Catalano - Wildest Dreams

[simo]

 

[Geoff]

Jeez it's hard to justify those lead vocals, but fuck me that's an awesome tune. Love it. Does he sound even rougher now than before, lol? 

[Glen]

song is OK , but yeah those vocals (and production) is pretty weak

[AlphaMale]

Those vocals are terrible. Song isn't too bad.

[lettard]

Just sounds like the stuff from Dark Skies to me

[simo]

It's not the major coup I had hoped for from them, mainly disappointed with the production which I really hoped they would improve this time around. Sadly the solos sound uninspired, guitars don't pack a lot of punch (due to the mix) the vocals are ok I think but the singer has done better in the past

Lettard is right sonically it sounds very similiar to Dark Skies. Let's see what the rest of the album will sound like but I won't be getting my hopes up too much after this. Wonder if they're aiming for a February 29 release again cause that's the date the debut came out in 2016

[Crazysam]

solid tune, wasn't this new album supposed to be out about a year ago?  I wonder what caused the delay

Interesting...I wasn't even aware of that fact...thanx

That's a good song seriously marred--if not outright ruined--by some pretty nasty (and not in a good way) lead vocals.

[Geoff]

Nice. I'm into it. 

[lettard]

Good stuff,like these guys

[simo]

New album "Nightfighter" released without much fanfare on 29 February

 

[Glen]

got it lined up

 

[Glen]

good album. He can't sing and his finest moment will forever be Street Level but this is quite rocking actually

Fav tune is Lost in Love

 

 

[Glen]

listening to this album though I can't help thinking how much better it would be with Erik or Harry singing 

Good songs

[lettard]

simo called this one right on the release date   no fanfare at all and sounding quite good to my ears....wonder if a physical release is on the cards?

[simo]

A mixed bag for me so far, still spinning it

[Geoff]

Oh shit, I didn't know. Had an absolute c#nt of a fortnight with a factory reset of my laptop and losing everything on a 4tb external drive, but hopefully I can start to regroup soon and catch up on stuff like this, which I'm really looking forward to hearing. 

[lettard]

I'm liking it,not a million miles from the Dark Skies album which is fine by me,enjoyed that and enjoy this 

[AlphaMale]

Pretty good album. If only he could sing.

[simo]

Few good tunes but didn't meet my expectations. Just to demonstrate I've assigned a "rating" to each song but very simplified:

Good - songs I like and would choose to play outside of listening to the album

Bad - a song I'm inclined to skip

Neutral - can take it or leave it, if it comes on I will probably let it play

Livin It Up - neutral

Set This City On Fire - neutral / bad (50/50) the chorus brings it down for me otherwise the song has some nice parts 

Nightfighter - good unfortunately no guitar solo

Wildest Dreams - neutral 

Overdrive - neutral

Saturday Night - bad 

What I Want - good

Lost In Love - bad

Rock The World - good

So 3 songs in each category more or less
