D-A-D - Speed of Darkness

[Kristian]

First two singles dropped today:

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.

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.

As it is released now... Overall I really like like. Even if you'll hate me for this, I think I prefer their new stuff over their 80's hits.

There's not a single song I don't like on this album just some little details. In the past they used to have more backing vocals. This time they often concentrate on "Aaaw"s. That makes some of rhe hooklines a bit smaller than they are.

Here and there I feel the vocals are too loud in the mix. Especially in the last song.

Next to the singles, "Speed of Darkness", "Live by Fire", "In my hands", "automatic survival" and "Waiting is the way" are really great in my ears

I enjoyed seeing this name in lights again and thought the album was pretty fair. Sadly, I couldn't find a keeper on it, but like I say, nice to hear them (?) again. For old time's sake.

Heard the album yesterday, "Live by Fire" stood out as the best song, and probably the only one I'll return to.
