All except Siam....whoever they are.

 

Your opinion is as usual a lonely one ;-)

 

 

I tend to think that my opinion would be in heavy company outside of Journey die-hards. I know you're a huge fan of anything and everything Journey, but from a non-biased point of view, honestly mate, it is a terrible and weak AOR album and the others are good solid hard rock albums. Some songs on the Perry album defy the rules of horror, actually.

 

I admit without question that a burp from Steve Perry would sound better than the vocals of either the guy from Shy Tiger or the dude from Shylock... or Tony Mills (Siam). But a great vocalist does not automatically equal good songs. For the record, none of the albums are worthy of over 80% imo, but I'd rate all Shy Tiger and Shylock in the mid-70's (except Shylock's debut which is sub-70) and the Perry album 56%.

 

Oh, and Siam is basically Tony Mills thinking he's Geoff Tate. The result is what you'd expect from that train of thought.

I think you'll find that 'Street Talk' is held in pretty high regard generally and not just amongst the Journey fanboys either .It is very lite and borders on the Motown soul/ MOR sound on a couple of tracks, hence why it opened SP up to a wider audience, To each to their own and all that and it won't appeal to everyone, but to call it a terrible, weak album is way wide off the mark imo.

I love the album personally - and the reissue with bonus tracks is even better

Absolutely no bonus tracks needed. Bar a couple of tracks (5,10) The album was/ is perfect in every way. 'Go Away', 'Oh Sherrie', 'She's mine' 'Go Away', You Should Be Happy', ' Captured By The Moment', 'Foolish Heart' and 'Running Alone'.. all absolutely fantastic, well written songs songs, your taste or not.

If I'd added the bonus tracks into my score of the album it would have been 48%. ;)

 

Seriously, to each their own. I'm glad people can enjoy the album... just find it annoying to see a statement that an album which would obviously not be for everyone and is very arguably even good at all... for such an album to be called better than all of Shy Tiger and Shylock's albums put together... just find it to be an annoying statement. Whether you like Shy Tiger and Shylock or not, they have good, solid consistent and reliable hard rock albums. I feel that outside of Journey diehards, the Perry album probably has a very, very limited appeal.

 

Anyway, today's sounds;

 

Sic Vikki - Kiss Me In French
Sic Vikki - Streetside Picasso
Sick Six Crush - Sick Six Crush
Sick Trigger - The Stand
Side Kixx - Talk Of The Town
Signal - Loud & Clear
Silence - Sound Of Rain

Haha mate, you do get wound up v easily........it was just an expression to state that I like that album a lot, not to be taken literally.

 

Just to wind you up today -

 

Signal > all those other albums combined ;-)

Considering all those other albums are pieces of shit, aside from Sic Vikki's debut, you're not far off the mark this time.

 

Sic Vikki's debut and Signal's 'Loud on clear' are about on par and the rest is crap. The Sick Six Crush album is okay glam... but it's pretty poor overall.

 

Edit - sorry, missed Side Kixx. Not a bad band at all - one of the better produced albums on Retrospect overall. Love the 2nd song and it's an okay album... but hardly a world beater. Nice sound/style.

ha ha, yeah I love that Sic Vikki album too. great stuff.

 

Signal ranked No3 for me in 1989 so that says it all.

Strong day today. Kind of a shame to consider how good those first two Silence albums could have been with the later vocalist. They honestly may as well be sung in a different language (if they aren't already);


Silence - Utopia

Silence - Nostalgia

Silence - Open Road

Silent Rage - Shattered Hearts

Silent Rage - Don't Touch Me There

Silent Rage - Still Alive

Still Running - Deep

Silent Witness - Silent Witness


Our Last Night - We've Been Holding Back

Our Last Night - Building Cities From Scratch

Our Last Night - The Ghosts Among Us

Our Last Night - We Will All Evolve

Our Last Night - Covers

I like the Silent Witness album and the Out Last Night EP is good, but the rest of the day was a real painful nosebleed;


Our Last Night - Oak Island EP

Silent Witness - Thrills

Silver - Silver

Silver - Addiction

Silver - Intruder

Silver - Dream Machines

Silver - Gold

S.I.N. - Somewhere Into Nowhere

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
    • Your Eyes - Darkstone (2024) Two versions of my song number 6     https://suno.com/song/e8c1e85b-21ee-4d35-a64b-e786f00944d2   https://suno.com/song/9144c77a-bd7c-49c1-9508-f724d0832fdb
    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
