Ted Poley - Beyond The Fade

[Nightrain]

Fuck this is good

 

(Minus Gollum....i mean ISSA )

 

There's a thin line between love and hate, in short time, you'll be her biggest fan

Not in this case mate. Unfortunately I have listened to her material extensively and seen her live (I would recommend not).

 

Those are hours of my life which I will not get back

Holy shit, I did not expect this album to this good. And for the most parts, Ted's voice is actually in good nick here... much better than I expected. Top notch production surely helps too. The first couple of tracks are a little shaky, vocally, but from the Issa track onwards, he sounds great. The shame of that Issa track is that it's probably his best vocal on the album, and she does actually sound quite bad. But the song just doesn't need to be a duet anyway. It's a bad move and a real shame, because otherwise the album is great. So many great songs here.

My thoughts exactly.

 

Aside from my thoughts on ISSA, anyone dueting this song would have made it bad.

 

100% should have been just Ted, because it is a good song and unfortunately I will never listen to it again

[Geoff]

Oh, and the other comment I meant to make was that I assumed this would be a top 5 finisher, but after my initial spin I feel like it's a real top spot contender. We'll see...

Apparently I need to give this more listens. One complete listen and my reaction is "it's ok". Doesn't really grab me though. Maybe I was just expecting more...

Thank you. I am wondering what all the hype is about. I mean it's a pretty decent hard rock record (minus the awful Issa track) but for me, nowhere near the top releases of the year so far.

 

Maybe about 80% or so. I will spin a few more times and then drop my initial rating on it.

[Glen]

I really like it. Far exceeded my expectations.

[Gotthardline]

The songs are just really good to me , the production is great and ted poley is singing

What more could you want , probably my second favourite melodic rock album this year , just behind treat and just in front of the defiants and vega

Vega > Ted Poley

[The Rocker]

I am still waiting for my hard copy, listened to the free dl from amazon 1 time. Not bad but I really enjoy and soak in an album when I read along with the lyrics.

[Geoff]

Vega > Ted Poley

 

I'd have thought so easily, but I'm definitely not sure after hearing both.

Yeah, it's not the case where we are comparing a 3-axle truck with a bicycle (even one with hidden motor).

Both killer releases (I just couldn't resist and I ordered them with their OBI blanket) and I don't see the point of comparison.

 

But, Workman's performance is definitely better and Poley's cd has way more meaningless breaks.

Yeah. I mean, that should go without saying.

One listen through both and it's pretty clear to me. I agree with AlphaMale. Vega is punchier and has better choruses. It has that whole "Scandi sound" that always resonates with me. I found myself getting more into the Vega, whereas the Poley was more of a passive listening experience.

[Glen]

Scandi? Really. ....

[zakk]

Great to hear Ted, even though its not D2 still a very good release it its own right

[lettard]

Scandi? Really. ....

Yeah I don't get the scandi vega thing either,I mean is it because of it being in part similar to say Eclipse in places?

[Glen]

You cant pidgeon hole Vega. They just sound like Vega

Yeah, they're pretty bad. It's not fair to Eclipse to compare the two.

Vega is greater than 4 light years? Does that even make sense?

Should make sense...its merely pointing out the obvious

Hahaha, approximately Vega is 25 ly from E. Boyos.
