Wig Wam - 'Wall Street' ; seriously, possibly the worst cover art I've ever seen. Songs are pretty shithouse too.

 

ohmigod, you actually bought it??

 

A very cheap copy, in my defence. I guess I proved to myself that for better or worse I'm a bit of a completist. Because to be honest, I actually kind of hate this CD. It's really pretty terrible. :(

 

Think there were 2 or 3 keepers on that which I might download - they've lost the plot a bit unfortunately - shame cos they were excellent at FF a few years back

I disagree, I don't think that it's awesome but I don't think that it's shit.

Rush - Clockwork Angels - probably in a minority but I'm not sure about this yet - but the mix doesn't sound too great to me there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of dynamics it all seems like a wall of noise and mostly a one paced kind of affair. Neil Pearts drums sound like they are tiny (as in small not a typo of tinny) and his drumming itself a little uninspired, and everything else too bright and the guitar especially seems to lack any...hmm depth/bite.. something. Maybe it's my ears but it already sounds like it needs remastering to me. With regards the songs, they're okay, but I dunno I just feel over the last few albums (Counterparts onwards) they have lost the energy and inspiration they once had - there are the occasional flashes of brilliance that keep me buying their work - around 4 songs an album - but they're surrounded by too much material that sounds the same or lacks any character. Just my 10 cents.

I felt that way on the first spin but its better on the second spin. As usual there's a lot to digest with the music, lyrics and concept but im sure i will still need even more time with it.

    • 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
