Bands that reformed : Studs and Duds


Recommended Posts

Am I obviously the only one here who only just found out about the Cry Wolf album when looking at this thread. I have truly never even heard of the existence of this '2010' disc a couple of you guys mentioned. How on earth did I miss that?? Just had a look on the main page - the cover is awful and it just looks like it'd be awful. Still can't believe I never heard about it, though...

 

For the record, I'd agree with Ratt's 'Infestation' and Tesla's 'Into the now' and that's about it in this thread. :(

No Whitesnake or Van Halen?

I was just thinking the other day about making this thread. Now this is intended to be for bands that were broken up for at least 10 years. I am looking for bands that reformed and released an excellent cd and ones that released a pile of crap.

 

The awful ones:

 

Shark Island - Gathering Of The Faithful

 

 

 

 

 

I love that Shark Island CD. Wish they'd do another already.

Shy - S/T

 

This is the only great album mentioned in the thread for me and as Glen said, it kind of breaks the rules set by the opening poster. A few okay ones, probably the next best being 'Infestation', but even that was massively inferior to any of the band's first five albums.

Can't agree that this one is poor....."Sebastian Bach - Angel Down (2007)"......

I've really liked the last two Bach albums. I love the heaviness of Angel Down but the production from Roy Z was not good.

Kicking and Screaming had a few filler tunes but songs like Tunnel Vison, My Own Worst Enemy, Dirty Power, the title track and the ballads make up for the fillers and the production is awesome.

Got one! This is probably the only one that fits the bill for me:

 

Suicidal Tendencies - 13

 

Great comeback, almost as good as some of the classic albums from back in the day.

Poor.

 

That album is superb - great songs, great lyrics. Really mature comeback release.

 

 

Now THIS is poor -

 

From The Fire

I thought Kiss Psycho Circus was pretty good, the title track is one of my fav Kiss songs!

 

I agree that Aerosmith (Music From Another Dimension) and Van Halen (A Different Kind of Truth) were both massive disappointments!

Very little mention of the Baby Animals - This is not the end

 

Just stumbled across it. What an excellent album. Sorry I missed this when it was released. Love that band.

 

Woah! Hold the phone - Baby Animals? I need to seek this one out ...

I was really looking forward to hearing a new VH disc ... then I read that a lot of the songs were newly-finished versions of old material that had been lying around for years ... THEN I heard some of the songs ...

 

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement ... I thought the dogs' dinner of 'III' was bad enough ... :(
