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.

    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
