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

      Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.

      Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".

      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
