me -- 8.5/10 -- pretty good ballad kinda reminding me of Thickskin again especially the chorus

4. Get Up -- 7.0/10 -- another RPM kinda track; chorus sucks (to me it's sorta a generic rip-off off Beautiful Creatures "Step Back")

5. Stitches -- 7.5/10 -- another RPM sounding track mixed with SHR; not bad but not great

 

So we have one kickass rocker; one killer slow track; and 3 mediocre tracks. A step in the right direction but not nearly as good as the Bach years

I should love it then since we rarely agree ;)

This is a good album, considering their last two heavy punky albums which not really suit my taste, but with only 5 songs, the score could be volatile. I think 'Get Up' is the worst track and I kinda dig 'This Is Killing Me', which is a great power ballad. Second best track here is 'Let's Go' which has great chorus and riffs, and the rest are quite okay. Production is balance and great and musicianship is pretty much satisfying. Good album but I guess we need a full album and more varied, perhaps two more melodic stuffs, another 80s style ballad, and maybe two more 'Youth Gone Wild' rebellious style. A good turnaround and hopefully the full length album later will be better

Interestingly the UK version appears to be being released via EMI on the 27th, and it has two extra tracks, "Fire fire" (Ezo cover) & "United" (Judas Priest cover).

Hmm very interesting. They are gonna fuck around and release an album instead of ep :)

Well, I cannot agree with you on that, but probably not a surprise since we vastly differ in our opinions of Skid Row as I think of Slave To The Grind to be a top all time album and Subhuman Race forgettable at best (maybe I should try to sping it again...it's been years).

Slave could be my fave on some days as I love it as well. SHR is just Slave on steroids and is heavy as hell. Play it when you crave something heavier to give it a fair shot,

    • 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.  
    • So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin
    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • 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.
