Dudes, what's the Night By Night album? I assume there's a thread somewhere? Only seen the EP so far, but would love to hear a full disc. I also have HEAT lined up for tomorrow. So, pre-HEAT, my top 10 so far would be (no EPs, of which there are already several good ones);

 

1 - Steel Panther - All You Can Eat
2 - States Of Panic - No World Order
3 - Michael Paynter - Weary Stars
4 - LRS - Down To The Core
5 - Dorydrive - Here's To You
6 - Free Spirit - All The Shades of Darkened Light
7 - Confess - Jail
8 - Within Temptation - Hydra
9 - Switchblade Serenade - Alive At Night
10 - Pretty Wild - Pretty Wild
For my peace of mind, why has States of Panic not been mentioned by anyone else? Do people not like it, or has it not been heard? This is, of course, Peepshow's new band name, and their new CD this year. Not as good as 'Brand new breed,' imo, but not far off it. A really good disc, and very close to Steel Panther in quality.

Gleonard must've been real upset when he saw LRS on that list, 'cause it took him twelve minutes before he realized it was placed higher than Confess.

Roland, I was phoning Geoff to put him straight.

Let me just clarify that I do like LRS but its not as good as confess. It is a pretty decent AOR album though. Didnt want to put folk off tis all.

 

Over and out.

Thanks heaps mate, really appreciate it. Can't wait to hear it.

 

As for LRS and Confess, don't worry yet, guys. Nothing is concrete yet... just my initial thoughts. I really love the Confess disc but when I broke it down track by track I noticed there were a few kind of standard rockers amongst the deadset f*cking gems. I haven't properly dissected LRS yet to be honest, but I really liked the sound of it. Love that dude's voice...

 

Anyway, don't crucify me yet. I'll give a more accurate list later in the year.

Haven't heard that one yet.

 

Is there a physical release out? If so, where can I order?

That's four more than I've heard. :lol:

 

I'm also curious how y'all come up with these oddly specific "number" grades... for example, Babylon A.D. gets a 74%...how is that different from a 73% or a 75%?

They've all adapted Geoffrey's system; they rate each track out of 10, and then take the average. Intros, interludes, and instrumentals don't get graded.

This!

Haha, yeah, I can't take credit for that, dudes. I think it's brilliant and the most accurate way to rate a complete album on the merit of all of it's tracks, but it wasn't me who did it first. It was someone else here that started the trend. I want to say Tim (2) or maybe even Glen? Not sure. Whoever it is, it's done wonders for finally getting some accuracy and order into the music I listen to. Diggit.

 

For the record, my top 10 today:

 

1 - Night By Night - NxN - 89%
2 - Steel Panther - All You Can Eat - 87%
3 - States Of Panic - No World Order - 86%
4 - Michael Paynter - Weary Stars - 86%
5 - H.E.A.T - Tearing Down The Walls - 83%
6 - Free Spirit - All The Shades of Darkened Light - 82%
7 - Dorydrive - Here's To You - 82%
8 - Confess - Jail - 80%
9 - L.R.S - Down To The Core - 80%
10 - Within Temptation - Hydra - 79%

Crappy system :rolleyes: If it doesn't rate, for example, Journey's Kohoutek :whistle:

An update with the Three Lions disc added and an upgrade to the Free Spirit disc's rating. I actually screwed up the math on that one and it really deserved a 82% instead of the 78% I had initially graded it.

Thanks mate, but I'm good. If I really need to listen to anything, I know where to get it. For the most part, I'm still waiting for the ones I'm interested in.

    • Just as a heads-up, FNAC (France) is blowing out the CD version for 72,99 euros: https://www.fnac.com/a17131710/Guns-N-Roses-Use-Your-Illusion-I-et-II-Edition-Limitee-Coffret-Super-Deluxe-CD-album For those in the USA, the shipping is reasonable. Removing the VAT and adding shipping made the total US$77.90 delivered. At that price, I figured it was worth a flyer. It just was delivered today via DHL, 7 days from placing order to delivery, in an oversized box with custom foam inserts to keep it from getting damaged in transit. The thing is fucking huge and heavy. At the original price, or even the current Amazon price of US$196, I would say HELL NO, but at this price, I think it's worth it.  
    • I LOVE the callback to the debut in that artwork. Beautiful!
    • Glamfest is done. Couldn't make it financially viable. But their Facebook page promoted the potential tyketto tour. Not sure if they are handling the tour or just doing a nice thing. Time will tell. Didn't know The Used had been out before, missed that in the past. Hopefully I'll be around when they come out and can catch them.maybe they will support tyketto?
    • Is Glamfest meant to happen again? I’m assuming probably definitely not… well at least not same time as it was last couple of years. That’s a shame.    The Used used to come out all the time for stuff like Soundwave and Warped tour and stuff, if I recall correctly. Haven’t seen them for several years now, and they haven’t put out much music in that time either. Couple of good cuts on their latest album, though. 
    • Tyketto returning to Australia. Also The Used coming out here. Both tours teased but not announced yet.
    • I watched the videos today... I dunno what to make of it. On one hand I don't think it's worth all the fuss, but I guess it gets a bit awkward due to the fact he is an actual vocal coach. Not a great look but I guess this is what happens these days. Just maybe not quite as common amongst vocal coaches, though... 
    • I might try V4 again when I get credits again, but like I said above, also a bit keen to finish all the V3.5 stuff with V3.5. In saying that, though, I would be sad if V4 got good while I wasn't watching and did myself a disservice.  100% with you on that remaster wish. If they could accomplish that it would be dreamy. I still have so, so many results that are really cool, but I'm so down on the audio quality that I don't know what to do with them. Continually trying to cover them doesn't seem to work 99% of the time, plus you lose the end and have to recreate the entire end to the song.  Like you say, just to be able to keep everything about the song as it is, but get an awesome new remaster; it'd be perfect.  Haha, I was just thinking today I need to fix up my bandcamp page, lol. I put a band pic on there but wrote immediately underneath that it was just to create a vibe... but I haven't used it anywhere else and realised it wasn't an avenue I'll be pursuing.  Thanks! Yeah, I must admit that back when I was writing all those lyrics I always thought that one day I'd put the effort in, learn guitar and at least create some basic versions of those songs. That, of course, faded through the years, but this is the most ideal case scenario for someone in this position.  I still think most of my 200 tunes will probably remain unreleased, but I don't know. I go back and forth with it. Right now, just trying to sort through my 2001 songs and there's way more than one album from these sessions I'll want to release. If I could get the audio where I want it, possibly as many as three albums from just the 2001 sessions I'd be happy to release... but still all baby steps. Still several 2001 tracks I've not yet completed as I can't find them in my Library, lol. Even after cleaning it up a bit...  But yeah, I have always loved music a lot. I always said my three passions in life were photography, surfing and music but the music one always seemed a bit silly as it was just my love for listening to it, but it's awesome to finally get something tangible out of this love of mine too. I actually already miss writing new tunes while I'm trying to clear this whole backlog - cannot wait until I can just concentrate on the new stuff. I think some of my new songs from this year are actually pretty good - pretty "personal," though, which will be interesting to see how I handle when the time comes... Hmmm, tight. I thought I preferred #1 but back to back maybe the new one just edges it out, for me. I do like the chorus in V2 better. Two nice results, though. 
    • Its the first & 2nd albums (Wildstreet & Wildstreet II) as a single release titled Origins as far as I've read,along with some rarities. https://www.eonianrecords.com/blog/wildstreet-release-origins
