New album 'Crysteria' out January 28. 

Sounds good.

Press release:

The CD Digipak contains two bonus tracks that will not be included on the planned vinyl LP, which will be released later in 2022. One of these songs is the band duet "Crystal Heart" with CRYSTAL BALL's label mates and friends Jaded Heart.

With "CRYSTERIA" CRYSTAL BALL open a new chapter in their band history. Now, in the 3rd decade of their existence, the band is far from repeating themselves and so new, fresh and energetic elements can be found in their songs.

03. Call Of The Wild (Feat. Ronnie Romero)

If you are fan of Stratovaius or Helloween.

I suggest " In The Beginning " and then work together other  albums. If you cannot or a forward , they did a best of , 2020.

What is considered their best album?

Their first two albums are absolute light years ahead of anything they've recorded since. Straight from Victory's handbook on how to be an awesome band. Highly recommended, whereas you can pass on the rest of the discography, sadly.

I'm hoping you know what I like, so I'll give them a go.
That said, often you are bewildered at what I like :)

Haha, this is true. But these guys are a bit different. They're very one-dimensional and it's not like their sound has ever changed. I don't think a single fan of this band would say that their first two albums are not the best and if you say otherwise you're probably just being different for the sake of being different. Always the same style, but the songs on the first two albums are so much better than anything else they ever did.

That is Crystal Ball after their first two albums. Unfortunately, I think this one is the worst yet. Just mundane crap, if I'm being completely honest.

    • Wow, why go through all that for just lies.  
    • Looks like complete bullshit. Look at all of the videos from this channel: https://www.youtube.com/@infogaming786/videos
    • Is this true, I don't see much about it anywhere else?  
    • Well they just posted this on Facebook, so I would certainly hope this is a sign a new album is incoming
    • Sounds pretty good all round...just preordered..released 22nd Nov  
    • Luckily I will hopefully be front row so wont make a mess on anyones back.
    • If we never hear from you again, at least we'll know you went out with a smile on your face. 
    • Wow! Thank you so much mate. That's a massive compliment. That was the first one I wrote and I think it's my favourite so far. Like Geoff, I'm tending to draw on past personal experiences for my lyrics and that one means a lot. I was thrilled when the AI came up with that interpretation. 
    • Well this is some excellent news. Going to see Sophie Lloyds first headline show on 17th Oct in London (tiny club called The Underworld) and it has just been announced that the support act will be Chez Kane... can I handle two fit birds peforming on stage or will my heart give out before the show is over?
    • I don't rate or grade albums with any kinda numbering system or percentage. All I do is think which were the albums I enjoyed most, which generally means got played the most (I mean you don't play the worst albums over and over again for months), with memorable songs. Then when it comes to what order they go in. Once again, I just go with what I feel got the most airplay for me over the course of time. Obviously an album released in Jan is gonna potentially have more play time than one released in November, but It's down to longevity as well. If I play an album solidly for a month then move on, it's probably gonna be top 10, but if other albums are still being played regularly 3 or more months after release, those are gonna rank higher. I mean this year Judas Priest was a fairly early release in the year, but I am still playing it now, although  not as often. Then an album like Mick Mars which I loved, but has kinda fallen off my radar in the last six months, will rank a lot lower. I try to not go for recency bias as well even though I have been listening to one album in my top 10 for only a week, but it was such an insantaneous album I know its gonna get heavy play time for the next few months.
