this is fast becoming one of my favs of 2022.

I love all 10 songs. 

Huh. I've never invested much time into this band, but if you're serious about that then I'll give this album a try.

I would definitely check out YT samples before investing as the vocals can be somewhat of an acquired taste... a bit Justin Hawkins-esque at times.

Well, it would be via the Spotifies. No monetary investment, only my time.

Ditto.

I've always liked what I've heard from Muse, but I've never really actively sought out their stuff for some reason.

I may have to rectify that.

harsh lol. no one is as bad as him 🤣🤣

I agree that Muse can be an acquired taste and on previous albums I've probably only liked about 50% tbh.

This one really appeals to me though.

2 great synthwave styled songs, 2 great ballads and 2 or 3 cool rockers as well.

Not only is it musically good, but I love the theme. While not a concept album per se, it's definitely an anthem to the struggles of the people against oppressive jackbooted governments over the last 2 years; very V-for-Vendetta/Orwell's 1984 tone throughout. From the opening "Will of the People", the poignant (and accurate) "Compliance" (possibly the best song on the album IMO) through to the rousing and apt finale "We Are Fucking Fucked!", it's freaking great.

Yes, don't pay attention to the negative reviews out there. I am suspicious that they are politically motivated. It is a very good album. If I have one tiny issue it is how immediate it is, not as proggy as some of my favourite albums by Muse. But this band is so good I look forward to every release.

IMO their best 3 albums are still Absolution, Black Holes & Revelations and Origin of Symmetry. But they haven't released a bad album.

Brilliant band and one i've followed since their first album. The new one is really good, not quite their best, Absolution, The 2nd Law and The Resistance edges it,  but it's right up there. Got my tickets for the tour next year year...one of the best live bands around

      Voodoo Angel - Moulin Rouge

      By Stefan · Posted

      From Lions Pride Music: Voodoo Angel ANNOUNCES THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THEIR SECOND ALBUM, #MOULINROUGE UNDER Lions Pride Music - OUT NOVEMBER 29, 2024. Band: Voodoo Angel Album: Moulin Rouge Label: Lions Pride Music Catalogue Number: LPM089 Release Date: November 29, 2024   The wait is over. Voodoo Angel, the electrifying sleaze-metal phenomenon, is set to release their second studio album, Moulin Rouge, on November 29, 2024, under the esteemed Lions Pride Music label. Following the success of their 2022 debut, First Spell, the band is poised to deliver another hard-hitting collection of tracks that are unapologetically loud, thrilling, and unforgettable. Moulin Rouge is a testament to Voodoo Angel's relentless energy and unique sound—a fusion of sleaze, metal, and pure rock that has captivated audiences worldwide. The album features ten explosive tracks, including the anthemic opener "We're Still Alive," the poignant "When Life Passes You By," and the gritty "Daddy's Back To The Madam." Fans can expect the same raw power and intensity that made Voodoo Angel a global sensation. Tracklist: 01. We're Still Alive 02. When Life Passes You By 03. Broken 04. It's Gonna Hurt 05. Daddy's Back To The Madam 06. I Won't Stand In Line 07. More 08. Sin City 09. Come & Get It 10. So Pretty   Voodoo Angel's rise to fame is nothing short of legendary. From their beer-fueled beginnings to their viral sleaze-metal renditions of pop classics like "Billie Jean" and INXS's "Devil Inside," the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music. Their original compositions, such as "Wake Me When It's Done," have further solidified their place in the rock pantheon, amassing fans from Europe to Australia. The band's lineup, featuring Jean-Luc Rumèbe (Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys), Jim Red (Bass guitar & Backing vocals), Christophe Mouynet (Lead Guitars & Backing vocals), and Thomas Feuga (Drums & Backing vocals), is a powerhouse of talent and chemistry. Together, they have crafted Moulin Rouge, an album that not only meets but exceeds the high expectations set by their debut. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jean-Luc Rumèbe at JLR Studio Productions in France, Moulin Rouge is a sonic masterpiece. Rumèbe, who also composed, wrote, and arranged the album, brings his signature style to every track, ensuring that each song is a testament to Voodoo Angel's raw, unfiltered power. Fans can catch a glimpse of what's to come with the album sampler and artwork, both of which reflect the band’s distinctive aesthetic. Additionally, the track "So Pretty" features special guest backing vocals by Ricky Kearns, adding another layer of depth to the album. As Voodoo Angel prepares to unleash Moulin Rouge upon the world, one thing is certain: this band is here to stay. With a global deal with Lions Pride Music and a second album that is destined to become a modern rock classic, Voodoo Angel is set to electrify the world once again. Voodoo Angel is: Jean-Luc Rumèbe : Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys Jim Red : Bass guitar & Backing vocals Christophe Mouynet : Lead Guitars & Backing vocals Thomas Feuga : Drums & Backing vocals Additional Backing Vocals on „So Pretty“ by Ricky Kearns

      Ah, the old record label make a quick buck off bands they dropped years ago sets where they are just bare bones albums with no bonus material. I thought maybe I missed box sets with bonus stuff. But once again, still reasonably priced.

      Guns N Roses - Appetite for destruction super deluxe reissue?

      By heavyharmonies · Posted

      Dredging this up again, as you can now find this set new for about $50-60 shipped on eBay. I just finally bought it to get the 5.1 channel blu-ray version of the album. $179 for the set? No fucking way. But $50? Ehh, ok. more reasonable IMO.
