I actually really dislike the 'Forevermore' song, but looking forward to the album anyway. 

They honestly cancelled that tour because one of them had covid? That can't be serious, can it? That's like cancelling a tour because one of them has a cold. Well, that is what it actually is.

This is surprisingly a really good album and the best one they have done for ages. There's a couple of fillers, but it gets off to a really good start with the excellent 'Out Of The Dark' and 'High N Dry'. ''Forevermore' is an ok song and gets better with repeated listens and I also like the Gary Moore style instrumental track '79' too. This is a nice surprise in general, as whilst I quite liked the last album, I didn't think they would ever release a really good one again...and they have

Enjoyed this quite a bit...went in as I have done with Wig Wam recently a bit iffy...but its a sort of return to form..some filler as pointed out above...but for me the best they've put out since Wig Wamania...although with the releases since then being sort of underwhelming it wasn't hard...but to give this credit its actually very good in places and overall enjoyable..79 reminds me of Parisian Walkways in tone

The songs itself are not bad, still there are no hits such as 'in my dreams', 'hard to be a rock'n'roller' or 'do ya wanna taste it'. 

The problem I have is the production. It's really loud, especially the guitars but when I'm driving I can't make out melodies or riffs, I only hear noise. It's s pretty strenuous sound.

Finally getting a chance to listen to this one today... my expectations weren't very high, but damn if I'm not enjoying it immensely so far at 5 songs in. Agree with Lettard, "Bad Luck Chuck" is the most classic Wig Wam sounding track... well, at least that I've heard so far. Pleasantly surprised atm...  :banger:

I know what you mean but in all honesty I wasn't expecting them to put anything like that out myself..its been 17 years or in the case of Do You Wanna Taste it 13 since that classic stuff...even the album that Do You Wanna Taste It came from wasnt that great :)

I feel a bit awkward in saying this, but I think the album's pretty shit. 'Out of the dark,' 'Uppercut Shazam' and 'The American Dream' are all decent tunes, but not exactly anywhere on par with any of their best stuff. Not even anywhere near as good as the best tracks from the last album. As for the rest of the album... it's all a pass. 

I dunno, I know people kick up a fuss about comments like this, but I thought they were invincible with those first two albums... didn't think they could make a bad album if they tried. I'm not saying I expect them to re-record those two albums, but I do wonder what happens to the ability to write great tunes. It's hard to think of anything like song-writing, where it seems in so many cases that the skill weakens over time rather than gets better with time. Why, I ask. 

On a positive note, I like the heaviness of the album, but very little else. They're just poor songs, imo.

Because of the otherwise positive response. Kind of like with KD last year… like I’m not hearing what everyone else is.

      Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger

      I like the album art. I love when contemporary Glam Metal bands have album art with a genuine 80s vibe to it.

      Nope, for a while, I used to think Rapunzel from Tangled (2010) was hot... But then I stopped being attracted to cartoon characters.
