My list so far, green ones are done, white ones still to go.
End of year update (unless I find more albums released this year lol):

The ones with an 'X' next to them would be my AOTY contenders.

Re: Scott Stapp Album IV HIGHER POWER

It does not have to be that way. Same for the ridiculous brickwalling on every rock album since 1995. Just because it's become the new industry standard does not make it right whatsoever for listeners. Obviously not. It's just that Stapp isn't the kind of guy that would be trying to break the mould...

I didn't even make it to the bridge. The vocals are terrible. Massively edited. The songwriting is just boring.
Was just looking for positives. The vocals are edited but this is how it goes nowadays.

Re: Amps & Other Guitar Gear

Anybody has ever tried Harley Benton axes? They are as far as I understand Thomann's own brand (which is a music mega story in Germany). I've been looking at their SC-Custom II series as I might need another six-string for Drop C# to rehearse with my new band. It looks pretty much like ESP LTD, just...

Re: The Random Alter Bridge Thread

Anybody else ever noticed this super loud snare hit in Brand New Start at 4:19 before? Something might have gone a bit wrong with the compression I guess as the rest of the snare hits is quite subdued. Maybe an edit doubled up on it? That's a good shout.

Earthside's Let The Truth Speak album. These guys definitely do not suffer from the second-album syndrome. A lot of great, fresh, proggy ideas keeping the genre alive.

Re: Summer 2024 Tour and Summer of '99 and Beyond festival

Think about this: They add Myles Kennedy to the opening card where he mostly plays Mayfield 4 songs for the sake of the 99 tour.But he also works in some modern solo material. Later on when Creed plays, Myles comes out and they all start to play together. It's a duet between Myles and Stapp - an or...

Re: Summer 2024 Tour and Summer of '99 and Beyond festival

The technology for digital guitar sounds has come such a far way though. The old Line 6 Spider amps were pretty crap sounding, but compare that to their Helix unit today and the sound quality is unreal. Tbh, I've never understood the hate for the Spider - I owned it in the past, learned how to play...

Re: Summer 2024 Tour and Summer of '99 and Beyond festival

In a band mix the guitar tones from digital and analog gear today are pretty well indistinguishable like you said because of how far digital tech has come with guitar amp simulations. When you’re playing isolated guitar tracks in a room you can tell a difference though just based on how the two ope...

Awesome news. Unfortunately I don't think I'm going. I would have considered it if it was Creed and Daughtry together, but the Tinely Park show has 3 Doors Down and Finger Eleven as support. So you'll miss (mostly probably) once-in-a-lifetime chance to see Creed because you don't like the support a...
