Cruzh - Tropical Thunder

[lettard]

Yeah liked that, thought that the original punch in the beginning died off a bit though..wish that had continued right through the song,but enjoyed it none the less.

Checked out the samples for the album on I Tunes last night.  Always tough to tell much from samples but I guess initially I'm not really taken by it.  

A few songs sounded decent enough but feeling like this will be a streamer maybe worth checking out but not something I'll be running out to buy a CD of.

I'm still a bit iffy on the vocals.  They sounded fine to me in the first single but in some of the samples I'm not so sure I'm sold.  

We'll see as more tunes drop if it grows on me or not.

Same...Like that also.  Really sounds quite different than anything on their debut to my ears at least.  Sort of has a cleaner, modern type feel to it but also some classic Def Leppard-ish type sound mixed in also.

Will be interesting to hear how some of the more up tempo stuff sounds as it seems like they're claiming this is a heavier album overall.

It's a little poppy and safe but I believe that the album would be heavier just based on the production. The debut didn't really push the envelope in that regard.

Looking forward to hearing more. I'm intrigued.

Nice cover art. Could be an album from the 80's.

I like it

[lettard]

Yeah definately looks the part.

[Eric3]

Looks more like a neo-prog cover to me but yes, very aesthetically pleasing.

New song 'Turn Back Time'.

I thought the first song was pretty good but I'm a bit meh on this one.

Not really hearing the edgier vibe they mentioned yet.....

That was the first thing I thought when I listened to the Itunes samples. 

Didn't get the feeling of the last album, yet. Not a big fan of the new singer. And I think it's a bit unauthentic to produce a video with the photo album full of old memories when the new singer just joined...

Yeah, this new track is pretty blah.  And no bite or edge to it at all.

That last track posted reminds me a lot of Danger Danger

Me too. I think it's the chorus riff. I like it, and I definitely prefer this vocalist to the previous one.

Nice tune, and yeah, I can hear the D2 / The Defiants vibe. Cool album cover.

The new track has a little more edge to it musically, but unfortunately the chorus doesn't really grab me.  I thought the first single was ok, so I'll give the album a spin, but this will probably be a pass for me.

Exactly the same for me.

First single was pretty decent but second song really didn't do much for me.  I like the edge in this new tune but still not really grabbing me at all.  

I'll probably try the album when it drops but pretty much already have in my head it'll be a pass.  Mostly I just don't think the vocals are doing much for me.

OK, the music in this one is absolutely fantastic.  There is a *GREAT* song in there waiting to come out.  But the chorus is terrible and I'm not crazy about the rest of the lyrics and singing either.

[DorrianWolf]

I really like the riff,and it starts as a killer tune but chorus falls flat. Could be better.

[zacharyamelie]

Agree with everyone good music, terrible chorus…another “what could have been” story. The lyrics are also very lame

Sounds good,hoping for that big Lep sound if im honest,their debut though having its moments mainly passed me by,so this is showing promise.

try "Walk the Walk". Has Def Lep sound.

Already have   an excellent album

[lettard]

Another I received today,it is actually better than id expected if that makes sense? Playing it through as a cd makes the songs sound more gelled and  makes it run along smoother than I thought it would given my opinion on the already released tracks..still wish they'd have gone for a grittier singer though...woulda made this sound better for me.

New song 'New York Nights'.
