I HATE the fact that they do less Digipack and nice packaging nowadays... i woudl definitly buy more cds if they were as nicely packaged as 10 / 20 years ago...
The new Bruce Dickinson album is really good. I don’t think it’s getting the attention it deserves. Like you that one is near the top for best album of the year.
I brought the CD and I really love his New record. Huge fan since 1991 when the SR Slave Record came out. I always fallowed Bas since SR break up in '96. He made excellent music on his own. His solo carrer his excellent in my opinion. He did'nt get the succces it diserved.. He is very talented.
great review as always. Myles Kennedy contribute to the songwriting too. I like that you show the physical product in your reviews, as opposed to most Latin American reviewers where they just listen to the album in Spotify and then make a review first day of release. I prefer to wait for the reviewer to carefully listening to the songs for at least 2 or 3 days. Good job man
Thanks sir I enjoyed your review I'm like you for my rock I like that crisp riff orientated angle but my proto death metal I like that overall clipping feel !! 🤟🤟
It's a very good album ! His voice is amazing and I do believe it's all very organic, I think he's one of the few artists from the 80s/90s that still pull it off and make great music as well.
To me, the cover art has 2 meanings I can relate to. First, as an man seeing my son grow I know I'll always remember him for the boy he was even as he grows as a man. Second, thinking of my own father I'll always remember those times spent with my Dad when I was just a child. Perhaps those thoughts are a bit universal and why that art was chose for an album titled "Child within the man".
I am very pleased with the new album from Sebastian Bach. My main concern before hearing the album was that it was produced by Elvis Baskette. Alter Bridge is one of my favorite bands and Elvis has produced nearly all of their records. Most of the songs on those records have a darker mood to them. So I was afraid that this album would be sounding like AB. Hard Darkness definitely has that AB feel to it. Crucify Me definitely has that AB feel to it and some of About to Break. All three are great tunes but they easily could’ve been on any Alter Bridge album too. I believe Myles Kennedy from AB co-wrote one of those tunes as well. When I first heard What Have I Got To Lose I was hooked and immediately pre-ordered this album on vinyl and cd. I’m glad I did because this is a great record.
@@BrendonSnyder What i always liked about Baz is he could sound soulful. Especially compared to other singers of the genre. Obviously a very passionate and talented vocalist.I listened to this album once, it’s good. Actually a little surprised.
Been listening to this album quite a bit on Spotify since its release on Friday. I’ve been enjoying it. Still waiting for my CD copy to ship from Amazon.
The cover art kind of reminds me of Meatloaf's objects in the rearview mirror but also the animated video for Rushs Red Barchetta especially when the album cover is animated in a similar way when you go to listen to the tracks on RU-vid.
This album has an excellent voice, excellent sound and production but I hardly remember the choruses after listening. I prefer memorable choruses like "Unskinny Bop" or "Cherry Pie". Sometimes it sound a bit grunge like the band Alice in Chains wich I'm not too keen on. I would prefer a more 80´s songwriting approach.
The artwork on at least one of Sebastian Bach’s solo albums, was done by his father, and that artwork is great. The artwork for this new album is absolutely atrocious. Anyone have the story behind this artwork?
It's a painting that his late dad did back in the 70s, I think, and the image of Sebastian is his work, too. Sebastian has said that the artwork is very meaningful to him.
Some problems that i have with the Art work is.And im curious if im the only one that thinks this way.But to me the artwork especially front is to busy & confusing & cant tell what some of the things are in back ground ?
I agree, the art isn’t clear and is confusing to say the least. As you could see from the interior images, it’s a big painting and not meant to be the tiny CD booklet size so lots of detail is lost.
Brendon curious which you like better this album or Skid Row The Gang’s All Here? Sebastian’s album has a few killer songs, some ok, and two or three especially the ballad. 🤮Skid Row’s all killer!! IMO 🤘🏻
I’m surprised to hear you say that. Not that you can’t find this new album really good. But for me the new Blaze, Bruce Dickinson, and Judas Priest are all fighting for my number one album of 2023 so far.
Priest is much better. New Accept didn't do much for me. Don't care to hear Blaze solo albums Extreme was inconsistent and had meh production. I like new Saxon but not sure which of the two I like more. Bruce is decent but prefer new Bach so far.
From the songs I heard on spotify and RU-vid from the new album sounds awesome. I have been a huge fan of sebastian bach and skidrow with sebastian bach. I got to meet him and see him in concert the same night. I own all his other solo albums .and I follow him on Instagram.
Great review! This album definitely exceeded my expectations. I'm surprised you didn't discuss Myles Kennedy's contribution. He co-wrote 3 songs, What Do I Have To Lose, About To Break, and To Live Again. I also read in an interview that the "muffled" sound you mention was done on purpose to emulate the warm sounds of the 70s (Sebastian's favorite era). It was recorded on some vintage 1970s studio equipment.
Great review !!! But that artwork is so cheesy lol But for the music. It sounds polished and processed to me. Just not gritty enough for my personal taste. Regardless , love the review man.
