Cool. Love their debut. Can't remember / don't know 'Powerdrive.' But I am looking forward to hear what they come up with. 

[Jez]

The debut was good, 'Powerdrive' even better, so looking forward to this after a break of nearly 15 years

[lettard]

Loved the debut,Powerdrive was hit and miss for me,but this is a welcome surprise after all of this time

[All Nights Reserved]

Wow. I loved the debut too. But I'm not sure they can be still relevant to be honest.

One of the worst ever for sure.

[Stefan]

Thank God they changed the artwork for the new release.

 

Soundclips

[lettard]

Sounds good song wise,quality sounds a bit dull,anyone know if these are brand new tunes or rehashed demos from back in the day? oh,and yes thankfully they changed the artwork

[Crazysam]

The samples sound ok, similar style to the band's earlier material, but my initial thought is that the songs aren't as strong as those prior releases

Ditto. Better than I expected but I'm still not sure.

[Stefan]

New song.

 

 

[lettard]

Not bad but it doesn't change any of the above comments for me,not sure of the strength of the material...and it still sounds quite flat production wise...where is the umph?

I'll probably purchase at some point mainly based on the bands past...I loved the debut

[Stefan]

New song.

I gave it a listen on Spotify and I agree with your thoughts.  No comparison to their first two releases in terms of the song quality.

Thank goodness for these later posts. The album is dreadful and beyond. Fucking horrible. What is it? A collection of demos from the 70's when they were schoolboys practicing in a garage? Or is this a legit attempt at a new album? Genuine question - what is this collection of shit? 

Nothing at all in common with the first two - just a weak, pissy sound... but despite the sound quality, the songs are so bad and horribly written. I don't understand why they are so awful. What's the reason behind this shit?
