Worst Of The Recent Reunion Releases

[AlphaMale]

Just wondering what you all think of recent releases from the popular bands from the 80's/90's.

Remember, please pick the worst among these! You can pick more than one!!

Your vote counts!!

Well sorry to be all-encompassing, but I voted for all but Roxy Blue and Babylon AD. I thought that all things being equal, the new Roxy Blue was not much better/worse than the debut because although the debut had a cool vibe and style, at the end of the day, I only kept three ballads / mid-tempo tunes off each album.

And Babylon AD is monster stand-out from this list as it's actually a very good to excellent album. Nothing dud about that. 

And I have to say, I wish I could retract my vote for Banshee as that wasn't that bad. Never was a made fan, but it was a decent throwback to their sound. 

But they rest - they all suck!

For what it's worth, the worst of the worst;

Tora Tora

TNT 

Riverdogs

Spread Eagle 

[Crazysam]

I am surprised you didn't include Quiet Riot or Enuff Z' Nuff.   I'm with Geoff on picking Babylon AD's album as the standout of this group. Roxanne wasn't far behind returning with a pretty good release. There were other albums that I thought had a few solid tracks or were OK listens overall, but most of these were disappointing when compared to their early releases.  But for me the worst of these were:

Roxy Blue - horrible - a modern/grungy sounding mess of an album that was as far away from the original sound as any of the artists

TNT - XIII - no fault of the new vocalist who I thought did a nice job, this just paled in comparison to their best efforts, while there were a few OK tracks it was another in a line of major let downs from a band that I had considered my favorite for years

Roxy Blue hands down, but Axe gets an honorable mention for being horribly disappointing.

Babylon A.D was a pretty good comeback album liked that one a lot....but of the list above I went with Kane Roberts,that was a major disappointment for me because I so wanted another Saints & Sinners even though I knew that I wouldn't...but one can hope..so many others there Steelheart,Spread Eagle,Roxanne,Jetboy & Roxy Blue were awful for me...and as Crazysam added Enuff Z' Nuff & Quiet Riot as both recent release sucked so much balls...but then again I wasn't holding out hope in either of those bands,others had promise but ultimately were let downs.

wait could I vote for more than 1?

Yes!

Sorry dude,jumped the gun so to speak and took it I only got one,the others I mentioned can be seen as votes then

[phaffas]

Most of these i cant say if they are bad or not.. simply because i assume all of them are bad and had no interest in hearing.

 

Tesla was ok... some rubbish on it.. but mostly solid.

[crazynights]

Kane Roberts win , the worst come back Imo. Too much heavy and modern, I enjoi the video with Alice Cooper.

I didn' t like the latest from Steelheart.

Spread Eagle was my of my favorite 2019 release, I' m surprise the get 3 votes.

I enjoy the new Tnt ,.
