Oh dear, here we go again. A thread full of people moaning about her vocals, again. Think it's all been said before, kids. We can go back over every single other Issa related thread and see the comments from last time. :(

I, for one, opened this thread because I am interested in the new tunes. To me, she holds as much - if not more - appeal than any other female fronted project. 'Crossfire' is easily one of the better albums I've heard in the last decade and I look forward to hearing what she releases next. 

If the thread's just going to be full of whingers I might just ignore the thread and wait for the album to be released and enjoy it in peace and quiet. ;)

Too much Cody cum in those ears. :whistle:

I really still don't understand the constant 'hate' for her vocals every time she releases an album. bit predictable if you ask me, but each to their own... I have heard 100 times worse over the years to be honest . she's certainly no Ann Wilson, but neither is she terrible. That being said, bar a couple of tracks that are pretty good on here, this is pretty run of the mill stuff and compared  to the Chez Kane album  it gets destroyed. 'Crossfire' is still her defining album which was really good with the Martin Bros. involvement

the vocals are ok actually, but as mentioned the songs are also just OK.

Chez Kane absolutely destroys this imo.

Agreed with everything you said here. Good/bad songwriting and production will make or break most albums, especially studio projects. Issa is a prime example of that.

I can see how her vocals grate on some but they were fine on Crossfire...

Yep, basically agree with every thing you say here. Except maybe I'm a bit fonder of the album. I think it's really quite a good album. I don't mind the heavier kind of feel to it, as that's where she came from with her debut. If anything, I think this is probably her most guitar orientated album, with some pretty cool guitar work on here. There's not actually a song I dislike on this, to be honest. Admittedly it's nothing ground breaking, but it's good. 

I was also thinking how much 'Crossfire' stands out in her discography, though, and that ironically it's probably her "softest" album. But it's pure class.

Anyway, agreed that it's a far cry off that super Chez Kane disc.

      By TheOriginalSplash · Posted

      Motley Crue signed with the country label from Tennessee Big Machine Rec.. New song Dogs of War relased on Friday the 26th. Other than that don't ask me what there doing they did a little video of them signing contract and it doesn't include John 5 so he's not really part of Motley he's a hired gun..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3iDklwv1PI&t=2s

      Not much information on the video's page, other than it appears to be an AI creation. Once it gets into the verse and especially the chorus, it's actually not too bad IMO.

      While I appreciate your interest in contributing to the site, most of the artists and albums you are submitting are either REALLLLLLY stretching the boundaries, or as in the case of this band, completely off the mark. No alternagrunge. No punk. No death metal/power metal (although those can be submitted to Brutal Metal). You can always start a thread asking about a particular artist before blindly submitting it for inclusion. Thanks! -Dan

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      DEEP PURPLE Announces New Album '=1' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET DEEP PURPLE, one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time, will release a new album, "=1", on July 19 via earMUSIC. The first single will be unveiled on April 30 at midnight, a taster for the full 13 tracks of pioneering and rip-roaring rock and roll. "=1" is the band's first album with sensational guitarist Simon McBride, who seamlessly slotted in when longtime member Steve Morse left due to personal circumstances. Since 2022, Simon has already played to DEEP PURPLE audiences totalling more than half a million people. ith three consecutive No. 1 albums in their back pocket and a resurgent new energy powering them forward, this is DEEP PURPLE at their pinnacle. "Now WHAT?!" (2013),"inFinite" (2017) and "Whoosh!" (2020) have sold over one million copies worldwide, making DEEP PURPLE one of the most successful rock bands currently active. The latest studio album, "Whoosh!", reached No. 1 on the album charts in seven countries and charted in the top 10 in another 12. "=1" track listing: 01. Show Me 02. A Bit On The Side 03. Sharp Shooter 04. Portable Door 05. Old-Fangled Thing 06. If I Were You 07. Pictures Of You 08. I'm Saying Nothin' 09. Lazy Sod 10. Now You're Talkin' 11. No Money To Burn 12. I'll Catch You 13. Bleeding Obvious In 2022 came the sad news of Steve Morse's departure due to personal circumstances, but DEEP PURPLE, never a band to let a set back throw them off course, sought out the masterful skills of guitarist Simon McBride and played the year out in style, exciting crowds with a new energy and excitement. Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that DEEP PURPLE are very much here to stay.
