Shark Island - Bloodline

[PeterS]

One of my most anticipated albums of the new year. Nice start with this song. 

 

[Geoff]

That is very nice. 

[Stefan]

That's a Depeche Mode cover.

 

 

[lettard]

Nice cover it is too

Good song....

[All Nights Reserved]

They nicely caught the gothic vibe of the song. I dig it.

[Glen]

Meh. Depeche Mode were always pants imo

I have no idea what they did or any of their songs... but the Shark Island cover is very nice.

[lettard]

This sure isn't the same Shark Island as the excellent "Law Of The Order".

yeah, by no means is the new material at the same level of quality as their debut, but outside of this latest one, 7 Tears, which didn't do much for me, I had thought the other promo tracks sounded OK

Law of the order was their second album.

S’cool Bus the first. Also recorded an album called alter ego but that was when they were called the sharks .

 

Forgotten this dropped today. Will be my listening the next few days. 

 

[lettard]

Yeah but S'Cool Bus is  a rare one indeed...have a rip of it somewhere from years ago,,Law Of The Order is where I sat up and took notice

Heard this today,it starts off well,the first few tracks are pretty good and Richard Black sounds well...but its downhill for me from about track 5 or 6 and I can't really recall the last couple as they passed me by due to my initial disappointment 

[PeterS]

I’m quite liking it but I’m a massive fan so he could sing the phonebook and I’d like it.

Agreed. A few decent enough sounding tracks in the beginning but from midway to the end, pretty forgettable.

Absolutely no way I'll play this again.

[PeterS]

Think part of the problem is that last track should have been called 'off and off' instead of 'on and on'. Really adds nothing.
