Those tracks all sound pretty good. Bastard of Society and Blind Leads the Blind were the ones that stood out the most though after the one listen.

Thanx for the link man, that was awesome!

 

Sounds to me like they picked up exactly where they left off with Tearing Down the Walls.

 

I prefer the first two Kenny fronted albums, but they still deliver quality albums, and the songs eventually grow on you, my favourite of these 5 songs were "Blind Leads the Blind".

 

My ranking of H.E.A.T's albums are as follows

 

1. Freedom Rock

2. S/T

3. Address the Nation

4. Tearing Down the Walls

 

Based on the 5 tracks I've heard I'm guessing the new record will be either fourth or fifth, as I doubt it will top ATN.

That's accurate.

 

 

Complete opposite for me...TSTW, ATN..........S/T, Freedom Rock. Just never got into Kenny's voice for some reason.

 

For me though, I never got into these guys until ATN came out. I bought that album, loved it and then went back to listen to their earlier albums and they just don't appeal to me. There's some good songs though and I like them when they do them live with Erik.

 

Not trying to start and Erik versus Kenny thing.....sometimes you just don't like something for no real reason :)

 

As for the new songs, I'm digging them. I'd say Redefined is the only one I'm a little hesitant on...It's okay but my least favorite of the five.

 

It'll be interesting to see what they choose as the lead single. I'd vote for Bastard of Society or Blind Leads The Blind. I think if they lead with Redefined they could have a lot of people scratching their heads.

Agreed. Freedom Rock is a slab of amazing AOR tunes and the S/T has "Cry" which is beyond fantastic. Kenny really showcases his amazing vocal talent in Cry

They are all around 85-90% to me so can alternate on any given day.

Remember hearing the samples to the self titled before release and nearly shat myself,couldnt believe a new band had recorded this,bought the album as soon as it was released and love all their ouput thus far,they have changed style in a heavier direction but still a class act,so i'd say the self titled holds my #1 spot simply because of that initial feeling from the 2007 samples

Some songs sounded OK after a couple of listens, but I sure didn't blow a load over it.

I predict a decent album that most here fall in love with and I think is OK.

Hopefully I will be surprised.

Yeah, for me.

I think there would be 4 or 5 songs of the last album that I would put on a best of CD. Which is pretty good.

I guess I have high standards.

At least we can agree that Tearing Down the Walls was the weakest.

Overall, it is, without a doubt. It's got some really cool stuff on it and is a millions miles away from actually being a bad album, but as a complete album I think it's pretty clearly their weakest.

Not for me...TDTW is #1.

 

If I were going to list my 10 favorite H.e.a.t songs, I'd say probably 5 would be from this album and probably 4 from ATN. I'd squeeze one song in from the other 2 albums.

 

I just like the style of the last 2 albums way more than the first two.

As much as I've tried to dig the first 2 discs, I just don't.

 

Erik made this band incredible. They were just okay with Kenny.

Yep

Yeah TDTW is the worst by a fair margin, sadly. I tend to listen to Point of no return and Emergency then turn it off.

 

I definitely don't want to hear anything more from them that sounds anything like A shot at redemption. Hopefully that one is gone from the next tour songlist...

Yep X2.

 

For me, first 2 discs aren't even in the same league. It's like a totally different band.

 

I guess some like it...some don't....and some like both. Is what it is.

 

I prefer the heavier, edgier style.

      Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger

      I like the album art. I love when contemporary Glam Metal bands have album art with a genuine 80s vibe to it.
