Is this the first time two offshoots of the same band have released albums with different lineups under the exact same name? I mean, we still knew JR's Great White was separate from Great White, right?  Stranger than fiction for certain.

 

Geoff Tate's version of Queensryche: https://heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/glamcd.cgi?BandNum=1921&CDName=Frequency+Unknown

and the Todd LaTorre led version: https://heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/glamcd.cgi?BandNum=1921&CDName=Queensryche+(2013)

Both released in 2013 using the Queensryche name.

I have a feeling that this might be better than the 2 Tracii/Phil comeback releases. The Missing Peace was okay but not great and I didn't like most of The Devil You Know.

I don't know what it is but there's something missing for me.

I actually like Tales From The Strip and Hollywood Forever better than the last two.

Don't know much about this one but I loved the last 2 LA Guns releases with Phil and Tracy

It's not bad but certainly didn't blow me away.

Very generous, mate. I thought it was pretty awful. Only redeeming quality is the guitar in that prechorus thing.

Doesn't really sound like L.A. Guns and the chorus sucks.

Wonder how Golden Robot Records going to promote this, we saw how much they spent on A New Revenge ?

Yes, they given us  previews songs, but what about "coming soon ".

[AlphaMale]

To me that doesn't sound a bit like L.A. Guns. Tracii, Phil or otherwise.

New song

[Dead Planet]

I like enough of what I hear to pick up the cd....

[AlphaMale]

This is actually a pretty good CD. The singles released aren't the better songs on the disc.

My favorites are the rocking "Lost Boys" and "You Can't Walk Away". I also liked "Would", "Why Ask Why" and "All That You Are".

"Witchcraft" and "Don't Wanna Know" were insta-skips after 30 seconds.

Not mind-blowing stuff. But good solid hard rock. Doesn't really remind you of L.A. Guns very much.

Not sure whether to try this or not. I'm actually more worried it might have redeeming features.

It's really not too bad.

[Metal T]

If hell froze over and Blackie reunited the classic line up of WASP...Steve Riley would drop this entire project in a heartbeat..he's been pulling for a WASP reunion for years.

[Metal T]

Any LA GUNS without Phil behind the mic doesn't work for me

[AlphaMale]

If you listen with an open mind, it's not a bad release. I found a few keepers.

[Aordave89]

Gave this a spin a few times as a fan of L.A. Guns (Phil and Tracii version that is) but just find it weak and forgettable. Not a patch on the real Guns. 

[PeterS]

It'll get spun again. For sure not dreadful. Well , except one ballad that immediately annoyed me.

It's gonna have to come down in price before I entertain the thought of buying it
