The backing vox JSS did for Don on the 'Lightning Strikes Again' record were fantastic.If you listen to that record it almost sounds like a young Don Dokken backing himself up on the songs.This cat should've got the Journey' gig in my book.

New video for "Love Is The Revolution'.

From Frontiers:

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to present "Complicated", the eighth official studio album from veteran hard rock vocalist Jeff Scott Soto. "Complicated" will be released on May 6, 2022 on CD, Color LP, and Digital formats. 

As with his previous studio album of all new material, “Wide Awake (In My Dreamland)", Soto teamed up with producer and songwriter Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, Revolution Saints, Edge Of Forever) to craft "Complicated". Arguably the best JSS album since Damage Control, "Complicated" has a Talisman and even a W.E.T. (Jeff's band with members of Eclipse and Work Of Art) feel to it, but all feels wholly Jeff Scott Soto at the end of the day. 

Jeff Scott Soto has more than 60 albums under his belt along with numerous collaborations and recordings. He has established himself as a consummate professional who manages to expertly deliver with his vocal performances across multiple musical genres, from metal to hard rock to progressive rock and even funk. His career spans nearly thirty years, beginning as the vocalist for guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen before coming the frontman for bands such as Talisman, Soul SirkUS, Sons of Apollo (featuring Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy, Derek Sherinian and Bumblefoot), as well as an ongoing membership in Trans-Siberian Orchestra and a stint as the lead singer for the legendary classic rock band Journey.

In 1994, Soto released his first solo album, ‘Love Parade’, followed years later by the acclaimed 'Prism' (2002), then 'Lost In The Translation' (2005), 'Beautiful Mess' (2009), “Damage Control” (2012), “Retribution” (2017), "Wide Awake (In My Dreamland)" (2020), and "The Duets Collection, Vol. 1" (2021).  Soto is an extraordinary performer and amazing vocalist. He delivers on hard rocking tracks with incredible energy and easily transitions to a powerful performance on epic ballads.

Tracklist:

1. Last To Know

2. Disbelieving

3. Home Again

4. Love Is The Revolution

5. Until I See You Again

6. Complicated

7. Don't Look Back

The album is fine... sounds great... but all the songs blur together after a while. So formulaic.

So it's an Alessandro Del Vecchio album.

Solid enough album with about 5 keepers. But yeah, definitely not going to set anyone's world alight, that's for sure.

Frontiers are the Stock,Aitken, Waterman of the rock world, everything sounds the same.

Ouch but I'm starting to think that is true of about 70% of their stuff. The bands they sign who already exist though, and write their own stuff, these are better.

Agree, if they sign an existing band and let them continue to write their own stuff that's great, but once ADV and the whole Frontiers cookie cutter production team get involved then it's Stock,Aitken,Waterman time...

      Thunder reissues part 2

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.

      Babymetal

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
