The choruses seem too repetitive and pretty samey and the music sounds pretty much as in any other martensson song but pretty underwhelming. This is my first impression, don't know if there will be a second. Oh, I really liked the first single by the way. You listened to samples for the new album "Wired"??

Geoff Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 lol, I don't know why but I hadn't paid any attention to this thread... just didn't consider a new album due from these guys already(?). Anyway, I dig that tune. Sounds really good, which is not unexpected, but I'm not hit with a samey-ness buzzkill. Good gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Yeah, that's definitely not same-y Eclipse. It's much heavier for one thing. Not exactly their best song but really good nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly their best song but really good nonetheless. Agree. Dig the heavier riffs. Not a song that overly "wows" me but sounds pretty decent to me. Here's 30 second samples of the album: https://us.7digital.com/artist/eclipse/release/wired-16530024 Gave them a quick listen and sounding pretty good to me. It's tough to tell a lot from only 30 seconds though. Will have to check out 90 second samples on I Tunes when I get a chance. Yeah, maybe a little bit samey but at this point I think you just know what you're going to get with these guys. At least there's no songs with "Blood" in the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eclipse is my favorite band and those quick samples sounded like stuff I'll love. Can't wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y&TForever Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Not super thrilled with the song. I’m not the type that likes music for just being heavier…needs that melodic element too. Hopefully the rest of the album is better… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melodicrock Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Two of the weaker songs on the album are the 2 lead singles. I don't get that at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tts42572 Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) Checked the 90 second samples on this today and gave them all a good listen. Sounding pretty good to me and think it could exceed the past couple albums. Not that I didn't enjoy the past couple albums but I feel like the formula got a bit tired on the last one. First few songs seem pretty good but I think for me this album might pick up steam in the second half. Twilight, Poison Inside My Heart and We Didn't Come To Lose all are kind of jumping out at me. And Bite The Bullet is growing on me....dig the heavier riffs. I like that they went with a different type of album art too and got away from the same tired design they'd been using. Had been a bit lukewarm initially but looking forward to this one now. This and Crazy Lixx could make a good close to the year.

Tabe Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yep, that's Eclipse. I dig the song but it's nothing special in their catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tts42572 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I like it. Yeah, it's Eclipse. Agree that it doesn't overly blow me away but still a good, listenable, melodic rock tune. It kind of reminds me a bit of song like say Delirious from the last album. I think it might work well with it's placement on the album right after the ballad Carved In Stone to bring up the tempo.
