Tango Down - Charming Devil


Stefan

Recommended Posts

  • 7 months later...

I just recently gave Tango Down a look since I saw they were on the roster for Melodic Rock Fest 4 the day I'm going....

 

Not sure why I never paid any attention to them in the past...Think I was caught up with H.e.a.t's Address The Nation album too much in 2012 or something.

 

Anyways..I recently bought the Identity Crisis CD pretty much on a whim after hearing one or two songs that intrigued me. Gotta say I'm pretty impressed with the whole album overall and it's grown on me. It's sorta fallen into the slightly heavier, 80's influenced, melodic rock category that I like....not too far away from something like what H.e.a.t has done with their past 2 albums. I wouldn't put it quite in the same league as H.e.a.t...But it still sounds pretty good to my ears. Tunes like Alone, Back To Life, Cryin' To Me sorta reeled me in and also really like the mid-tempo song Corners of My Mind.

 

Now looking forward to seeing these guys at MRF4 and seeing how the new album follows up Identity Crisis. I think the new album is due out in early August.

Title track from the upcoming album.

 

Not groundbreaking but doesn't sound too bad to me. Definitely 80's inspired melodic rock :)

I think it sounds great! I don't need "ground breaking" I like what I like, and I like it!

Sounding pretty good. Think it sounds a tiny bit on the heavier side of the spectrum.

 

Looking forward to the album.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I agree that it is on the heavier side. But the album as a whole is still very much what you would expect from the band. I would say that Change My World is their heaviest song they have in their whole catalog. But there are plenty of non heavy songs as well. Check out the title track someone posted above. The album is full of anthems, upbeat songs and two epic ballads. A very well versed album. We just wanted to show people something a lil more in your face and surprise people a little.

    • Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think. 
    • H.E.A.T - 1000 Miles Vega - Hands In The Air The Defiants - Stay Issa - River of Love I'm at work right now so that's all I know off the top of my head but I'll look through my library for more when I get a chance.
    • Maybe anything by the Darkness
    • Wig wam - hard to be a rock n roller
    • Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:  
    • I want to compile quite an extensive playlist of hard rock songs that has a key change in the end. Why? Cause I think it sounds awesome Some well known exambles are: Bon Jovi - Living On a Prayer Wig Wam - In My Dreams Danger Danger - Don't Blame it on Love H.E.A.T - Beg Beg Beg
    • My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums. 
    • New song 'Unbreakable'.    
    • Solid hard rock album. Nothing really stood out to me, but it’s solid.
