For me it's ok but below the amazing ones Kiss Of Life and Stereo Messiah (and above What The Hell). It still could grow a bit on me, though.

For our sins 7.5 ........

 

Wow, i love that song.

 

& Nothing is forever.

 

No problem mate, just my own opinion; I'm not claiming I'm right or anything. If you enjoy them so much the better for you.

 

I understand you however: sometimes I read here other people's opinions considering weak some songs I score a secure 10... :yikes::pc:

 

It's amazing that loving same musical styles (HardRock, AOR, Melodic Metal) sometimes we disagree so hard, but well, it happens. And in fact is more funny this way. ;)

Yeah, I really like 'For all our sins' too. Great track. The back end of this album is excellent.

 

The only two songs I wasn't sold on first time around were 'We got it all' - sounded very average to me - actually skipped it after the first chorus on the first listen. And 'Nothing is forever' was weak too. Vega never have been a ballad band, and they haven't fixed that this time around. I think the ballads are always their weakest songs, and this is definitely the case here again. Otherwise, the album sounds superb.

QTF, The ballad stuff, 75/100. The rest are all 90+. We got it all has a killer bridge and lovely falsettos from the 2nd best singer this moment.

 

If football fans have some nice musical taste, they should buy the rights for it and make it an official song for the premier league. :tumbsup:

I'm surprised you didn't rate Savin' Grace higher. Vega's attempt to conquer the other side of the Atlantic ocean.

I don't get the comments on mix at all. This is their best produced album imo.

 

Are the vocals low??

Wish id never read this as i do think now the vocals are a bit low especially compared to What The Hell.

 

Still love the album though

Don't think so, his falsetto is all over the place. Still trying to compare it with Wigelius to see which is better.

    • 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
    • Like I Do,Do - Bret Michaels
    • I have always been an on/off fan of Priest. Loved Ram it down and Painkiller, then kinda lost interest when Rob left. Only newer albums I ever got around to picking up were Angel of retribution because I saw it real cheap and Nostrodamus as I found the deluxe edition cheap as well. With this one though I was interested in what I heard and saw the deluxe edition looked cool. I then saw they were selling copies on the JP website with a signed art card in both standard and deluxe format, but baulked at the price of the deluxe as they were charging an extra £10 over the unsigned version, and postage was lumpy ... plus I was a few days from getting paid. By the time I went back on there the signed deluxe was gone but they had the standard version with the signed card and it was the same price as the unsigned version (guess nobody was buying it) so decided to buy that and order the deluxe from Amazon, keep the artcard and sell the standard CD on eBay as it is still sealed. So yeah, been playing the album today and on my third (or is it fourth) playthrough, and absolutely loving it. When bands like Bon Jovi are  getting soft as shit with age, Rob and the guys are still full on metal gods. At 72, Rob should not be able to still perform like this, but he fucking well is, so more power to him. Really good start to the year so far with the 2024 albums I have picked up.
    • Evidently, Tichy has joined up with Gene Simmons' solo band, and the Daisies replaced him with Tommy Clufetos who'd helped them out before. Be interesting to see how much more there is to the story....
