Stefan Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) From Frontiers: BREAKING NEWS: Ted Poley and Frontiers are pleased to announce that they have partnered up for the release of another solo album from the singer. Ted is currently hard at work in Sweden on this still untitled effort. This time around, the Danger Danger singer has partnered up with some incredibly talented Swedish musicians, namely Mats Ericsson, Micke Jansson, Daniel Johansson, and Robin Ericsson (on additional vocals). "You might know some of those guys other musical work as the band degreed,” says Ted “I am also getting some vocal layering with the help of my good friend, the Italian Stallion of Vocals, Alessandro Delvecchio. The album is being co-Produced by Mats Ericsson and myself in Kopperberg, Sweden.” Ted continues, "[a]fter almost 40 years of recording and releasing music, I wanted to stretch out a little bit musically and I am proud to say that I have come up with a MAGICAL combination of amazing musicians and songs! The songs are awesome, and the musicianship will BLOW YOU AWAY. Every one of the players are MASTERS of their instruments and you might hear just a hint of modern prog interlaced with my usual catchy choruses this time around! This is going to be my favorite solo album ever and an album that I felt I HAD to make. And I am so happy with the results so far!” More news as it becomes available!

Geoff Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Cool. I was listening to his last album two days ago... so freakin' good was that. If this is as good as, or better, it's got potential to top the list in 2018. Cannot wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gener8tr Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I love Ted, I really do, but I'm still waiting for an over-the-top, sticky-sweet, ultra-produced album that approaches the D2 debut. That one was just so damn good it's like chasing a ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Is this getting a general release, rather than the very pricey version from his website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettard Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Ted says over on his site that this is not a solo cd but more of a collaboration cd,his new solo cd will be released on Frontiers in 2019 that being said I don't mind the different sound/style for what its worth.

tts42572 Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Degreed-lite is a good analogy....maybe even Degreed Super-lite. Songs I've heard have been okay but not really doing much for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hearing this really soft album you guys seem to be hearing? Just to change the tone of this thread as it's been pretty luke-warm so far, lol... I'll put it out there that this is my favourite album I've heard so far this year. Remembering LeBrock is an EP... But I just really like this album. Super consistent and I find myself really enjoying every song a lot. Favourite songs are pretty much every single one of them, but for me, 'Time' is the show stealer. Ripper of a track. But like I say, I just really like the whole thing. I expect it to be overtaken by the likes of Midnite City or even this Nitrate thing, but it's a joy for now.

Not being a big fan of Degreed,(and this sounds like Degreed, with a different singer) I find it to be just ok, and I love Ted Poley. For me W.E.T. and Kissin' Dynamite kicks it's ass.

I think the difference is Robin's griity voice that adds a bit more edge to it all and makes some of their choruses explode. Just don't get that same edgy feeling with Ted's album from the handful of songs I've heard. Agree that Kissin' Dynamite is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Gold Donors nyoilers Posted July 25, 2018 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 I never heard of Degreed but I bought this CD because of Ted and I have enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
