What's a spinnin' in your CD player?

[Geoff]

The Veer Union - 'Divide the blackened sky' ; really starting to get unsure about this one. The more I spin it the less it sticks. Just sounds like nu-metal to me and he and I are not friends. I will have to playback their debut and see where it went wrong this time 'round.

 

Yeah it's less catchy, but there were only a couple of outright commercial tracks on "Against the Grain" anyway. This one's heavier, but they're a tighter band and the songwriting is better on this one IMO. I really like it.

 

 

 

 

Ive not heard it, but I havent played the debut in like 3 years or something??? Remember it being solid, but as Tim says only a handful of commercial numbers, so it does wear thin after a while.

Yeah, I haven't played it for about that long either. I bet when I play it back I'll like all the commercial numbers and the other half of the CD will sound like the new one. And I pretty much ignored that half of the debut, like I fear I will this whole new disc soon.

 

Before Their Eyes - 'Redemption' ; another MUCH less commercial/catchy album than their last, but I like this one. Some pretty heavy stuff on here which is pretty awesome. But the winners like 'Alive' and 'Everything' are worth the price alone, imo. Especially 'Alive.'

 

BBABH - 'Feel the power' ; still the best of 2012 so far, imo.

What??

 

"Deathwish" isn't nearly the best song. "Shut Up and Rock," "Forever," "Holdin' Back For Nothin'," "Scream It Like You Mean It," and "Sleepless Nights" are fan-f*cking-tastic! Such a good album. Spin that shit again, and tell me it's completely forgettable.

I'm with Glen, didn't stick for me either. Some good tunes, especially the less cheesy stuff ("Forever" is just throwaway garbage IMO), but just not enough songs I can remember a chorus from. Have spun it 8-10 times probably. The ballad is awful beyond belief, truly a 1/10 song if ever I heard one. Overall I thought it was about a 6 or 7/10 at best. In fact their last album was better, there's nothing as catchy as "Show Me What You Got" on here...

For me 'Deathwish' is easily the best track on offer here - it is a killer opener with a great riff, catchy chorus and an amazing kick arse ending...as close to a 10/10 as the album gets, and only just falls short cos of a bit of silly growling.

 

As for the other tracks mentioned -

 

Shut Up & Rock - silly growling & I hate songs about 'rocking' so to me its pretty poor - you can file 'Rockin All Night' in the same pile too.

 

Forever - I do like this one - 3rd best track IMO

 

Holdin Back For Nothin - I like this tune too, but it is pretty forgettable to me - too much going on and a bit too frantic for my liking.

 

Scream Like You Mean It - I like this one too (4th best)..although not very memorable IMO..even after just listening to it I cant remember the hook (if there was one )...also the solo is twiddly and annoying.

 

Sleepless Nights - pretty average tune really....really predictable chorus.

 

I tell you what else annoys me about this album, is that very few of the guitar solos seem to fit the songs?? Most seem like musical wank and how fast can I shred.......hey ho.

 

What surprises me is no-one mentions 'Skate Or Die' which is clearly the 2nd best track

 

Overall I do like this album, but its nowhere near the best of 2012....
