Haha, I know there's a lot of fans of this band here and I'm genuinely happy for them. The band were only ever okay to me but I'll definitely look forward to hearing the new disc to hear what they come up with.

Can't.... .fucking.....wait

 

Ditto. Doug is only involved, IMO, with quality music. One of the best guitarist on the planet. Enjoyed the two previous albums, should be more of the same.

Heavier than Killthec*ntandeathim or whatever modern hardcore band you're listening to this week? You puzzling, puzzling man. ;)

 

Not a bad CD, this one, and I expect fans to enjoy it. For me, I thought it was a little average. Solid for what it is, but average. I like 'Sweet little baby thing' and 'The cure,' as well as a couple of the ballads in 'Made for your heart' and 'When can I believe in love.'

 

Anyway, overall there's a few solid rockers, a handful of weak ballads, and those tracks that stand out for me. It's not bad...

Pre Ordered this on Amazon for $9.99.

 

Did you get this one yet? How is the packaging? It is still listed for $9.99 so I may pull the trigger if it is packaged worth a damn.

Just got it and it's a digi pack with some photos inside the package and then a seperate booklet with lyrics and thank you's so it's a nice pacakging IMO.

Cool, I'll grab it with my next order. Thanks for the info.

It's been a while since their last album and I'm pretty satisfied with 'Epic Obsession', at least inline with what I expected so far, although at some part, this sound like a Whitesnake leftover, maybe they need to tweak a bit by adding a more original approach.

 

Almost all songs are pretty much acceptable, with highlights being 'Sweet Little Baby Thing', 'Till You Die' [a heavy stuff but very Whitesnake-ish], 'Pray Out Loud', 'Too Hard To Break' - a very nice radio friendly track, 'Made For Your Heart' - a sensational commercial ballad, love this one!, and the last piano ballad, 'When Can I Believe In Love' is cool too.

 

The fourth track, 'Heaven Gets Me By', is probably the weakest filler, and 'Ride The Monkey' could have been better. 'Out In The Cold Again' suffered with an average verse but getting better at chorus. 'My Lust Your Fate' has incredible riffs, but the chorus just didn't get there, good ain't great stuff.

 

Production is very solid, I gave a 9 for that one. Musicianship is top notch, vocal is awesome and the guitars are monstrous, replay value is high of course, love what I heard so far, but around 4-5 tracks didn't pass the 8/10 mark, maybe grow with more spins, but great album nevertheless.

    • 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.
