No, just to realise it is a lonely opinion.

Amongst a dozen or so guys here, and maybe another dozen or so (?) on that Facebook page too?

 

Like I said, I'd be interested in the bigger picture. ;)

2500 in the mafia mate ;)

 

We are small fry here.

Holy shitballs, you serious? Wow. All those 2500 discuss the music and stuff? Oh well, good on 'em. Go Wes and crew. Who'd have thunk it, hey?

 

I still hate Facebook, though... ;)

Its great group actually. Just a difficult platform to discuss shit.

 

HH is still king

How on earth did that grow so quick and huge? What did they do to get it out there to the masses?

 

But I agree; the one or two times I have checked in, that Facebook thing seems a terrible thing to utilise for this kind of music discussion.

 

I am very happy here and will be for as long as I discuss this silly stuff. Like I said somewhere else, even if it's just me discussing stuff with me somewhere down the track, I'll still be here. This site's perfectly designed for what we're all here for. Facebook is perfectly designed for stupid, useless shit, and trying to add useful music discussions to that is surely too tricky for me.

It's FaceTube. Everything spreads like crazy on there.

 

On HH we have a group of hardcore fans, who sought this site out to discuss our love of music.

 

On FaceTube anyone who lived through the 80s, or ever loved a Bon Jovi song can easily stumble upon the group. But thanks to the group, a lot of those fair-weather fans have become hardcore listeners, because they've been exposed to so much more.

No Way Back or whatever...yeah thats the one. Killer song. That and Jaded are the highlights for me.

 

But lets face it they are all in the 8.5 to 9.5 territory.

 

Quite simply an excellent album.

Agree...Excellent album.

 

This album just flies by for me when I listen to it....Exactly the kind of melodic harder rock I like. For me, Never Look Back leads the way...Followed closely by Killing Me and Jaded. Really nothing that I don't like though.

 

Hope I get the chance to see these guys live someday. They've been in the US a couple times but wasn't able to get to those shows. I'm hoping Andrew gets them for MRF5 as I'm planning to attend that.

Agreed and as tts42572 also said it flies by,brilliant stuff

Still love this album but I must reiterate how much I detest Downfall of Eden.

 

Deserves no place amongst Jaded, Hurt, no way back etc.

Catchy or not I hate these lyrics - I'm all for unusual subject matter but this is just utter shit imo

 

The king is just a court jester

Yeah, the king ain't nothing but a fool

The king ain't got it all together

It's the downfall of Eden

The queen is selling you a nightmare

Yeah, this queen says anything to win

The queen is way beyond corrupted

It's the downfall of Eden, the downfall of us

 

Also it reminds me too much of Battlegrounds, and one Battlegrounds is enough for me thanks.

 

Having said that there are some truly excellent songs on this album and it remains firmly in my top 10.

So I tried this album numerous times.

First time I assumed it would be a grower.
Second time I became a bit worried that no songs were really grabbing me.
Subsequent listens allowed Downfall Of Eden and Hurt to become the better songs of the album.
Only other one that is making an impact after yet more listens is Night Comes Crawling
Jaded tries to work its way into my head but never really makes it.

For me this has turned in to a really disappointing release.
Not trying to make a case for it being average, but to me it is.
I MUCH prefer the earlier albums :rolleyes:
