Without doubt, amore consistent band ,Shiraz had something going with Carnival Days/Vibration but for me didnt carry it on to the Shades album  

[Stefan]

New song is very Def Leppard-ish.

Sounds great.

Agree 100%.  That Shades album will go down as one of my most disappointing albums ever.  I had such high expectations after Carnival Days and Vibration but they were blown out of the water as i didn't like much about Shades at all outside of maybe Scream.

I love Temple Balls. Yes I know how that sounds.

We all know you love balls. No one here is surprised.

Descending testicles/balls/jizzing stones were likely present in the earliest mammals, then subsequently disappeared in elephants, manatees and their relatives, according to a new study.

From Frontiers:

Temple Balls is an energetic hard rock band from Finland and "Avalanche" is the aptly titled fourth album from the quintet. It’s a rocking and energetic tour de force that sees the band members pushing their musical boundaries even further. Once again under the care of producer Jona Tee (H.e.a.t, Crowne, New Horizon), “Avalanche” has all the elements of hooks, powerful rhythms and anthemic rock 'n' roll like it is meant to be played!

Temple Balls came to acclaim after the release of their sophomore album “Untamed” which gave them the chance to tour domestically and internationally in support of such legendary acts such as Sonata Arctica, Queen, Battle Beast, Deep Purple and Uriah Heep. They are definitely one of those acts which once experienced in the live environment, will set your friggin' pants on fire and turn you into a believer!

Their new opus “Avalanche” is a contagious album infecting the listener with strong melodies, profuse guitars, explosive riffs, fun lyrics and choruses that will stick to your mind. From the electrifying opening number “All Night Long” through to the title track, which closes the album, ”Avalanche” is a guarantee of timeless fun.

Don’t miss the band’s live shows planned for the fall of 2023!

1. All Night Long

One of my favourite bands who also have one of the worst band names. Looking forward to this album.

[lettard]

Yeah sounding good  

[tts42572]

New tune out:

 

[lettard]

Very good...Looking forward to this  

[tts42572]

Checked samples for this album on Apple Music....sounding good!  Sounds pretty much like it'll be a continuation of their last album to me, which I really enjoyed.

Definitely looking forward to this one....probably the last release this year that has a chance to rank highly for me.

[tts42572]

Review of the album....I haven't seen many other reviews posted of it.

I enjoy this guys reviews/reactions and often seem to find myself agreeing with him.

 

[lettard]

Yeah enjoy his reviews also , but find that he very rarely doesn't like something 

That Rozario album is quite good btw

Yeah, I've noticed that some.  I remember he didn't care much for the latest Def Leppard though 

That said, I think he's said he doesn't like devoting a lot of time and doing videos to stuff he doesn't like as he doesn't want to come off as a hater and he's said he mostly just likes spreading the word and bringing some attention to stuff he likes.  And I get it....nobody is going to send you stuff to review if they think you're going to hate on it lol....like Frontiers for example 

I kind of pick and choose what I watch from him anyways and mostly only watch stuff I know I've liked or might be interested in.

Yeah same here , but you are right he is good value...he gets so caught up in the music...must be what I look like to the outside world

It is hard isn't it? It is a fine line to tread as a fan and a serious reviewer. Like the Sleaze Roxx guy, he also hates bagging out bands. I understand it tbh.

Yeah , as tts42572 points out , if he gave out constant bad reviews people wouldn't send stuff, I also only watch the reviews of bands of interest to me.
