Sorry for stealing your thunder Aordave but I think this deserves a thread on its own.

Following a 4-year hiatus and just recently receiving gold awards for their first three albums in Finland, singer Olli Herman and his band are now gearing up for their next move: ‚Turborider‘ is high-energy, synth-wave-infused rock with an undeniable 80’s touch. Fun? Check! Uplifting? Check! ‚Turborider‘ will make you forget the world around you and its infectious hooks will make you sing along all  day.

First 2 singles are a pass, and with synth in the description of the whole album scares me.

You don't like Outrun?? Excellent song.

I like them both but neither of them touch Loaded.

Which is not in the album. 

I'm also not a huge fan of them taking this direction.

Synth Autotune.... Max Headroom goes Metal?

Outrun is "ok" at best, other one is a no for me. Loaded is great and a little more in their Melodic side. Not into synth music, even when I was 12 in the early 80's I only liked a song here ir there.

I like both of the above songs, being a retrowave fan, but I can see how longtime fans of the band might not.

[Dead Planet]

I'm not in love with this new direction that they are taking but I do like Outrun, not so much the 2nd song....hopefully the full release will be okay but I also hope this album is a one off and they return to their previous style.....

The title track dropped and it reminds me of Judas Priest but is still the sound that has become Reckless Love. 
 

Pepe the guitarist isn’t talked about very much but his solos are amongst my favourites over the past few years. They may be short but most are flashy, unique and memorable. Not the shred by numbers that goes unnoticed…you clearly hear and anticipate every one of his guitar solos.

Totally agree. Apart from the guitar gods and the virtuosos, there are some guitarists that i really like and appreciate. You are right Pepe is a magnificent guitar player. When you hear his solos and his riffs you know they are of top quality. Others in the same calibre in my opinion are Satchel(Steel Panther), Robby Boebel(Frontline), Mike Slamer, Trond Holter(Wig Wam), Sven Larsson(Street Talk).

New song 'Turborider'.

Was totally not expecting that. Even after you mentioned it.

Pretty sure I said this years and years ago. I've always thought he was one of the more creative soloists.

Those guitars smoke!

Not sure why people are hyping this.

Synthwave Rocks... this album is going to be so good

[Crazysam]

The shift in style just isn't clicking for me.  If I want to listen to synthwave there are plenty of bands who do it better.  I was really looking forward to a new release from these guys after the 5 year wait.  So I'll still give the album a few spins in hopes it will grow on me.  But based on the first few tracks I'll probably be passing on this one

And I'm the opposite. I like what I've heard and look forward to the full album.

About half way through the album and they have really leaned into, nay fully embraced synthwave throughout. I dig it, but others likely won't. 

Oh, and the synthwave cover of Ozzy's Bark at the Moon is a great take on a classic tune.
