First album was good, without being spectacular and showed a lot of promise...cross fingers for album 2

Other than a few so-so tracks and one super weak ass ballad this was one pretty solid release. If you like older H.E.A.T. and Work Of Art you`ll like Wigelius.

Jeez, I think you guys are talking down the debut a bit. Like Dave says, a couple of clunkers on it, but for the most part I absolutely loved the thing. One of the most exciting releases in that year for sure.

 

This is at the moment, easily, my most anticipated release for the year now. So glad to see them still going as I feared it might be a once off, the debut.

 

If you're impatient like me, try this. Shit sound but you get a feel for the new song, which does sound killer:

Seriously many of our fave bands have bad names.

 

Poodles, Wig Wam, H.E.A.T., Find Me, Pretty Maids, Lionsville those are all pretty weak names and I`m sure there are plenty more.

Very true, though I don't think H.e.a.t is a weak name. But I don't know why it's stylized that way.

If 'Please, please, please' and 'These Tears I Cry' are anything to go by, these guys will be owners of the best album of 2014, by an uncontested mile. Pure brilliance. We've been talking of perfection lately. If you want to hear melodic rock / AOR done to complete, flawless and utter perfection, look no further than 'These tears I cry':

And 'Please, please, please' is a killer tune too. Jeez I love these guys. By miles, my most anticipated album of 2014 now that Steel Panther is on the shelves.

Both of these tracks were already posted, and properly embedded. But do your thing, Geoffrey.

Really, how'd I miss them? Ha! It's weird, no matter what I do, I can't, as you say, "embed" these videos. It always just comes up as those links as above. Weird, as I used to do it all the time. :(

Oh wow, here it is. How'd I miss all this action? I totally skipped over it...

    • Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin.  Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it. I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty. For obvious reasons, I love this album. Here's a couple of tracks.      
    • Harpsichord.    I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.
    • From their FB page: Alcatrazz wish to make the following announcement: Back in late 2020 the brilliant Doogie White came in to help us out with our then already booked live dates after the departure of the previous vocalist (those dates were ultimately postponed to late 2021 due to the Covid lockdowns). We all had a GREAT time...and thus, one thing led to another and before we knew it we had made two fantastic albums and toured considerably in a nearly 4 year period. Now our schedule is getting busier and busier, as is Doogie's with his very fine solo work... and with that, the inevitable clashing of dates in our respective diaries, and needless to say, the impossibility of him being able to be in two places at one time. We remain on very very good terms with Doogie and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the band, he is very welcome on our stage anytime, as are all past Alcatrazz alumni. Current Warlord vocalist and someone already known to many Alcatrazz fans (as co-producer and also contributing songwriter for Alcatrazz's past 3 albums) Giles Lavery will be stepping up for the 2024 live dates - and with that we will be reintroducing many songs from the Alcatrazz past, including some not played in many years. Giles's first show is 22nd of March in New Orleans, lets all make him feel welcome and please lets also give a massive thank you to our dear friend Doogie White for everything he gave to this band since 2020, he is a true pro and a great person! Doogie has a video message to the fans that we will share later today as well. Jimmy, Gary, Joe, Larry.
    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
    • I remember my early days on the internet joining a group on Yahoo (yeah thats how long ago it was) and the woman who created the group was trying to persaude me how great Creed was, so much so that she sent me the first two albums on CD. I had no idea what they sounded like. When I played them all I could think is that they sounded like Pearl Jam, and I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I ended up trading them for something better. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but I somehow shared my CD collection online and she noticed straight away that the Creed CDs were not listed. She asked me why and I said I sold them as really did not like them, and got something I did like. She never spoke to me again after that
