New Jake E Lee song- Red Dragon Cartel

[jingle.boy]

I love this track. Jake is on fire. Throws in a quick Thank God For The Bomb pulloff/harmonic thing in the solo too.
Singer seems a bit of a tosser but I don't mind the vocal here. Certainly seems Jake is aiming at his Ozzy fanbase (and maybe auditioning for a return?).

He is an arrogant cocky prick on stage.  Nice guy in person.

Nice shirt!

Get a new singer, Jake. Guy just doesn't work. Good song otherwise.

I tend to agree - the vocals in the verses sound right off to me ...... and I really like the few HS tracks Darren sings on so I have nothing against him in general.  Just don't like the sound of this.

I'll still get the album as Jake is one of my all time favourite artists.

Now that would be something! Never gonna happen though.

Not til Ozzy give Jake some writing credit for Bark At The Moon.



And I agree with the problems everyone is having with this singer. Unfortunately this guy doesn't seem like a good fit. Although I do like his voice during the chorus to Deceived. Kinda has a Chris Cornel vibe to it during that section. That's about it for me though.

My opinion upon hearing the album isn't too different from what I thought from the released songs and samples. A few good songs, and several meh ones, and the vocals could be better. I'm more accustomed to the vocals now though, so they don't bother me, except in Wasted, where the vibrato is really wide and flickery like it's due to either pitch correction or something.

The vocals killed the album for me. One listen through I may not listen again for some time.

I don't find them near that bad, but I can't blame you either. I'd give it another chance to see if you can get used to them a bit. Or at least listen to the tracks that feature different vocalists.
