Captain Howdy Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 Got the album this morning and I fucking love it. While most of the singers are unknown to me and are obviously from modern bands, the album really does straddle that old school sound mixed with more modern rock. Some absolute belters on this (this isn't actually one of the strongest, but still a cool tune) and surprised how much I am enjoying it (already on my third playthrough). Where it really gives that old school feel is with the guitar solos. Weirdly, the two vocalists who have the proper old school vibe, Lzzy Hale and Michael Starr don't get the ripping guitar solos that most of the other guys get. While I don't like comparing artists, considering I just picked up the new Nita Strauss album a few days ago I think it's only natural to compare them because they are both female guitarists with guest singers, but for me Sophie wins this round. Nita is more metal and Sophie is more hard rock, and there is just more variety on Sophies album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Yeah, pretty decent album. I agree I'd prefer it to the Nita Strauss one too. Favourite two tunes are the title track with Lizzy Hale, and, surprisingly, the dude from TFK delivers my other favourite, with 'Avalanche.' 'Runaway' with Starr and 'Fall of Man' with the guy from Trivium would be next up. Solid album with some sweet licks. Speaking of licking sweet things... mmmm, mmmm.... mmmm.

Fall of man is the only song that really has not clicked with me. It's not bad, I just don't get the same excitement I get with the rest of the album 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Howdy Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Was reading an interview with her, and the way the album was written is quite interesting. https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/interviews/on_the_record_sophie_lloyd_opens_up_on_biggest_challenges_of_her_solo_album_and_going_out_of_her_comfort_zone.html?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1700053810 Was that a pretty common theme throughout the record as far as the writing of the lyrics? Was that a collaborative process, or did you kind of put that in the hands of some of the singers? "It was on a song-by-song basis. Generally, we'd create sort of this glorified backing track with the guitar solo and then I sent them that, and I wanted to give them as much freedom as they wanted to have, if you know what I mean." "So I was like, you can write whatever you want on this. This is what the album is about. This is my kind of thoughts and feelings. This is what the album is gonna be called, and I explained to them a little bit about that." "So yeah, I pretty much gave them freedom. Then they'd send a demo back to me so see if I wanted any changes or anything and I'd let them know and then they'd record the final version and send it over to me. So it was kind of a collaborative process, but I definitely tried to give them as much freedom as they would like to have with it." I always felt that the first Slash album kinda lost something of it being a Slash album because it seemed he was trying too hard to adapt to the sound of the singers rather than them adapting to him. This concept sounds much cooler, where Sophie came up with the music that suited her and the singers got to write their own lyrics. I think that is why it's still her flexing her sound but at the same time the singers dont sound a million miles away from their sound either.

Captain Howdy Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 She announced earlier this week that she is doing a one off show in London and the Camden Assembly, and tickets went on sale this morning. Sold out in 5 minutes. I was lucky as forgot all about it and by the time I checked in the afternoon it had switched venues to the Camden Underworld which is a bit bigger venue, and tickets had gone back on sale. Gonna be interesting to see how the gig works, seeing as she had multiple guest vocalists on her album. I guess she is going to have one singer, but will be interesting to see who she picks. Or maybe a male vocalist form the songs originally sung by men and a female for the songs sung by women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
