Mullmuzzler 1 has the best songs.
Mullmuzzler 2 is the best album as a whole.

In both cases, the good things far outweighs the bad for me, and even though it's ages I haven't heard them, I'm still very fond of them.

EOP is my favorite JLB solo album, that lineup alone is

Having said that, I'm not too fond of the Mullmuzzler albums , I just don't find those songs too good or worth listening to. The last two (SI and IR) are much better.

Btw, I'm hoping we get new updates about the acoustic solo album soon.

James' son band FALSET featuring James LaBrie - Kickstart My Heart ( Mötley Crüe Cover)

Jeez...this is pretty amazing. I honestly can't wait for the new DT...James sounds in top form.

Reading the comments in a few different places and people are not being very complimentary......of Vince Neil. A few said James was going to take his job.

Finally James made his return to glam! Now for a Winter Rose reunion...I'm kind of serious.

Between the 2 Mullmuzzler albums, there's about 1 album's worth of OK songs.

EOP slays both of those.

The last two are really good, as well.

Another guest spot from James on Timo Tolkki's new album.

Also guitar, bass and keys are all done for the new solo album. Off for mixing soon according to Paul Logue who he's wrote it with.

Wow. Power metal suits him well. I like the song.

Does anyone know when James LaBrie's new solo album is coming out?

Would anyone happen to know when James LaBrie's new solo album is coming out?

Paul Logue posts updates every once in a while. I think the album is still in the final stage of mixing and then they need to get a label for release...

From this new interview in Turkish posted on the DT15 thread: the new JLB solo album will be called "Beautiful Shade of Grey" and will probably be released in April or May 22.

That does sound nice.

Madman Shepherd · « **Reply #2924 on:** March 16, 2022, 11:32:06 AM »

I've dug all his output but glad he's going in this direction versus where he went for his last two albums. This sounds awesome!

Nel · « **Reply #2925 on:** March 16, 2022, 05:44:55 PM »

Oooh, that snippet was nice. I liked the last two albums, but definitely prefer this direction of music.

wolfking · « **Reply #2926 on:** March 16, 2022, 06:04:09 PM »

Nothing that special to my ears based on that, but I'll check it out.

I figured I better not take my bad mood out on James. Poor bloke.

Tomislav95 · « **Reply #2929 on:** March 17, 2022, 03:49:14 AM »

Sounds amazing, hyped

I've always felt James sounded better away from DT, like melodies were built around him and not the other way around

As much as I love DT, James is just ok in newer stuff (other than The Astonishing, he's amazing there) so I can't wait to hear his new album.

abydos · « **Reply #2930 on:** March 17, 2022, 04:43:48 AM »

I always wanted DT to hire Matt Guillory so they both work on the melodies in DT. IIRC Matt did the majority of the writing and then JLB adjusted things he didn't like or improved in other ways. But they worked great on all the albums they worked together.

Matt is not in JLB lineup anymore iirc? I know he was main writing force on 3 previous albums but I still hope the new one will be as good as those.

abydos · « **Reply #2932 on:** March 17, 2022, 06:49:09 AM »

Yeah, he's not part of this one as far as I know, not sure if he did anything for it or is it all someone else + James. But Matt was doing lead demo vocals and a lot of music writing for the others. The teaser did remind me of some of the style and melodies they had on previous albums so hopefully they kept that spirit of doing things even without him.

Madman Shepherd · « **Reply #2933 on:** March 17, 2022, 01:43:45 PM »

The history of james as a solo artist is confusing and even he admitted as much that it really wasnt a solo effort but a team effort. They just had to use his name for publicity.

This project is separate from all of that with the exception of Marco on lead guitar. Not that anything happened between them. Just a new opportunity to work with Paul Logue

JLa · « **Reply #2934 on:** March 17, 2022, 02:00:48 PM »

JLB peaked with the track "Slightly out of Reach" from the "Elements of Persuasion" album. Simply a brilliant song.

"Devil in Drag", what kind of title is that!?

Of course I'll check it out when it's released.

SeRoX · « **Reply #2935 on:** March 17, 2022, 08:00:21 PM »

I listen Devil in Drag and there is so much Mullmuzzler (Especially Confronting The Devil) and EoP vibes vocally and musically which I like.

Good tune.

Cool Chris · « **Reply #2936 on:** March 17, 2022, 08:12:14 PM »

Why did I think this was an all acoustic album? Is that something else?

I believe he did say at first that it would be but in later interviews he specified that he would have a full band and some music would be a little faster paced.

I thought that too, had some MM vibes. Went back and listened to Confronting the Devil, what a great song still. Gary Wehrkamp / Carl Cadden James really know how to write good songs.

I think the single is excellent. Really looking forward to this album, and the approach he took.
