Toby's album and Jimi's album go hand in hand. Much like Crossroads Moment and Pride Of Lions did...
Toby's was a bit edgier, and Jimi's had more of an attempt to sound like Survivor, that's all.
Not interested in hearing The Friday Night's, or Hicks or Eclipse. One is enough, cheers.
And I won't argue that Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams have been utter shit for years. But without them, Erik would have had no one to copy from in the first place. I'm sure he'd be one of the first to admit it.
It's all well and good knocking the old bands when they churn out piss poor pop year after year, but it's still the old bands material that is used as a template for all the modern "soundalike" albums.
Same way that everyone is shooting their load over the new Jimi sounding "just like classic Survivor" (it doesn't), just goes to prove... the writing style is to mimic something else.
But for me, it fails.
