0x worked best for me ;)

 

Well, if I could go back in time and never hit play, that would be optimal.

Yeah, I agree that it doesn't come close to when Santa Cruz were a band. 

But I have to say, I quite enjoy the new album. 

On this new album, I find that some of the heavy tracks irritate me a bit, specifically his voice. Just sounds too rough. But I must say, I actually like the album quite a bit. The first two songs are shit, and I don't care much for 'Standing My Ground' but outside of that, the rest of the album is all keepers to my ears. The melodic stuff like 'Dissarm me,' '1000 Cigarettes' and 'Would You Believe It,' I must admit, I was not expecting. And they're nice. As are the harder rockers like 'Under The Gun,' '10 Shots,' 'Another Round,' and 'Gunshot.' And I'm yet to hear a rock/metal version of 'Stay' that isn't awesome, and this is no different. 

Good album. I dig.

So I finally bit the bullet and bought this and unsurprisingly it really is not that great. Certainly not terrible as I do have a wide taste in music, but it's not what I want from Santa Cruz. The self titled album is still untouchable for me, as they really mixed the heavier elements well with their original hard rock style, but this just feels like an angry dude who was maybe not the main song writer just being angry for the sake of it.

One thing I noticed straight away was the direct lifting of lyrics from Marilyn Manson in the song Take me to America:

Manson:

And I don't want you and I don't need you
Don't bother to resist, or I'll beat you
It's not your fault that you're always wrong

The weak ones are there to justify the strong

Santa Cruz:

And I don't want you and I don't need you
This world has seen too much of your come through
It's not your fault that you're always wrong

Cause everything you do is gonna make me strong

    • Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".  
    • So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them.

    • I like the album art. I love when contemporary Glam Metal bands have album art with a genuine 80s vibe to it.
    • Nope, for a while, I used to think Rapunzel from Tangled (2010) was hot... But then I stopped being attracted to cartoon characters.
    • This is definitely the first time I've heard about it, I'll have to give it a listen!
