    Sono discretamente deluso da questa annata A.O.R., sinceramente mi è sembrato migliore lo scorso anno con i ritorni di Unruly Child e Foreigner più i vari L.A.D. e altro.
    Di quest'annata la grande rivelazione per me è stata LIONVILLE, non ho disdegnato SHY e WHITE WIDDOW, mi sono piaciuti i Journey ma i vecchi tempi erano veramente un'altra cosa. Lì per lì non mi viene in mente altro poi al limite integrerò.

    Delusioni: House of Lords - preferisco nettamente "Come to my kingdome"
    Work of Art - è una cacofonia di suoni ma non sento il cuore (ma tra l'altro, riusciranno a riprodurre dal vivo tutto quello che hanno messo nel disco?)
    Last Autumn - era meglio il precedente, di gran lunga
    Mecca - non sbavavo nemmeno per la prima opera ma qui mi sembra si siano proprio persi.
    Strangeways- buuuuuuuuuuuu ma andatevi a riascoltare "Walk in the fire" e sfornateci un clone che è meglio và...

    Ma quelli da cui non mi sarei mai aspettato una cosa del genere sono i NIGHT RANGER!!!
    PERCHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'

    P.S. - prima di scatenare l'inferno, premetto che in fondo metto "Secondo me"!

    hai scritto TUTTO quello che penso io. completamente d'accordo, Lionville è un gioiello unico, Strangeways indecenti, HOL disco carino con dei suoni orripilanti, Mecca debolissimo, nonostante qualcuno me lo spacci per più intimista, riflessivo, westcoast ecc(generi che amo) per me è semplicemente debole.
    Pensavo di essere il solo a pensare così dei Work Of Art, meno male. un disco talmente lavorato che sento solo il finto, e l'anima è rimasta nello studio di registrazione secondo me.


    top dell'anno:

    LIONVILLE
    SHY
    CROSSFADE
    MITCH MALLOY
    CHRIS OUSEY

    e poi boh ci devo pensare.

    Kimball Jamison discreto, a parte Kimball bollito vocalmente.
    il disco di Fergie Frederiksen è carino, se si esclude che sono mezze cover e che lui vocalmente non mi è mai piaciuto.

    ottimo inizierà bene il 2012 si spera, visto che a febbraio uscirà il nuovo album dei sunstorm che se sarà come i primi due sarà una goduria, spero onestamente di più come il primo che dei due è sicuramente quello che preferisco.

    diciamo che house of dreams è spiazzante perchè diverso dal primo, quindi se uno si aspettava lo stesso del disco partiva già con un'approcio sbagliato, rimanendone deluso all'ascolto, ma se uno lo ascolta per bene si accorge che comunque è un signor disco.poi la cover di jimmy barnes è da pelle d'oca.

    Seconco me sia il debuto che "House Of Dreams" sono due bei dischi. Sul primo ci sono due cover di Van Stephenson: "Heart Over Mind" e "Fistful Of Heat".

    Beccatevi 'ste chicche di fine anno:

    JEFF SCOTT SOTO



    "Damage Control", the new album by Jeff Scott Soto, is near completion and promises to deliver a one-two punch in the standard that is expected from the artist who has mastered the world of Melodic and Hard Rock music through the ages! The album is completed with appearances and co-writing by his current and former live line ups as well as guests such as Dave Meniketti (Y&T), Jamie Borger (Talisman/Treat), Casey Grillo (Kamelot) and Joel Hoekstra (Night Ranger).
    There will be an 11 song single CD release of the album, as well as a 14 song Digipak version along with a bonus DVD which includes videos and EPK.
    Get ready for Damage Control, it will rock your World!



    CRAZY LIXX



    Crazy Lixx are busy in the studio recording their third album that will be entitled "Riot Avenue". According to singer Danny Rexon: "This time the music is a little more riff-based and straight-forward. We wanted to make real a hard rock album, so we decided to have a little more raw feeling in the production, sound and songwriting compared to our previous albums and there's a lot more up-tempo songs than we had on New Religion. Also, the addition of a second guitarrist, Edd Liam, has made it possible to add some twin guitar playing and other interesting musical stuff that we've used on the album". Some of the song titles are "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot", "Young Blood", "Riot Avenue", "Church of Rock", "Fire it Up", "Only the Dead Know" and more. The album is planned for a worldwide release in April 2012 and will be followed by the usual string of live dates around the World.



    PRIDE OF LIONS



    Pride of Lions is carrying on their proud heritage working hard on their as yet untitled fourth studio album. Jim Peterik says: "Our self titled debut released in 2002 is still many of our fans favorite albums. So this album is a bit of a return to form. Of course there will be a few surprises and Toby Hitchcock is singing stronger than ever. I've hit a stride on the songwriting with songs such as "Tie Down The Wind" and "Coin of the Realm". I needed the time since The Roaring of Dreams to regroup and get reinspired. If you can't make a great record that will last the test of time - why even bother. This time Toby and me wanna take Pride of Lions on the road to promote this new one and spread the word". This new Pride of Lions from what we've heard so far promises to be both more melodic and harder edged. Release is planned for early summer 2012.



    HARDLINE



    Hardline will be back in 2012 with a brand new album and a new lineup which will mark the beginning of a new cooperation between singer Johnny Gioeli and the italian producer/keyboardist Alessandro Delvecchio (EDGE OF FOREVER, EDEN'S CURSE). The US singer says: "I'm really excited to be working with Frontiers on a new Hardline record! We have slated the release for mid 2012...This CD is filled with melody and class...I'm digging it. I hope the Hardline fans enjoy this CD as much as I have enjoyed creating it... Happy Holidays All!"



    ECLIPSE



    ECLIPSE are putting their finishing touches to their anticipated fourth studio album that will be entitled "Bleed And Scream". Musically the band is taking off the new release where the last album finished, yet with more refined and progressed songwriting. It will be a 100% Eclipse-sounding album with big hooks, melodies and powerful riffs but it leans towards a more darker, moody and epic side of the band. Songs like the title-track, "Battlegrounds", "A Bitter Taste" and "After the End of the World" will show an exciting new side of the songwriting of the band. There will also be the first ballad in the history of the band entitled "About to Break". Singer Erik Martensson tells: " This album was the hardest to write for us so far. On the other hand the most rewarding. We don´t know at this point how we are going to top this one. We have tweaked everything from quality of the songs, melodies, hooks, arrangements, guitar-riffs, vocal performances, guitar solos, drumming and the variety in the songwriting in general. No stone is left unturned this time." Frontiers plans to release the album in the first half of 2012.



    FIND ME



    Singer Robbie LaBlanc of BLANC FACES and Swedish producer/songwriter Daniel Flores (MIND'S EYE; THE MURDER OF MY SWEET) have started working together on an exciting new project entitled FIND ME. Musically it will have an heavier edge compared to BLANC FACES and Robbie sings louder and stronger than ever ! Daniel Flores says "This cd is some of the best AOR songs I've ever worked on, there are songs for everybody here, it is going to be a monster. Robbie has one of the best voices in the business and I'm proud to be working with him, he reminds me of the soulfulness of Martin Page and Lou Gramm's singing. I have given every song on FIND ME its own identity for Robbie to showcase his great vocal diversity, all arrangements are carefully produced to fit his voice. The sonic impact will knock the socks out of you for sure! There are some great musicians involved on this Cd, starting with the amazing solos from guitar wizard David Sivelind, the rhythm guitars of Daniel Palmqvist and the very tight and inventive bass playing from Jonny Trobro. The amount of time put into keyboards was really a lot and will instantly remind the listener of the greats like Boston and Foreigner. All done with real vintage keyboards to give the album the organic feel, that unfortunately so many albums lack of these days. I have never been this satisfied with the keyboards and synthesizer arrangements like on this album!" Release is planned for the summer 2012.

    ho buone speranze per i pride of lions ,sperando che sia meglio del precedente non che era malvagio ma non mi ha fatto impazzire, quindi speriamo bene ,poi in jeff scott soto, negli eclipse e infine in questo nuovo progetto find me ,dagli hardline non mi aspetto niente, perchè ormai inizio a credere che con double eclipse abbiano avuto il classico colpo di culo, non sbagliando niente, perchè poi successivamnte invece non ne hanno azzeccata più una,ed infine dei crazy lixx ascolterò comunque con curiosità ,il loro ultimo lavoro era un buon lavoro, ma comunque non mi esaltano più di troppo.
