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.

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 :)

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.

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

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.

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  ;)

      What CDs did you buy this week?

      By heavyharmonies · Posted

      Ordered Saturday, arrived today. Wasn't expecting them that quickly. I especially like the stickered custom-fitted protective mailer that the Live at Budokan Tokyo 1983 set came in, protecting it from being banged against other merchandise in the carton. Very nicely priced (see my threads in the deals section).

      Awesome! I got my copy last week. About a year ago, they said announced that they were re-recording their songs, but I'm not sure if they're still doing it.

      I wound up picking this one up as well, and I must say, this has been a most pleasant surprise. Very good melodic rock/AOR throughout, and gets better with each listen. Not sure why they haven't released "Midnight Lady" as a single/video, as it is far and away the best track on the album... IMO of course.

      This one is really good honestly, 10 songs, pretty much all their big hits. Very concise.

      Sunbomb - Light Up the Sky

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I think most people know my stance on these two. I love LA Guns and think Tracii is one of the best guitarists to come out of the hair metal scene, and while I like Stryper I have really gone off them due to Michaels compulsion to release new material every second Wednesday. I have not bought the last 2 or 3 Stryper albums, and a bunch of other stuff he is involved in because of this. Hell, didnt even pick the first Sunbomb album up til early this year and only then it was because I got it for £5 instead of the usual £13 to £15 that Frontiers CDs usually cost. That album did not impress me. Musically it was tight but Sweets vocals were pretty "meh", and sounds like they are gonna be even worse on this album. Have to agree to what has already been said, but I can barely even understand what he is singing. Now while I am fine with listening to foreign language songs, if a singers native tongue is English, I wanna be able to understand what he is singing. Fuck me, there are death metal bands out there easier to understand than this. If I didnt know the song title, I would think it was called I'm bating bulls yeah
