At least that's more rockin' than anything the other Great White has done with Illous.

Another dreary song putting the IT world to rights.

 

Zzzzzz

Really? I don't think it sounds like Great White but it's not a bad tune.

Just really poor lyrical content

 

 

That I agree with. Another song about technology ruining the world. LOL

 

 

Yeah, been there, done that with

Not bad I guess.

[AlphaMale]

Ugh.... this is one terrible album. Jesus Christ. WTF

[Glen]

What did u expect....the songs in this thread are all weak.

[Mr. M]

Ugh.... this is one terrible album. Jesus Christ. WTF

 

Bummer. What don't you like about it?

 

Huge fan of GW and will give it a listen tomorrow on Apple Music but have lowered expectations

It's stylistically all over the place. It sounds forced and disjointed. It literally has zero to do with Great White besides the vocals.

Honestly not surprised. I was hoping for something similar to GW but it sounds like that ain't going to happen. Oh well, plenty more greatness coming this year

Jesus, so sign of the times is about the best song? I thought that was crap lol

[Mr. M]

My review:

1. Sign of the Times ---> 7

2. She Moves Me ---> 8

3. Crazy ---> 6

4. Love Don't Live Here ---> 8

5. My Addiction ---> 5

6. Anything for You ---> 4

7. He Saw it Comin' ---> 5

8. Don't Let Me Go ---> 6

9. Spy vs Spy ---> 5

10. Blame it on the Night ---> 8

11. Godspeed ---> 4

 

Total: 60%

 

More thoughts:

 

The singles were the "best" songs on the album

 

If your going to write a ballad, listen to track 6 and do it differently

 

The band really should have had a different name as Great White's heritage is no where to be found

 

Jack is getting older and the high notes aren't as friendly as they used to be

 

Overall: Disappointing and a very forgettable album

 

After thinking about it more: it's like they went in without listening to GW's records and songs that made them great and came up with this

I'm gonna assume that is a pretty bad score for you.

As I've said before, I struggle with your ratings system here.

For me an 8/10 is a great song, 7/10 is really good, 6/10 is good and 5/10 is ok

[PeterS]

Listened to it once in the car just now.

Oh Lordy there are some dreadful dreadful songs in there. Especially towards the end.

If 5/10 is OK there's a couple Id immediately rate as -5

[AlphaMale]

Tracks 5,6,7,8,9 are all bog average crap.

[PeterS]

You didn't get to 11 then. Or that's in your even worse list?

[AlphaMale]

Yeah.... that a Capella bullshit song at the end? Dreadful!

[CureTheSane]

It isn't Great White at all, and I agree that he shouldn't be using the name for that reason alone.

A few songs have a bit of GW in them, but more because of the voice than anything else.

I think I'll eventually see this album as being ok, but only if I dissociate it with GW.

Kind of like Coverdale and Into The Light. If you were expecting Whitesnake, you'd not be happy.

[CureTheSane]

Here's what I think.

my rating system is a bit more straight forward

 

1 Sign Of The Times – Took a couple of listens, but I quite like this one - GOOD

2 She Moves Me - meh - AVERAGE/WEAK

3 Crazy – OK, probably grow on me a bit I guess - AVERAGE

4 Love Don’t Live Here - the best song. Most like great white - GREAT

5. My Addiction - I like this one, kind of reminds me of vampire type music. What you’d expect on Lost Boys etc - GREAT

6. Anything For You – a nice little ballad. Nothing new or exciting. Not a song you’d probably want to whack on a disc with other songs unless they were all like this. - AVERAGE

7. He Saw It Comin’ – Kinda funky, a bit Beatlesque possibly at times. I like it at times, then Jack sings “he saw it comin’” over and over and kills the song - AVERAGE

8. Don’t Let Me Go – Another funky song. I like this done much more than the last. - GOOD

9. Spy Vs Spy – It’s ok, may grow on me - AVERAGE

10. Blame It On The Night – meh - AVERAGE/WEAK

11. Godspeed – What the hell? Run out of songs much? I get what he’s trying to do, but Billy Joel did it already 30 years ago. - WEAK

Nice summary, mate. I enjoyed that. I haven't heard the album yet, but I might try it out on Tuesday night maybe.

[Jez]

Bog average throughout...a big PASS and straight onto the also ran list for this year. Goodnight.

[AlphaMale]

I might have been a tad hard on this. After a few more spins, it's not as bad as my first impression.
