Not sure if I'm detecting sarcasm, or not, but what more do we want from him? He's good at what he does.

 

yeah slight sarcasm I guess....

 

Just amazed he can keep coming up with these songs -

 

Some more Stan inspiro rockers -

 

Never Hold Back

Dream The Dream

More Than A Miracle

I'll Never Fall

Take It All The Way

Have You Ever Believed

The Chance You Take

When I Dream

Dont Let Them Down

Never Stop Writing This Song

Hold Your Head Up High

Never Surrender

Dreamin

Capture The Dream

 

 

I just think he might have exhausted the subject by now that's all ;-))

I'd argue that subject can't be exhausted. We all long to feel good and fulfill our dreams. That subject really never seems to ever leave our mind.

He is probably interested in the philosophy of sleep, a subject that scares a lot many philosophers, once Nietzsche wrote sarcastically " blessed are the sleepy ones for they shall soon drop off". Nothing is certain for sleep except that we get sleepy. Perhaps Stan is exploring the functions of the mind during sleep, apparently he has a lot of vivid images and memories- a sign that his mind doesn't stop thinking during sleep and can lay down memories of his thoughts. :whistle:

 

I can't wait really for his new one. His latest 2 were great.

God, I listened to the samples of this last night and I stand by my previous comments! - lyrics are almost unbearable on every song.....hold onto this, live up to that, dream the other.....ye Gods.

 

Soooo cheesey.

 

Zzzzzz

 

I'll give it a listen if it makes it onto Spotify, but I cant see me buying this.

Well at least we definitely agree on this, Glen. As I've said before, stupid f*cking lyrics like this are only one step above christian lyrics... and only just.

 

It's so mind numbingly stupid and banal that I want to rip my teeth out and throw them at things. That said, he still writes an okay hook here and there, but seriously, what a simple, simple mind this guy must have. Are you serious about the 'Never give up' bonus track? Sickening...

Received the Stan Bush CD last week sometime.

 

First track is really good. Very old-school AOR'ish with a big hook.

 

The rest of the album just kinda drags along (for me). Not bad by any means, but nothing that really stands out. All very monochromatic / vanilla.

 

Second that. I think it's a safe AOR, enjoyable though but maybe just way too safe. I rated it around 79%, still quite good but probably will wear down after couple spins. Really like 'The Journey' though

It maybe a bit safe and paint it by numbers in places, but almost unlistenable??? I'm taking it you've listened to it all?

Unfortunately yes. Unbearably cheesy.

lol, harsh. I gotta say, I kinda dug this. Yes it's a walking cliche and you know every stupid lyric he sings before it's out of his mouth, but for what it is, I admit it... I like it. I really liked 'The journey,' The memory of you' and 'Unstoppable.'

 

The lyrics are woeful, but Stan can just be grateful there is still christian rock out there. I think I heard this about the same time I heard the new Kutless album. I actually wished I was dead a few times while I was listening to the mind numbing garbage the morons in Kutless were spitting out, and by comparison, this almost seemed intelligent. Almost... haha. It's still idiotic, but harmless idiotic. Around that safe 75% mark kind of album, but a nice one.

    • New song 'The End Of Time'.    
    • New video for 'Without You'.    
    • 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.
