Devastating news but to my ears the last couple of albums, whilst good lost the magic of the first few... So the band probably needed a shake up anyway?

I enjoyed Turborider, because it was so much different from the rest (I mean, obviously; it was essentially Synthwave), but I think I agree with you. I usually only listen to the first two albums, and still haven't even heard InVader

InVader is basically halfway between the first 3 and Turborider in sound I reckon. While it and Turborider have grown a bit on me, I much prefer the first 3 albums.

If I was to put the albums in order of how much I like them it would be:

S/T

Animal attraction

Turborider

Spirit

Invader

 

Spirit had some brilliant songs on it, but was far less consistant than the two albums before it, and some songs were pure cringe with their lyrics (Metal ass). Turborider though comes pretty close to the first two albums for consistancy, and the synth wave style really freshened up their sound. Invader while not terrible is a distant fifth as it never really clicked with me beyond a couple of songs. Certainly the only album in their catalogue that I rarely play all the way through. That said, their worst album is still better than some bands best album.

Hessu apparently has a song coming out on 29th.

Not much detail on what it will entail other than a small snippet, but it's possible he is doing vocals.

Under what name?

He has only posted a small teaser so far, and the graphics on the screen say Maxx Factory.

I think that is what he calls his drum school, but maybe wrong. So maybe he is using that as a band name.. guess we will have to wait a week.

Hessu is on vocals. By all accounts this was a demo he did six years ago, but has finally re-recorded the full version.

Certainly has a Reckless Love vibe to it.

Downloaded a digital copy from Amazon and already played it a few times. Really like it. Hopefully it will lead to a full album.

 

Here is some of the info he posted on Instagram

Hi everyone!♥️🥁🥁🥁🥁
I've thought about writing this post A LOT!
There are so many people I want to thank for making this moment happen. This is deifinitely my number 1 moment of my career as a musician, composer, producer and a SINGER. My virginity is lost now in so many ways, haha... 😃 The list of people involved in my career is way too long to deal in one post, so I will write more about that later on...
For now I just want to say that this is my vision of Rock n' Roll. This is how I see the world at the moment.
My partners in crime on this song are @jalleverne and @ollianthonanttila . We lit up the darkness! 👏🏼 my 6 year old demo was totally reborn!

@jykasirainen / @countryjyka played amazing bass tracks and sang some killer backing vocals. He also recorded my drumming at MAXX FACTORY studio, @mikkoanterolahtonen played hell of a guitar tracks as he always does. And me and Olli A. Did the rest, at his studio and at my place.
You guys are a goup of extremely good people with good energy, talent and passion for music. Thank you guys♥️ This means a lot to me. I hope you can all feel it. This story will go on!👏🏼 For now, Dance Thru Darkness! 💥

It's okay. We should probably start a new thread for it, though.

Was thinking that but not sure if this is a full time project or not.

Yeah, that's awesome. As noted, huge RL vibes.

    • Well Erik had to take that post down. The record label told him it isnt sposed to be revealed til next week ha ha
    • Just ordered "Shotgun Mistress" - Kings Of The Revolution new CD .......
    • Bruce Dickinson - The Mandrake project (deluxe in book pack with comic)
    • They always have at least a handfull of good songs on each album, I'm not overwhelmed by those first two singles though. Jesper Binzer's (vocalist) solo record "Dying is Easy" from 2017, is better than every D-A-D realease post "Everything Glows" imo.

    • Legendary - pedestrian modern country song which Jon is unable to elevate due to vocal limitations. A weak song made even worse by the inclusion of unnecessary/annoying whoa's.   We Made It Look Easy - another modern country song, I don't mind this one, it's pleasant enough but the song never really elevates   Living Proof - a rare up tempo song, this one has a good chorus probably the best chorus from Jon in almost 20 years, the weak vocals prevent it from being an anthem, and I don't like the talkbox on the song, I know Jon has become allergic to guitars but he shouldn't have buried the riff with the talkbox.   Waves - I don't mind it, another pleasant country song but jon does sound awful on the bridge. Seeds - bores me to tears Kiss the Bride - poor Stephanie. The People's House - does nothing for me Walls of Jericho - harmless and catchy, I don't mind it. I Wrote You a Song - decent melody, I don't mind it. Living in Paradise - milquetoast My First Guitar - Jon is in love with his first guitar, but as mentioned before Jon has become allergic to guitars so this song is kind of ironic. Another song I find a chore to get through. Interesting he should mention Kiss as their song Forever is much better than anything on this album.   Hollow Man - can't stand this singer/songwriter crap jon does, a hard pass. That Was Then, This Is Now - another boring modern country song, with vocals flatter than a pancake.                                                
    • Album out August 23rd. From Frontiers: During Jon Anderson’s 39-year Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career as the lead vocalist of YES, he was seen as one of the leading proponents of the Progressive Rock movement. During his tenure with YES, he recorded 19 studio albums and multiple live albums, many of which have been certified gold and platinum. Albums such as The “YES” album, “Fragile”, “Close to the Edge”, “Tales of Topographic Oceans”, and “90125” remain classic albums to this day. Songs such as “Roundabout”, “Yours is No Disgrace”, “And You and I”, “Going for the One”, “Awaken”, and “Owner of a Lonely Heart” were staples on Active Rock radio throughout the 70’s and 80’s. While still a member of YES, Jon released multiple solo records and collaborations, the most noteworthy being his 4 albums with Greek composer Vangelis Upon leaving YES in 2008, Jon continued releasing multiple solo records and collaborations. In 2023, after connecting with a group of New York musicians called The Band Geeks, Jon embarked on a summer of 2023 tour performing 2 hours of YES epics and classics. With The Band Geeks, Jon found a group of musicians that he felt could collaborate with him to create a body of work that rivaled the classic YES sound of the 70’s and 80’s. The result of this collaboration is “True”, Jon’s debut album for Frontiers Records. The 9-song album harkens back to the sound of classic YES and features compositions of all lengths with the centerpiece being the 16 minute song “Once Upon a Dream”. Jon and The Band Geeks will be supporting the new album with extensive touring TRACKLIST: 1. True Messenger 2. Shine On 3. Counties And Countries 4. Build Me An Ocean 5. Still A Friend 6. Make It Right 7. Realization Part Two 8. Once Upon A Dream 9. Thank God      
    • I used to listen to their '89 and '91 albums a lot but every try to get used to their newer outputs didn't work. Now I took some time again to listen to their last few albums and somehow I started loving them. Not every song but 70-80% on each album, which is quite a lot. I'm very excited for "Speed of Darkness". The first two songs are good (not as good as my favourites on the last albums, though but a good start). In "The ghost" I sometimes feel like the voice is a bit late here and there, which is something that I notice pretty often recently. Don't know why that happens (e.g. the new Kissin Dynamite songs, Autumn's child the last two albums, Lordi sometimes on the last album). I hope it's only in that song.
    • Holy shit. Get with the fuckin' times!            I also wanna know.
    • Ya I bought the cassettes of them when they came out & I still have them but I played the first one so much the tape got funny ...lol. The CD's sound good.
