Santa Cruz - Changing Of Seasons


Recommended Posts

Thumbs up from me. Huge sound... still sounds like Santa Cruz, if not slightly more heavy and modern... neither of which is a bad thing. 

Not sure about the new vocalist yet. A bit more subdued than the original fella, but I'm on board. Can't wait for a few album.

New vocalist? It's the same vocalist as before, Archie. He's the only one left from the old line-up.

You for the serious? He doesn't sound anything like he did. Where's his accent and stuff gone? Wow, that's blown my mind. I assumed this was the other three guys with a new vocalist. So it's the other way round then? So what are the other guys doing now?

Don't love it and I hope the rest of the album will be better. There is no guitar solo but other than that I don't feel it's a huge departure from their previous sound, this could have easily been on their second, self titled 2015 offering. Yes, would have been one of the weaker tracks for sure but would've fit right in

wow you guys are being kind.

I'll say it then - that's utter shite. I've never been the biggest fan of these guys but that song is crap in comparison to the debut.

As a massive fan of their last album I will say this, while the song itself is not the best in the world, it is not that far removed from the sound on their last album.

I do still have high hopes that a new album will be good, but not gonna hold my breath just in case.

This is true. I remember saying this at the time of the last album - that these guys were doing the closest thing to what I'd love to be doing if I was making music. They had a massive modern edge on that last album and this just sounds like a continuation for me. 

Like I said in my first post in this thread... slightly more heavy and modern... but nothing outside the realms of natural progression. I don't care if I'm the only one, but I can't wait for the album. :)

This sounds nothing like when we make music.

Is that a sexual thing? I like it. Let's do illegal things.

    • Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin.  Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it. I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty. For obvious reasons, I love this album. Here's a couple of tracks.      
    • Harpsichord.    I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.
    • From their FB page: Alcatrazz wish to make the following announcement: Back in late 2020 the brilliant Doogie White came in to help us out with our then already booked live dates after the departure of the previous vocalist (those dates were ultimately postponed to late 2021 due to the Covid lockdowns). We all had a GREAT time...and thus, one thing led to another and before we knew it we had made two fantastic albums and toured considerably in a nearly 4 year period. Now our schedule is getting busier and busier, as is Doogie's with his very fine solo work... and with that, the inevitable clashing of dates in our respective diaries, and needless to say, the impossibility of him being able to be in two places at one time. We remain on very very good terms with Doogie and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the band, he is very welcome on our stage anytime, as are all past Alcatrazz alumni. Current Warlord vocalist and someone already known to many Alcatrazz fans (as co-producer and also contributing songwriter for Alcatrazz's past 3 albums) Giles Lavery will be stepping up for the 2024 live dates - and with that we will be reintroducing many songs from the Alcatrazz past, including some not played in many years. Giles's first show is 22nd of March in New Orleans, lets all make him feel welcome and please lets also give a massive thank you to our dear friend Doogie White for everything he gave to this band since 2020, he is a true pro and a great person! Doogie has a video message to the fans that we will share later today as well. Jimmy, Gary, Joe, Larry.
    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
    • I remember my early days on the internet joining a group on Yahoo (yeah thats how long ago it was) and the woman who created the group was trying to persaude me how great Creed was, so much so that she sent me the first two albums on CD. I had no idea what they sounded like. When I played them all I could think is that they sounded like Pearl Jam, and I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I ended up trading them for something better. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but I somehow shared my CD collection online and she noticed straight away that the Creed CDs were not listed. She asked me why and I said I sold them as really did not like them, and got something I did like. She never spoke to me again after that
