Brock's last project didn't excite me. I never got past the samples. But I hope this is better.

Really? I'd have to revisit it, because I don't recall being moved much. I remember the first song being alright, but the other two doing very little for me. Could have been in a mood.

[Glen]

Listen to 'I Don't Know Why'. Great stuff

lol. I actually forgot to comment on the idea of this project. To be honest, I have no idea who those other three guys are. So to call this one an "all-star" project is pretty ridiculous, but anything with Brock on vocals is always worth a listen. Even if it's not an all-star project.

Well Gary Phil played on the 3rd and 4th Boston albums, but I am not sure where the connection is to Bang Tango for Matt Star?? Never heard of him??

[Jez]

A 'project' album on Frontiers...well I never

From Frontiers:

BREAKING NEWS: FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL PRESENTS ALL 41
• DEBUT ALBUM "WORLD'S BEST HOPE" OUT JULY 7, 2017
• FEATURING TERRY BROCK, ROBERT BERRY, GARY PIHL, MATT STARR

ALL 41 is not just another project born of Frontiers’ President Serafino Perugino’s imaginative A&R mind, but is a project very close to the hearts of each musician involved. With none other than the amazing Terry Brock on lead vocals (Giant, Strangeways), Robert Berry (Three, Alliance) on bass and lead vocals, Gary Pihl (Boston, Sammy Hagar (The Red Rocker), Alliance) on guitar, Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr Big) on drums and production by Alessandro Del Vecchio, All 41 is a project born of passion and fire. Their debut album, "World's Best Hope" will be released July 7, 2017.

 

Guitarist Gary Pihl says, "t started with some great sounding songs in a rough “demo” form, but every time I got a new version with each musician’s real performance on it, I got stoked! We’re all bringing our “A Game” to the band. I can’t wait to do some gigs with these guys! Robert and I go way back, and Terry and Matt are like the best players ever!"

 

Bassist and co-vocalist Robert Berry adds: "So many times musicians get together and struggle to find common ground in style and substance. When Serafino, president of Frontiers, called me with the line up for All 41 I had no idea that he had put together perfectly matching musical pieces. From playing bass to Matt's solid drums, trading vocals with Terry's soaring voice, to the warmth and feel of Gary's own style of powerful, yet melodic guitar playing, this band came together like missing puzzle pieces. I can't wait to get it on to the concert stage."

 

"What a great bunch of musicians to work with and such talented, classy guys. I am proud to be associated with this project and i am so proud of my great friend and collaborator Alessandro Del Vecchio for his incredible work!!!! Thank you Serafino, Mario, and Frontiers for ANOTHER amazing opportunity....GRAZIE MILLE AMICI," says vocalist Terry Brock, with drummer Matt Starr adding, "I had a lot of fun making this record. There are some amazing songs and everybody really played great!"

 

Musically, these guys gel incredibly well and have come up with a superb debut album which mixes Mr Big’s most melodic moments together with the more keyboard-laden years of Van Halen along with obvious nods to Strangeways and Alliance. The duel lead vocals are an amazing plus for this absolutely beautiful record, not to mention the excellent production which highlights the unforgettable melodies. An AOR highlight of the year!

Meh

[KarpetRydOFunk]

I like how they call the album The World's Best Hope, but then the second song is "Cyanide."

 

Gave up hope pretty quick.

[The Rocker]

I will give it a go.

[Glen]

That song in the EPK is pretty boring imo
