If the rest of the album is as good as this, this could be top 5 in a VERY good year.

Was close to ordering but I never ordered this....Waiting to hear some thoughts though.

I kind of like the first song but still sort of one the fence.  I just want to hear another couple songs before buying this one.

Haven't gotten mine yet....Should have it any day.

I'm not sure if I'll like it or not....Basically just took a flier on it.  I liked the first song Room To Run and the sneak peek trailer seemed to hold some promise.

I wished I could've heard another couple songs in full before buying to really make up my mind but everyone I've seen with the album has had good things to say.  And the trailer sounded okay.

We'll see...optimistic.

I think it is a really good album, but I do have to say that the single(Room To Run) is definitely my favorite song on it and is my style of song all the way.

Glen as we both know, we enjoy much of the same but also like a bunch of different as well. It is a very good album.

Ok, 3 full spins straight through of the Romeo Riot and it is a great album! Anyone who knows me knows how I like my music. Not overly poppy but with a lot of commercial aspects to it (catchy sing along chorus' with great backing vocals, crunchy guitars with air guitar quality solos). I do believe they have achieved all of the above in this album. Opening track "Room To Run" is the perfect opener and a perfect example of what I like/love, as is my second fav of the album with the song "Cry"."Streets Of Babylon", "I Want To Try", and "Same" are great. "Every Now And Then" is a throw back to the 80's Power Balled and is one of the best ballads I've heard this year. I have not skipped a track yet and recommend this album to those who like this style of music. FarCry Meets Tango Down with old school 80's sound.

Got this today and have to agree...really good album.  A few times through and I dare say this is my favorite Kivel release.

It's super melodic, production sounds crispy clear, great vocals/harmonies and guitar work also stands out to me.

Room to Run has grown more on me and also really like Streets of Babylon, Sing It loud, Cry, Same...Also two ballads are really well done.

It's sort of like Tango Down meets Far Cry but honestly, feels better than either of those to me.  

Great stuff.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
