Crashdiet - Automaton

[Glen]

I listened to it again today and was actually getting a bit of a Skid Row vibe.

It still pretty much a sleaze album for me though. 

And it still sounds more like Crashdiet than anything else if I'm honest.

Debut will always be the best for me, then Generation Wild and then this one third.

I mean let's not forget the 2 or 3 pretty average fillers on this  Big ballsy sound yeah but there's a bit of lull here and there

Ranking third behind those two albums is no insult.

Agree with the Skid Row vibe in spots.

I'm not really getting much of a lull in this though.  I'd say maybe Powerline is probably the lowest point for me but that's still okay.  Enjoying all the rest.  I'd say the first 4 songs are probably my highlights but I dig Resurrection of the Damned quite a bit too.  I get a big Guns N Roses vibe from that one.   

I'll have to spend more time listening to the debut and Generation Wild.  I know I remember sampling them at one point very briefly and nothing ever grabbed me for whatever reason.

Either way, really nice surprise here as this wasn't on my radar at all.

Soooo...only the one member still up for touring? Drummer (Eric Young) & Bass player (Peter London) announced earlier in the year that they were taking a break due to burnout now the singer (Gabriel Keyes) has announced today that he's doing the same...leaving only Martin Sweet...hmmmm

I guess having one actual member stops it from being a covers band?

Oh wow, that seems like pretty significant news. Hope there's still a future for the band to be active in.
