This is basically the same chorus as Ammunition's 'Wrecking Crew' but with much better lyrics !!

 

I know which song I prefer. :whistle:

I really think Wrecking Crew is a good song, with some whistling in it. Who F'in cares?!

Caved in and pre-ordered this after reading a couple reviews.

 

Basically, it sounds like a pretty varied album from what I've read from AOR to modern rock to hard rock.

 

I liked Hurt a lot...And also like Apologize quite a bit. I'm still only lukewarm on Whenever I'm Dreaming....It's okay.

 

Really though...all these songs seem well produced with plenty of hooks, harmonies ,etc.

 

It may sit on the back burner for a little bit when it comes out though because I know I'll be diving into Eclipse first.

Ha ha that emoji wasnt meant as a reference to whistling!! I just prefer this song.

 

The choruses are virtually identical tho.

Jeez, I can see a similarity, but overall, it's a very different song to the 'Wrecking Crew' tune. One is distinctly better than the other, and I'll leave something that obvious to the listener.

Of course it is...i was talking about the chorus melody which is identical

Have heard this album and really not doing much for me at all. It really has a pretty scandi, modern poppy feel throughout to me.

 

I like Hurt and liked Apologize....But didn't care much for Whenever I'm Dreaming.

 

There's a couple other songs that are okay but I find myself basically slowly checking out on this after the first 4 songs.

 

I'm also struggling a little with the vocals...Bit accented or something...I don't know.

 

I'm sure this will appeal to many but just not hitting a sweet spot for me.

 

Maybe I'm too caught up in Tokyo Motor Fist and Eclipse at the moment :guitar:

I like it,I mean really like it,if your're a fan of H.E.A.T or indeed the aforementioned Eclipse whats not to like,it may not be as good as those others but its definitely worth taking it on its own merits and not comparing it to a couple of the best bands to emerge over the last few years...the track Love Injection is worth the entrance alone...imho :)

I got the japan release from a uk seller on ebay this morning in the post so it was awaiting me when I got home from work :) although having the bonus track as acoustic version of the previous track I found strange,but I'm in the same boat as you Glen with regards to the other upcoming release that everyone else seems to have already heard...have to wait until at least next Friday :(

Lemme see...H.E.A.T and Eclipse are two of my top five all-time bands - so, yeah, this one should be right up my alley.

Sorry...But for me this is nowhere in the same league as Eclipse or the past couple H.e.a.t albums. I can maybe see some comparisons to early H.e.a.t but not even sure about that.

 

For me this is closer to something like the Cruzh release last year...Only with more modern production and maybe a little more pop feel.

I know you like heavier but to me the 3 songs so far are miles better than Cruzh and offer more variarion in Style than Eclipse.

There's definitely variation in the album.

 

I've tried it a couple more times and while listening the last time I think a better comparison is probably to Degreed. Although, I think Degreed feels to me like it has a bit more edge than this though maybe due to Robin's gritty vocals.

 

The album has grown on me a little...Apologize is probably my favorite song on it....Hurt is good....Love Injection is pretty catchy and Turn Back Time is pretty good. I'm still struggling a bit with the second half of the album though and just not finding much in the second half that's exciting me.

 

It's put together well and I'm sure it will appeal to many. It's just not quite clicking into place for me yet.

Very nice ballad and brilliant solo......reminds me of the ballads on The Defiants album from last year

 

I think I'm gonna love this album.

Have heard this album and really not doing much for me at all. It really has a pretty scandi, modern poppy feel throughout to me.

I feel the same and know exactly what you mean

 

Only difference being that I haven't heard the full album but only 3 tracks that were released. Also agree that it could be compared to Cruzh a little

I have to admit I'm warming to the album a little bit.

 

Really there are only two songs that I just don't like at all....Falling Apart and Straight Through Heart are have both turned into automatic skips for me.

 

On the other hand though, I really like Hurt, Apologize and Love Injection is a pretty infectious song even if it does start out pretty poppy. I also don't mind Turn Back Time and I've also warmed up to Whenever I'm Dreaming and like the song that follows it Do You Believe.

 

I do wish there were maybe one or two heavier numbers in addition to Buried Alive to give the album a little more edge. That one song is definitely comparable to Eclipse.

 

It's sort of a strange album and I think that's why I've struggled warming up to it. It's really sorta all over the place....There's poppy almost One Direction moments in some songs and then they turn around and hit you with some great heavier riffs in some other spots. There really are a lot of great hooks and harmonies though and it is a well put together album.

 

I still think these guys sound like a more mainstream version of Degreed.

 

I have to laugh a little. I had this playing with my 16 year old daughter in the car yesterday and she normally doesn't care much for what I listen to and she was commented...."This sounds pretty good" and she was singing Love Injection sitting in the living room last night. She told me I had to put that song on her phone.

 

I'd still rate Tokyo Motor Fist and Eclipse way above this album but it's a pretty good debut effort.

That's all I need to hear ;)

 

I'll let you know my thoughts on Friday when its actually released.

yeah love it, i also hear some modern elements here, the Cruzh and Degreed comparison are also spot on, but overall they lean into more Scandi melodic rock rather than modern pop, but overall as predicted, a good contender for the top spot in the first half, and maybe in the top 10 by the end of year.

 

oh and i think 'Whenever I'm Dreaming' is such a beautiful song but not much love for 'Apologize' and 'Straight Through The Heart'

'Turn Back Time' and 'Falling Apart' are huge too

    • 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
