For whatever reason, I haven't listened to any samples, yet. But with the early less than stunning reviews, I was a bit worried. Good to know those fears were misplaced.

That's typical Brother Firetribe.

Received my Japanese pressing from CD Japan on Thursday ...... it's been in my CD player quite a bit. This has the potential to be in the run for Album of the Year. I have all the previous BROTHER FIRETRIBE releases on the Japanese pressings and this album is by far superior. I'll explain.....the sound here is much fuller, the production extremely full including orchestration. Their overall sounds actually drifts toward the LEVERAGE vibes this time as opposed to their previous releases. Having the same vocalist in Pekka Heino, there is a blending of elements. Also, the Japanese pressing has a total of 14 tracks, two of which are Japanese bonus. One is an acoustic track and the second is a genuine bonus. More than, just a bonus, a brilliant track worth having. My recommendation is to obtain a Japanese pressing of this CD if you are going to purchase it.......It should be worthwhile!!

I believe it's "Don't Cry for Yesterday"

 

As much as I enjoy the intro and 3 songs after, I really feel the album kicks off with Last Forever.

 

5 - 11 are just fantastic

 

Phantasmagoria is an interesting song to say the least

Do what I do, only by the good albums and not the albums you want to be good. Mine should be arriving soon along with Eclipse and a couple of others.

I already do that, for the most part, but I couldn't afford to always purchase the Japanese pressings.

No, no no. Completely wrong. No way is Brother Tribe "proper AOR." Not a chance. They have a handful of really synth-driven tunes, but even those I'd still not call "AOR." Not to get into this horrific discussion and wishing to completely avoid it, but Brother Firetribe are "too hard" to be proper AOR. Ballsy band - melodic hard rock.

To answer Cure's original question - yes, every song has keyboards in it, so if you dislike keyboards avoid like the plague.

 

That said, they do have a pretty beefy sound....melodic hard rock is pushing it a bit, but I wouldn't call them wimpy AOR.........

Well, this is why this category exists: it's not hard rock I agree, it's not AOR either, but something between, so it's melodic hard rock. The 'melodic' softens the 'hard' adjective, IMO that was the intention. Then BF fits exactly in it.

 

However I admit the name is a bit confusing.

The 'melodic hard rock' name for the genre.

Simplest thing to do is not read so much into shitty labels like AOR, melodic rock, melodic hard rock, ball licking - who gives a fuck? Just listen to the music and if you like it, you like it. If not, you don't. I hate stuff like "too AOR" or not heavy enough or too heavy or whatever bollocks one worries about.

 

It's all very, very simple. Are the songs good, or not? If they're good songs, who cares about the rest of it?

 

Rant ended.

Good analysis Geoff.......

 

.to answer some previous questions.......

 

1. I buy Japanese pressings "only" when they contain legitimate bonus tracks and.....they are a release that truly pulls my chain. Otherwise, the mainstream releases satisfy my desires.

 

2. The bonus tracks are "Don't Cry For Yesterday" (The legitimate Bonus) and

For Better or Worse (acoustic version).

 

3. This album WILL NOT appeal to everyone. Some will think it too lame, some hate keyboards, others like heavy riffing etc etc etc......however, for what it is, this is a spectacular release. I, am one of those individuals who truly appreciates an extremely wide range of musical genres from searing heavy metal to the 50's and 60's oldies

      Framing the Red / Southern Hard Rock with a dash of sleaze

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think.

      Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary.

      Eclipse - Megalomanium ll

      By tts42572 · Posted

      My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums.
