Just start with Jump The Gun.

 

By far their most melodic album

Agree

Not much talk about this one lately. How is this one holding up for everyone? Still standing strong for me. Still a long way to go, but it wouldn't surprise me if this ends up in or near my top 5 at the end of the year.

Agree. Falling is still my #1 song this year to this point and songs like Hypocrisy, Wide Awake and Go aren't far behind. I also really like Every Heartbeat.

 

And as much as I like the Defiants I still think if I'm making a list, Nordic Union is #1 and the Defiants are #2.

 

Nordic Union just fits my tastes perfectly.

 

Easily in my top 5 of the year. I managed to score a Jap. copy for $10(used but with full armor). Go and falling are canidates for my ultimate playlist.

Yes, holding up just fine. Falling is still my #1 song(so far)for the year.

Still #1 Nordic Union for me this year. Rockers that rock and ballads that... ball? Oh, well... :rolleyes: Add the 'pretty' (pun intended) bittersweet voice of the awesome Ronnie Atkins and this one is a total winner!

 

#2 for Treat's

#3 for Theander Expression's (yeah, even with the ugly lyrics! :aw: )

#4 for The Defiants'

 

#5 for Wigelius'

Still in the same spot for me too - a very good, but not amazing album. It may finish in or near my top 10 this year, but I don't give it a chance at my top 5.

Treat and The Defiants > Wigelius

 

agree but Wigelius is still a strong and likeable album

probably pushed back a bit after Ted Poley and Vega are out but still a good contender for top 10 position

 

this one is still strong for me and is #2 after Defiants

Treat and The Defiants > Wigelius

 

I definitely wouldn't agree with that yet. I'd really need to play all three back to back quite a few times to make that call, but my initial thoughts would probably be Wigelius > The Defiants > Treat. That said, they'd probably be 1, 2 & 3 so far this year.

For me they are all too close to call at the moment. I like all 3 mentioned and Nordic Union in their own right.

 

All have some sublime melodic rock and the odd weak moment.

 

If im honest i still think the best might still be to come in 2016.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
