You just described not only Vega, but Eclipse, and Degreed as well for me; nothing wows me about any of them. 

I agree on Degreed. Eclipse, on the other hand, like H.E.A.T, have "something" that tends to grab me more...

I can't see how any fan of our genre wouldn't like this?!

mmm. I'd probably agree that Glow & Cmon are the 2 weakest tracks (by no means bad), but dude really?

Had Enough might be my fav track on the album and 2Die4 is inspired. Brilliant imo.

You're right, I was definitely too harsh. Had Enough is a typical Vega anthem and 2Die4 is a great closer.

I don't think it will unseat any of their first 3 albums as my favorites, but it could be their strongest since Stereo Messiah.

Different strokes and stuff but I agree. Stack it up against the usual sterile-sounding Frontiers crap and it's no contest.

dissing Vega & Degreed. 2 of my favourite bands.

Hey ho.

well if this is a band going through the motions,  I wish more bands would just 'go through the motions' !!

IMO this is an outstanding melodic rock album.

Great hooks, intelligent lyrics, love the solos, Nick sounds as good as ever and finally they have nailed the production.

I'd say their best so far or at least on a par with Stereo Messiah.

The 3 top bands that don't "grab" me are

Vega

Work Of Art

Degreed.

basically 3 of my fav bands of the last 5-10 years with HEAT & NFO rounding out the top 5.

I don't think Vega or Degreed or Work of Art are in the same league as H.e.a.t or Crazy Lixx or Eclipse.

The latter 3 bands are current A-tier artists in our genre.

To say Vega are as good as H.e.a.t. is like saying Britny Fox were as good as Cinderella. Yeah, nah. 😈

 

[Dead Planet]

We all have different tastes....I prefer Vega and H.e.a.t any day over Eclipse for instance....and I have little interest in Degreed and WOA.....

[Glen]

I like those bands too, but the last Eclipse album was pretty weak imo and the last Crazy Lixx only really had about 4 great songs. 

see what eclipse is like soon but the singles I've found pretty boring

I didnt say Vega were as good as HEAT. They weren't when Erik was there but he's gone now.

Vega are an amazing band live - I've seen them about 10 times, and there isn't much between them & HEAT. Erik was obviously an amazing front man. But Nick is also very good and certainly better than Martensson & Rexon who are v one dimensional imo

[Glen]

ps. seeing Vega on Saturday - first gig in 18 months

I find Vega very one dimensional, every albums sounds like the last. Not saying that is a bad thing because I like consistency in my favorite bands but Vega is just "ok" to me. To each their own!

Agree.

Some songs shouldn't be covered and this would be one of those.

This is a hit song done by a band with a very distinct and recognizable sound.  Not a good cover candidate IMO.
