Oh and yeah, this sounds like something that could have been on ATN. I knew all of this "throw back to the first two albums" stuff would end up being a load of old guff.

It sounds more like the first two albums to me...

Well this is Heavy Harmonies, the home of 80s rock.

Cheesy lyrics is what this whole genre was built on.

Makes in an automatic buy for me (well it already was, but you get my meaning).

I'm not sure anybody ever said it would be a throwback to the first two albums though.  I remember reading band member quotes saying they were going for a melodic rock album somewhere between ATN and TDTW.  And I think that describes this track perfectly.  It's kinda like a cross between Better Off Alone and Emergency or something.

Either way, it doesn't matter....It's just damn good :headbanger:

What would you say this quote in the original post says then?

"This is how we would sound if we made a debut album 2019, hence the title."

that says nothing about it sounding like the debut with Kenny.

Why would they reference its what their debut would sound like in 2019 and call it H.E.A.T. 2  unless they are hinting that its a variation of the sound of the debut?

If they are not saying that, then they could say the same thing with any of their albums. Oh, Address the nation sounds like debut if we had recorded it this year. Tearing down the walls is how a debut album would sound if it was recorded this year.

 

You do not reference it being essentially how your debut would sound in a certain year unless you are trying to at least partially throw back to the sound of the original.

I read that they're calling it H.e.a.t II because they're producing the album themselves and not with Tobias or anyone else.  It's their first time trying this approach so that's why their doing the whole "debut" again theme and not necessarily that they're trying to sound like their first album.

I think all they are saying is this album is going to be their signature sound

ie most bands sound most authentic on their debut. 

that's all. 

So they wanna sound like they did on the debut ... thats what I said.

It's actually a 60 second sample, but, yeah. 

The yelling "Rise!" in the chorus is a bit odd, but not enough to be off-putting.

    • Excellent 'new' song with Giant. From MelodicRock Classics: The arrival of any new VAN STEPHENSON music is met with huge anticipation. This release is just a little different from the norm, but no less exciting or musically brilliant.   This is Van Stephenson, but with a little help from his friends.   As most will be aware, over the course of the last couple of years, I have been archiving Van's vast collection of unreleased songs and demos. There are more than 500, covering all styles from 70s singer/songwriter, 80s AOR and pop to 90s country…and then some.   The ultimate goal is to pay tribute to Van with some form of all-inclusive box set/s. During the course of sorting the archives into categories, a certain number of tracks were found to feature vocalists other than Van. I decided that the box sets should be dedicated to just Van with his songs, so the idea came to put together a separate release that featured these songs - Van's own or co-written demos and the various vocalists used on those original sessions.   Hence the title – 'Same Pen, Different Voices'.   And while Van's voice may be absent from this release – his spirit and his style are all over it, with some absolute melodic classics about to be launched. This is a double disc of lost Van Stephenson tunes written with many of his regular writing partners such as Dave Innis, Sam Lorber, Robert White Johnson, Bob Farrell and Dave Robbins.   But that isn't all. Lost among the hundreds of songs were a set of session tracks written with Dann Huff for the classic Giant 'Time To Burn' album. One of those songs has already been featured on the 'Van's Versions' release ('Get Over It'), but I'm excited to announce the others will all make their debut on this release and they all feature the voice of Dann Huff himself.   Three of these tracks have never been released before and I must thank Dann for his co-operation in this release and allowing the tracks to finally see the light of day.   They may have been lost for 30 years, but they are magnificent!   It doesn't stop there – there is a trilogy of songs co-written with Jaime Kyle (previously released), two featuring vocalist Robert White Johnson and another featuring TJ Seals, son of Dan Seals.   Sadly, we couldn't ask Van himself about the details behind these songs, so many are still missing credits and even the vocalists themselves are unknown in many cases. I have managed to fill in the details behind some of them thanks to the co-writers, but to all those that are featured on the songs – thank you for adding your talents to Van's legacy and please know that the performances delivered some 20-30 years ago now live on today and sound as good as ever.   Disc 1 is all male lead vocals; Disc 2 is mostly female lead vocals.   Van Stephenson – Same Pen, Different Voices 2CD set will be released by MelodicRock Classics July 26.   The awesome cover art is the brainchild of Arnaud Leger.   Track Listing:   CD1:   01. Holding On For Dear Life (Van Stephenson, Dann Huff) Performed by: Dann Huff, David Huff, Alan Pasqua, Mike Brignardello   02.

    • Album out now. Rest of the album:                
    • Excellent! I dig these guys!  Heavy, melodic, hooks...good stuff. Have liked all their recent tunes.
    • ... And rocking out hard like a rock and roll saviour madlad! 😁  
    • In '73, Rick Allen was 10 years old. 
    • The most I will spend on a CD is £30 and I have to be really desperate for it to spend that much. According to Discogs, my most valuable CDs are the Jap Ratt EP (£351), Metal Shop - Hole patrol (£273) Metal Skool version of same album (£195) and Kane Roberts - Unsung Radio 2CD (£191) ... I didn't pay anywhere close to those prices (and not even close to me £30 limit)
