Whether it be this or Magic Dance or some other curveball, no doubt the best album from this year will come from the back end of the year. Treat too? Can't wait for this.

yes at least 5 all competing for 2nd spot ;)

 

I forgot the probable winner, in Midnite City. And I probably (hopefully?) missed half a dozen others.

Midnite City, White Widdow, Magic Dance, First Signal, Nordic Union, Creye, Treat, Steve Perry, Care of Night, Degreed (?), Dallas are all my radar.

None will beat NFO though which for me is pure brilliance (again)

A lot of good stuff to come.

I don't expect Nordic Union or Perry to have any real impact on me personally, but I wholeheartedly agree with the rest. Thank goodness there's still all that to come in what has been a pretty tame year thus far.

Agree. I have a (for me) a great top 5 but outside of that the quality drops off a cliff.

I suspect at least 5 of those will be awesome to complete a top 10. that's all I really ask for these days. 

It's not 1989 any more ;)

Borrowing this link from the Midnite City thread;

All sounding good - though 'Fight For Love' seems to have some distinct similarities to 'Game of love' from the last album, lol.

nice tunes but sounding very thin. What happened to the chunky Crossfire sound & Production ? 

I was thinking the same thing.  As good as they are(and I do like them), just imagine a "thicker" sound/production. Crunchier/louder guitars and a thick drum sound.

Yup..I thought the same after listening to the samples.

Glad I'm not the only one, I'm missing a bit of delay or echo for that bigger sound like Crossfire or also the moment when the guitar riff starts in Cry Wolf off the Serenade album. Now THAT'S what I wanna hear!

Yeah doods, I've been on the same train of thought for a while too. I made the point a while back that it sounds like they're doing the reverse of bands in the 80's that started out with key friendly AOR and progressed to a ballsier melodic hard rock style. I love all their songs, but their debut has been their ballsiest album yet and seemingly each album gets lighter and more early 80's sounding. Okay if the song are still great, but the first two are my favourite two albums for a reason. :) 

I think I made the point that it sounded like they started with an album that sounded like it was recorded in 1990 (debut), then Serenade sounded like it was from 1988, Crossfire (1987) & Silhouette (1986). To add to my point, those samples of the new album sound like 1985 to me, lol. ;)

    • Haha, thanks mate. I'm pretty fond of that one too.  I think I've said it a few times in this thread, but I don't think AI is a threat to "real" music whatsoever. Sorry, I know I'm repeating myself, but I could see a world where it has a significant impact on dance music and music that is already, for lack of a better term, created artificially anyway.  And I am amazed by, and love what it can do with rock/metal music, but it's still got nothing on what a group of four or five like-minded individuals can come up with, or most notably, a song-writer with a great voice. Or even a good voice.  I have some deeper cuts in my newer material and I am happy enough with the results but it still sounds like AI emotive, absolutely no comparison at all to a real dude pouring his heart out with his own delivery and melodic structure, straight from a songwriter's brain. And as cool as the music is, you listen to a heap of AI and then you put on just one or two top-end favourite bands and you're all like, oh, yeah, AI definitely can't do that. All the intricacies like guitar and drum fills, vocal hooks and melodies... if anything AI music has given me more appreciation for great artists. On the flip-side, it makes me view poorer artists in a dimmer light, lol, but it makes me really appreciate the real craftsmen and women a lot more.  lol, speaking of rants.  Ah, I've had this pickle a few times before. I like the chorus better in V1, but the verses better in V2. Usually in this case the chorus (V1) would win out for me.  And hey, thanks for posting these, lol. I was playing them and looked to the side of my screen and noticed I had 50 credits!! Bonus. I wouldn't have checked otherwise. So I guess even if you run out, you still get the standard daily 50 credits that even free users get. Gotta admit, that's a bit of a relief as 14 more days of nothing was going to be tough. And at last 50 keeps me well limited too. I might not even get one keeper song with 50 credits the way I've been going recently.    
    • Darkstone - Heart Of Steel (2024)   Well, here's two versions of song number 9.   https://suno.com/song/4e549a3d-d7e6-4e8c-a022-ae96830014b3   https://suno.com/song/331b2d37-cb0f-4006-8d93-c8bb69e4df8a
    • Ooh, thanks for the reminder. I should give the full thing a listen.
