Steve Lee had one hell of a pair of shoes to fill. The band chose carefully and I think they pulled it it off for the most part. The song writer aspect is one that cannot be replaced. Still the same, this sounds pretty good.

You are actually mistaken for once, mate - there are 14 tracks on the regular edition and 16 tracks on the limited edition (which I pre-ordered) ;)

You know I was kidding, right? Love all the work you put into your posts to deliver us a LOT of great information!

 

On a side-note: The guys from the band describe this disc as sort of a follow-up to Lipservice and apparantely "Thank you" is an over 10 minutes long epic. Quite a lengthy disc it is actually...

A follow-up to "Lipservice"? That first song doesn't remind me at all of the awesome "Lipservice". I hope this is good.

 

Yeah, for real, though. They've got a long way to go to meet the standard of "Lipservice."

It's okay. Not a great song, not a bad song. Better already than anything off the last disc, I think.

 

Haha, I was looking through the posts and I saw the initial 10 song track list and I thought to myself, 'Smart kids.' Then I saw the next posts stating 14-16 songs, with a 10 minute song included and I wanted to shoot myself.

 

Way, way too many bands release way, way too many songs. Brilliant if you're a H.E.A.T or the like of the genre, but for most bands it's just stupid and only exposes their weaknesses. Without hearing anything more than that one song from this CD, I know for a fact that a 10 song album would have been a much smarter idea than an overlong disc with too much on it. I hope dearly they prove me wrong, but people need to refer to the quality over quantity thing a lot more these days.

Yeah, but when a band releases a 10 song album, people piss and moan the album is too short. Simple fact is, if you release more tracks, yes there is a chance of weaker tracks, but its also more for your money and sometimes the bonus songs are the better songs anyway. Who is to say that the 10 song album would have been the best 10 songs?

Yeah, bands need to send advance recordings to me and I'll decide the final 10 cuts, every time without hesitation. I don't trust they'd do it right, but I'd be happy to take on the gig.

 

For the record I am not one who pisses and moans about 10 track albums being too short. There are of course exceptions where you wish a particular band released a 50 track box set instead of a single CD, but those times are infrequent.

Honest to goodness, when I buy an album thats 10 songs that last an average of 3.5 mins each, and the album is over in 35 mins, I feel cheated.

If its 10 tracks that take an album to around the 1 hour mark, I can live with that. But nothing worse than listening to a great album and its over almost as soon as it starts.

What about when it's four tracks, and almost maxes out the 80 minute limit?

Yeah, sorry dudes, but length of songs is completely irrelevant to me and literally plays 0 role in how good a song or a CD is. Well, that's not correct because on the other end of the spectrum, I actually dislike songs that outstay their welcome and actually really prefer short, to-the-point songs.

 

No offence, but a 10 track album clocking in at 1 hour, meaning each song averages around 6mins, is actually my idea of pure torture. :(

Not holding out much hope for this album I'm afraid - the early reports are not sounding good. Better than Firebirth granted, but nowhere near the old classic Gotthard sound - we will see.

Cant say I have ever owned any albums like that, but then again I dont listen to prog.

Something like that though to me sounds boring as arseholes, as that must sound so repetitive. Hell, a 10 minute song can be too much unless handled right.

You at least need a bit of variety in an album, and I dont see how 4 songs could do that.

but thats not even correct as average doesnt mean that the songs "are" all 6 mins long.

A band could easily have a couple of longer songs, like 8-10 mins each, and the rest clock in at around 3 mins or so.

That said, 6 mins is hardly that long for a song.

Hell, going on another topic, Karma by Winger had 3 songs that were between 6 and 7 mins each and a bunch of songs that were around 3 to 4 mins.

If you take out that naff instrumental tacked on at the end, thats 10 songs at nearly 45 mins. It would have only taken the songs that were less than four mins to be extended to 4 mins, and the album would have been more in the line of 50 mins. Thats 3 songs at plus six mins, and the rest at a standard 4 mins each. Is that really torture?

      Framing the Red / Southern Hard Rock with a dash of sleaze

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      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.

      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.

      Eclipse - Megalomanium ll

      By tts42572 · Posted

      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.
