STATUS QUO - Quid Pro Quo (65%)

 

65% Is that all? THE best Quo album in 20 years. Depends if you're a fan or not I suppose ;)

Got this album free from the local label the other day and while I think I gave it a 70% at first, I think I just got bored easily as most songs were shuffling with only 3-4 basic chords with no variation so fans-only-type-of-album I guess :D

Safetysuit - These Times

 

I just got that one through, this band can do no wrong IMO...

Had a brief look on the net early this week to see what I'd missed in recent times and this was possibly the most exiting thing to be released that I will definitely check out asap.

 

i have no idea about this band, are they really good ? let me check it out, and looks like this one is a 2012 release, i checked on wikipedia and it's released on Jan 3rd

 

Atmospheric and excellently executed modern rock in the vein of a slightly harder rocking Coldplay.

 

Both albums are great IMO, but the debut still edges it.

Solid description, but it should also be noted that I despise Coldplay and love Safetysuit... so there are definite differences in song delivery there. ;)

 

Trying to finalise the last few ratings for my 2011 list as we speak:

 

Nickleback - 'Here and now'

 

Unless you're doing a top 1,000 then Nickleback shouldn't be anywhere close mate. Yeah I'm not sure I'd compare Safetysuit to Coldplay. They're definitely Modern Rock but on the softer-end, and are big on melody (unlike Coldplay). Great new disc IMO...

Yeah, Nickleback won't be anywhere near my top 50, or probably even 100. Just want to get a complete list with Alfonzetti and Fate included, and I had to get past duds like Nickleback too, to make it nice and complete. I do love that Alfonzetti album.

    • My thoughts exactly  
    • Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.
    • Doesn't sound like Sweet at all but I kinda like it actually.
    • From your list and what hasn't been mentioned ,Sleeze Beez -Screwed,Blued & Tattooed and their Powertool album  ,Bezerk by Tigertailz , first two Lillian Axe , Baton Rouge - Shake Your Soul...all particular favs of mine,I have  a soft spot for Loudness - Thunder In The East also,dunno if you have Master Of Disguise from Lizzy Borden but it would be my fav by them....to be honest most of the artists on that  list I like though 
    • New song 'Burning Like A Falling Star' from the forthcoming album 'Full Circle'.    
    • Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".  
    • So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger
