This one's a bit scrappy. 'Sexy in Japan' is actually a half decent tune, but I can't say I'll be returning to this one. 

Oh, lol, shit, yeah, it looks like it. Would've helped to read that above. Haha. Oh well, that explains a few things... 

I thought that this was their debut album? Are they same Daytona as years ago? I thought that band was Swiss.

You could mount an argument that it's pretty safe, but more to the point, and more significantly, is it's bloody good. Lots of good to great songs on here. Plenty of keepers, but my fave is probably 'Fade Away.' 

This is passable. Initially I thought they were trying too hard to be something like a new Guns N' Roses or something, even though there's no real actual comparisons, but as the album went on I didn't dislike what they were doing. Not something I'd really play again, but not too bad. 'Jar Of Dirt' was my favourite song. 

Haha, the ending's good. I hate when it pointlessly drags on and you need to clip it yourself. How are you going with editing songs? When you say you removed the bridge and added a solo, did you use the Replace feature? Or did you do a completely new song with new prompts?  Man, I am struggling so hard with that Replace feature. Sometimes it works seamlessly, but try changing the lyrics in a pre-chorus or chorus and it just won't have a bar of it. Very frustrating when you have a melody you want to retain but you can't amend the song to your liking because the new feature doesn't play ball.  This is one I worked on recently and if you have a look and listen, the lyrics at the start of the pre-chorus don't match the song. I will actually (whether I like it or not) live with the lyrics in this version, because no matter how many times I try to get it to sing "The echo inside," it just won't do it. And "living inside" works okay anyway. And I like the tune too much to scrap it.  If you listen to the full track, check out the ripper guitar solo. I, uh, played, um... it, myself. Of course.   https://suno.com/song/e0591bf8-6721-46e3-ab8a-22f58b5bc719  

Good album. I'd love it if someone could tell me who these guys remind me of, as in I thought I'd read the write-up and it'd explain that these guys went by another name a few years ago but they changed their name. I can't for the absolute balls of me think of the name of the band or even the name of the song, which was a huge melodic track highly regarded by most here. Album was good, but there was one real blinder. I don't even know how to go about trying to figure out who the band was. But man to christ, does it sound like this project. Plenty of good songs on this one - I really like it.  If I recall correctly the song had a similar vibe and maybe even title to 'Over You' by Shy, but a bit more uptempo and more well produced. Man I wish I could remember it... Grrr. 

Pretty awesome EP. I think every song is really good, including the instrumental. The two tracks with the LeBrock dude are absolutely top notch - 'Cold as hell' and 'I want blood.' 

Very authentic 80's sound. These guys have a few mega tracks with huge hooks in their catalogue, but sadly that's what I thought was missing on this one. Nice sound and "nice" songs, but no big really catchy tunes or stand-out tracks, imo. 

One recent reissue I think is worth skipping (I know I did) is the 40th anniversary reissue of Stay Hungry by Twisted Sister. The two "bonus tracks" were already available years ago on the second Club Daze album as bonus studio tracks, and the live CD is ok if you like live discs, but there is already a load of TS live stuff out there (stick to the Hammersmith release). The 25th anniversary reissue from 2009 was far superior and is the one you need to go for if you want a plethora of decent to great extras. It features a whole disc of unreleased songs and demos, plus one totally new song "30". It can still be picked up pretty cheap as well.
