BURNING RAIN s/t

 

 

I included this in my 1999 list.

 

After a quick check (Wikipedia, Discogs, official band site), it looks like the first two Burning Rain albums came out in 1999 and 2000 in Japan, but 2000 and 2001 in Europe.

 

So I'm going to include their second album in my 2000 list (see below).

My Top 20 best of 2000 (in alphabetical order)

AC/DC - Stiff Upper Lip
American Pearl - American Pearl
Angel Dust - Enlighten The Darkness
Arena - Immortal

Joe Bonamassa - A New Day Yesterday
Burning Rain - Pleasure To Burn
Fair Warning - 4
Fates Warning - Disconnected
The Flower Kings - Space Revolver
Hardcore Superstar - Bad Sneakers And Pina Colada
Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Monster Magnet - God Says No
Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element
Axel Rudi Pell - The Masquerade Ball
Spock's Beard - V
Storyteller - Corridor Of Windows
Symphony X - V: New Mythology Suite
Tad Morose - Undead
Transatlantic - SMPTe
Voodoo Hill - Voodoo Hill

2000 was a great year for my musical tastes. The Symphony X and Angel Dust releases were (for me) the second in a consecutive pairing of album high-points of their careers, and adding to the power metal glory this year was Tad Morose with their heaviest and best album. Bruce Dickinson had also returned to Iron Maiden and produced the best album I'd heard from them since 1988's "Seventh Son..." album, whilst the ever-dependable Axel Rudi Pell put out another solid release.

Hard rock releases included a wonderful debut album from American Pearl, whilst this year's Hardcore Superstar is the only album of theirs that I really like due to its raw energy (a factor that I found lacking on the next couple of albums of theirs that I heard). On the melodic rock side of things, the second Burning Rain album was another quality release, in addition to Fair Warning and Storyteller. And blues rock saw the great debut release from newcomer Joe Bonamassa. But maybe the unexpected highlight for me was Voodoo Hill, a surprisingly heavy rock album fronted by Glenn Hughes who certainly gives it his all (and a singer who had passed me by up until now).

The prog rock genre included more treats from Spock's Beard, Arena and The Flower Kings, as well as the fantastic debut album from "supergroup" Transatlantic. Prog metal, meanwhile, served up my favourite albums from both Pain Of Salvation and Fates Warning.

Already included. From the others I have A.Avenue (boring to these ears, too lite, although nice guitar sound,) and Demon Drive (probably I will list it, since Casanova's Heroes is the reason I have 2 hearts). I am also aware of Damned Nation, have some of their earlier stuff, which probably I don't like because I don't remember it! I had to check my collection in excel form to verify it). Will try to listen to some of the others! Τοο much stuff!

Recently rated DAVID COVERDALE - Into The Light and I think it's quite a little gem for some, for me it's a solid 81.7%, mostly laid back but Coverdale's vocal somehow fits very nice, love it :)

Agreed, I didn't think much of it when it was released but have listened to it a bit over the last year and its really grown. It's like the opposite of Coverdale/Page which I tried so hard that I actually got to like 2/3 of the cd. Now I really struggle with it and really don't care for Coverdale's vocals on it!

Clearly I can't do maths, because I counted 13, but Geoffrey said there were 12.

ah i know, just drop SR-71 from the equation and you get the correct list :D

 

SR-71 > most bands.

 

As for that Coverdale album, wow, haven't thought about that one in an age. I owned it for a long time and for some reason held off on selling it. But I did eventually, and never missed it a second. Wasn't into it at all.

    • 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
    • I mean Juno Roxas was hilarious making fun of this dude for a while. Lost a few Facebook accounts because of it lol Pretty sure he's related to Sammy Hagar
