Where are you guys hearing Night by Night? Their website says the album isn't out until July.

Yeah, I was wondering the same.

 

 

There is a promo copy floating around the internets.

Confess and the dirty skirty cds are killer and are fighting for the #1 slot. Winger, Red Dragon Cartel and House of Lords round out the Top 5.

Big HOL fan anyway, but yes in my top 5 so far this year.

I've tried a few things on your list....Haven't really found much that has interested me in 2014 outside of H.e.a.t's Tearing Down the Walls album.....

 

I think my main problem is that I'm so into that album that everything else is sounding inferior to me. That album just aligns perfectly with my tastes these days.

 

I'll probably give some of these other things more of a fighting chance as the year moves on.

Everybody got different taste but good thing is if you still want to try new albums.

Why don't you put your own top 20 or top 30 list and it's always interesting to see people's opinion on particular albums :)

Judas Priest rated very highly there bro, it's a good album, better than 3-4 last albums but I found myself still struggling at least 4-5 tracks. I still came far behind with it, around 76%, but might climb to 80%

 

What genre is Devil's Run ? heavy metal ?

Devil's Run used to be called TAKING DAWN. They are modern melodic hard rock.

You're welcome!! :banger:

 

Arnt they the same songs from the Taking Dawn album with a different singer?

 

 

I believe there are 6 new songs and 5 re-recordings off of Taking Dawn's "Time To Burn".

Wow, thanks for the Devil's Run tip. I didn't know about them. Nice.

 

Anyway, it's the halfway mark of the year and I'm basically up to date. Gotta say, if I'm being honest, it's a solid, but pretty uninspiring list outside of the top 10. Hoping for an influx of quality in the 2nd half of 2014.

 

1 - Night By Night - NxN - 89
2 - Brother Firetribe - Diamond In The Firepit - 88
3 - Steel Panther - All You Can Eat - 87
4 - Michael Paynter - Weary Stars - 87
5 - States Of Panic - No World Order - 87
6 - Loud Lion - Die Tough - 87
7 - H.E.A.T - Tearing Down The Walls - 83
8 - Free Spirit - All The Shades of Darkened Light - 82
9 - Laney's Legion - Laney's Legion - 82
10 - 5 Seconds Of Summer - 5 Seconds Of Summer - 82
11 - Dorydrive - Here's To You - 82
12 - Confess - Jail - 80
13 - The Relapse Symphony - Shadows - 80

    • I have a few (two, maybe three?) friends on here who know me and my ongoing fascination with ballads and power ballads. I thought i'd catch you up on the project. As a teen I made a collection of 10 or so mix tapes which i named "Mellow Metal," which looking back makes me chuckle. While the title's alliteration was pleasing to the ears, many of the songs included on the tapes were hardly metal. Ballads by Cheap Trick, Heart, and other such outliers were included in the collection. In August of 2020 i began my journey of an online project by starting a list of every ballad i knew by AOR, Hard Rocks, Heavy Metal, and Hair Metal acts. I crafted criteria for "What Makes a Power Ballad," and the list began to grow. Quickly. In December of that year i lost my oldest son to an overdose, and my enthusiasm and passion for that project evaporated. In the ensuing months, the original domain lapsed and i remained uninspired. The project died. Three years later, I was looking for something to bring me joy — so i revived the project with a new domain of thepowerballadz.com. I began to once again make posts online asking for song suggestions and i realized i had real trouble selling my song choices as POWER BALLADS. People rightfully pushed me on my song choices, and i realized that the term POWER BALLAD was too ... focused. I realized i wanted all mellow songs by bands that i love ... some of which are power ballads, some are just ballads, and yet some aren't even ballads ... just mellow songs. So, I've retooled my criteria from determining what a POWER BALLAD is to determining what songs make the cut to be on my list. I've also decided that the title thepowerballadz isn't working anymore ... so I've gone with theballadz.com. Is that a perfect moniker? Probably not. (Got a better idea? Let me know!) So, HERE is a link to the updated website and HERE is a link to the updated criteria. I'd love to hear thoughts from any ballad (power ballad or not) fans. Thanks guys!  
    • Frontiers Music srl  prosedSont76hm5um5ctgc1ati1lf88hfuh1a11070a0l90823g4u13m87i8  ·     Welcome PHIL X & THE DRILLS! An LA session legend and Bon Jovi’s guitarist since 2016, Phil X has rocked with icons like Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, and Canadian legends Triumph and Theory Of A Deadman. Get ready for Phil X & The Drills explosive new album, "Pow!! Right in the Kisser"—a powerhouse of guitar-driven rock! Coming soon! Stay tuned for updates!     Hopefully he will be playing actual rock music instead of Bon Jovi type cack.
    • I guarantee that virtually nobody here will like this, as it is death metal, but interesting and innovative choices in instrumentation and composition intrigue me. When this song hits the breakdown it takes on very interesting vibe IMO.  
    • New song 'The Nero Decree' featuring Marty Friedman on lead guitar, Ralph Sheepers on vocals, Fredrik Folkare on rhythm guitars, Steve Mann on keyboards, Barend Courbois on bass, Bodo Schopf on drums.
