Toby Hitchcock - Reckoning

[lettard]

Better than the 1st tune but still not grabbing me completely...yet

[Geoff]

Pretty nice. I can handle that.

Flores is killing it on the album ! Looks like there are 2 Find Me releases for 2019! And that vibrato, sweet mother of Jesus!!!  Of course, due to different variables in the fermentation process, I cannot decide   yet about  the aging bouquet. I need to test it through repeated hearings. 

 

I love tracks 4-8. And track 3 is nice ballad (still destined to remind me what a masterpiece is   "Are You The Same Girl?"), kinda love the acoustic version more-because of the fragility of his voice. 

 

[Glen]

Well all those doubting he couldnt produce another quality solo album without EM - you were wrong.

This sounds great.

Only one spin but it's all very nice. Big production too

 

[lettard]

I'll find out tomorrow...hopefully

[Geoff]

I've been pleasantly surprised by this. The main thought I had the entire time I played it was that it's actually probably a lot better than anything he and EM might have actually come up with at the moment. Love EM, but in the last couple of years I think he's just saving all his good stuff for Eclipse now.

As George has noted, it does have a distinct Find Me sound, which is not a bad thing. Good album.

Got it this morning,still on the fence,its definitely more AOR than his debut release and production sounds very good indeed,repeated spins are called for before a more balanced opinion.

[Crazysam]

gave this a listen, production is nice as mentioned, Toby sounds great, and overall it's a solid AOR release with a couple of stand out tracks in the middle of the album, but unfortunately this one just doesn't grab me like his debut did

DF that's why

Mercury's Down which is a classic is still the better album but this one isn't bad either. There are 3 real gems on this one - Don't leave, Someone Like You and Queen Untouchable. Love those 3 songs. 

[Mafisen]

This is way too fluffy for me, whimpy even.

Having this and the new Find Me album released in the same year is kind of like having a double album in my 2019 playlist, as they're identical in every single way, except for the vocalists. Everything else - identical. Even spread of good songs over both albums.

What he said... both good/very good albums, but a distinct lack of keyboards I thought 

[Invisible_man]
