Agreed! If they happen to top it, it will be a fantastic 2nd album!!!

'Access Denied' is close to amazing. 'Shanghaied,' 'Hit me with your bombs,' 'Wild Card' and 'Strung Out' are also very good. But an amazing album, it certainly is not.

Give me a sign and Tie me Down are easily my fav two tracks - both excellent.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Yup. And then don't forget Silverback, Road to Babylon, Take Out the Enemy, Do You Like It, Another Piece of Me, Heart's Not In It, and Lighthouse.

Give Me A Sign is my favorite, followed by Access Denied, Wild Card, Shanghaied, and the bonus track-Sucker For Anything!

Still haven't heard "Sucker for Anything." Is there a link somewhere? Last I checked it wasn't on the FaceTubes.

[Nightrain]

Probably only me and Jez will dig the Champlins Williams Friestedt album, but for those who occassionally like some poppish westcoast-ish stuff, that's something to try

Been meaning to listen to the samples. I'll probably get this at some point.

Really can't be bothered with exact ratings. These are the albums that have kept my attention for more than a day.

 

I have ended up going back to Def Leppard as I love the band so much. I do like it so I'm trying to decide whether peer pressure is stopping me from adding it.

 

The album I've been going back to most is the Romeo's Daughter. I did play the ass off the Care of the night at the start of the year and also the Ammunition though.

 

 

 

Held my attention a lot

 

Newman - Elegance Machine

Shinedown - Threat to survival

Ammunition - Shangheid

Nelson - Peace out

Care of Night - Connected

Thunder - Wonder Days

Trixter - Human Era

Romeo's Daughter - Spin

Art Nation- Revolution

Degreed - Dead but not forgotten

 

Held my attention quite a bit

 

Eclipse - Armageddonize

Halestorm - Into the wild life

House of Lords - Indestructable

FM - Heros and villains

Rasperry Park - Second Glance

Keith Richards - Cross Eyed Heart

2 Destine Forevermore 92,50%

3 Art Nation Revolution 91,00%

My top 3 would be the same as yours........different order though ;-)

 

I think most people will agree that Degreed 'smashed it out of the park' this year.

 

Amazing album, and not a filler in sight. Very impressive over so many songs.

[AlphaMale]

Any updates guys?

[tts42572]

Started another thread forgetting that this one was out there...Thought i'd bump this one.

 

I'm expecting to have some gift certificates to use after Christmas so I'm revisiting these to see what I missed and need to pick up.

 

I'm a H.e.a.t, Def Leppard fan...basically melodic rock with lots of production...Like the slightly heavier side than lighter side though.

 

Scanning back through everything I think i'm between 3 releases I never bought....Degreed, Eclipse or Art Nation.

 

Listened to most of Eclispe today...Probably about 3-4 songs I like...Stand on Your Feet, Storm, Breakdown and Caught Up In The Rush....not sure if that's enough to get me to buy it or if i'm better off just buying those tracks.

 

Have listened to about half of Degreed on you tube....Interesting....Seems to be more to digest. Better Safe Than Sorry is awesome...Touch of Paradise sounds good, Face The Fact...

 

Art Nation is one I never heard of until about 15 minutes ago. I sampled a few of their songs...not bad at all. However, they remind me a lot of Sunstrike and I already own that...Almost seem to be a clone of Sunstrike.

 

Kinda leaning toward Degreed as it's a little bit different than most of my library.

[AlphaMale]

That DEGREED is awesome!!!
