What's a spinnin' in your CD player?

[Geoff]

DYNAZTY - Knock You Down (90%)

 

 

glad someone else loves this album! Can't believe is featured so poorly in many end of year lists. Awesome killer mhr.

 

not a single album in this world can please everybody. I got bunch of friends who also think WORK OF ART or JOURNEY is just plain boring, well even though I secretly think they're out of their mind, to each their own and who are we to judge ?

 

Granted, but we are talking about a board of people who love this genre. To me Dynazty produced an album full of kick arse mhr.....what's not to like?

I'm sure I'm one of these people. I have still not heard the "proper" version if it is out there, but the one I have sounds like it was recorded with a tin can drumkit, but more than that I don't think any of the songs really blew me away anyway. But admittedly the production has put me off really giving it a real go.

 

I had only heard the mp3s and I loved it and didn't notice anything about the sound.

I just ordered the Euro version from Amazon and it should be in my mailbox maybe today or Monday I hope.

 

Its awesome....Geoff your comment is pretty weird IMO, without filler is this album. period.

Sorry mate, couldn't agree with that. I thought there were a few 6/10's in my sexy little review. But it's not even that that's the issue. It's just that, imo, there weren't any real killers to balance out the weaker songs. I truly hope I eventually get to buy this CD and all of a sudden it's clear to me, as I'm as amazed as you that our opinions are so different on this.

 

But I'm only being honest. What I heard was solid but average hard rock, totally murdered by a terrible production job. I hope there's a better version out there.

Tower City - new one

 

Ha ha, yeah whatever. If songs like 'Sleeping With The Enemy', 'Throne Of China', 'Hunger For Love', 'Knock You Down' (vocals on the Euro version are sensational imo), 'Wild Nights', 'The Great Dillusion', 'Brand New Day' are average rock to you, then fair enough. To me each song is killer MHR.

 

The other songs are mainly very good too, with only 'New Sensation' maybe being average, but even that sounds awesome on the Euro version with the better production.

 

To each their own, but some of the discs you have above Dynazty, leaves me scratching me head.....I mean Mr Big > Dynazty ?? WTF?!.

Mr Big had some really killer songs on it. Fillers like sin, but some gems too. Anyway, as per other thread I ordered the Dynazty CD and I will do you the service of re-rating the CD once the Euro version has sunk in. Honestly mate, if production is as good as you reckon, it'll make a HUGE difference to me, as I hated the production on the MP3s I heard.
