The official Frontiers Softcock Shit thread

[bl5150]

Paul..............what was your verdict on the Jan Akesson ?    I thought it was massively disappointing relative to the snippets I had heard.  I enjoy that crunchy riff based sound but I expected so much more      The songs just weren't there for the most part.

[wolfking]

Just so I understand out ranking methodology (from worst to better):

Issa is an ugly whore who can't sing
haha, Radiation Romeos!?
Way too cheesy (look or name) to even click play
Frontiers took the Allen/Lande project from Karlsson and gave it to Tolkki now? lol no. Wait....
Didn't make it past 30 seconds
Did Frontiers get a hold of Eden's Curse, cause they suck now
WTF happened to Hardline, they are shit too
That was a waste of <insert time> minutes of my life
Cookie Cutter
I expected so much more
but, but, I really did expect so much more
Solid
This is great somewhat listenable - I can't believe it's on Frontiers
Pretty solid
Mat Sinner is a Frontiers bitch now hey?
Where's the new Work of Art, DTF loves them
Thankfully Magnus Karlsson didn't let DelVicchio anywhere near Primal Fear

Sound about right?

Added some.

Oh, no you didn't Brent?  Yes you did! 

[jingle.boy]

JA's Shadow Rain blew chunks.

Like the additions Kade, but after a few listens, I really did enjoy the last Hardline album.  They did try to mimic Double Eclipse - didn't come close to matching it, but there are a bunch of .... solid tunes in there.

I'd agree with what you said. Big letdown after promising samples.
I preferred the Fiction Syxx, have you heard that?
There's not much out there that's floating my boat at the moment. If you've found anything, I'm all ears 😀

Will check out the Fiction Syxx later this week.    Geez Andrew is releasing some shite through his label.

My head is a bit of a spin at the moment as I am racing through all the 2017 stuff - will get back to you.   Most the best albums are either super obscure or outside my normal tastes.  Even getting into a bit of doomy/retro metal stuff which is unlike me -  has to have some more melodic/uptempo bits to it though for me to get on board.

If you want some easy listening , throwback glammy stuff perhaps try an album by a band called Rockett Love.   Sorta like a cross of Newman and Danger Danger.  Very predictable but easy to listen to.  Produced by Beau Hill.

I heard about that one a while ago but couldn't track anything down on it to sample. Will try again.

Nothing to write home about by any means but decent enough to tap the foot to while working

Stuff all in this genre in 2017 really.    Just started on the Rian album and sounds solid   Think a slightly less impressive Find Me.

[bl5150]

I preferred the Fiction Syxx, have you heard that?

Solid but probably expected more given a few "big" names involved.

I actually preferred the Rian.

[TAC]

What the F kind of name is Fiction Syxx?

On tour now with True Story Sevyn and Documentary Too.

WTF??

[bl5150]

Take a mark off for the name -so you'd give it a Non Fyction Nyne ? 

[TAC]

I'd give it an f's Preposition Zeeroh!

[Lowdz]

Shit name. I liked the proggy AOR of it.

Although those links for Rockett Love (there we go again 🤔) didn't work, I found a couple that did. I liked it.

Sadly, Frontiers posted a pic of Jorn and Del Douchebag together yesterday on FB

Hmmmm....Alessandro Del Vecchio & JORN back together again?!?!?! What could they be up to.....

Hopefully a bitchslap to ADV for letting Tolkki ruin Allen/Lande 4.

[Lowdz]

Yeah, saw that. Doesn't bode well.

[TAC]

Yup. The guy needs to find another singer.

Didn't you like that Jorn album though?

And Del Viccchio had nothing to do with Allen/Lande, the person you need to blame is Serafino Perugino.

I did quite enjoy Jorn's solo album this year actually - wasn't it essentially Voodoo Circle with Jorn on the mic?  Didn't know who deserved the scorn over A/L 4 - but they should be strung up by their tits.

yeah, Voodoo Circle with Readman replaced by Jorn.  They probably should just get whoever that new guy was and make Jorn the singer officially.

Yeah, Serafino is the founder of the Issa factory and basically puts all these muso's together to make these pop albums.

Blob free zone around here lately.

New Stan Bush anybody?  Featuring The Touch version 500 

[wolfking]

Nah.

[Lowdz]

Heard a couple of songs. Sounds like Stan Bush. Which is fine. He's not going to suddenly go grunge or growls on us, is he.

I'd be inclined to give him another go if he added some nice growlies.

I doubt you would be impressed with Stan growlies. He probably farts in glorious melody 😀

If he could make them sound like growlies, I'll take it.

He's got the touch 


The new Newman album is pretty solid

The new Newman album is pretty solid 

I've only got Siren from Newman, which is really good actually.  Everything else I've sampled from him is pretty flat.  Reminds me a lot of Hartmann.  Lots of talent just bland and lacking.  I'll have to give the Newman a listen.

I agree that he is hit and miss.  I was a big fan of his early release One Step Closer back in the distant past but since then it's been some great stuff in between lots of meh!

Siren was really good.  This isn't quite at that level (probably a few tracks too long at 12)  but it's a quality release and probably one of his more consistent.

[TAC]

Who is Newman?

[Lowdz]

Never really been that impressed with Newman. I could see him being a house writer at Frontiers.

[jingle.boy]

Who is Newman?

Is the only acceptable answer.

[bl5150]

I need to check out this Aussie guy Darren Phillips and his project.   Has some decent guests he has got involved (members of Eclipse, Harem Scarem and Find Me etc... )  I was a bit iffy on it but after seeing the video below from a couple of the guests I am super pumped for this

That video was cringe-worthy.  Hopefully the music isn't.

I was being facetious if that wasn't apparent.    I couldn't stop watching it............especially that guy on the left.  He can barely contain his excitement at how awesome he is
