IDK..I kinda think there has been a lot of great music the past 5 years or so.

Bands like Heat, Degreed, Eclipse, Treat, Crazy Lixx, Pretty Maids putting out great stuff.

Toss in other things like the Defiants, Tokyo Motor Fist, Nordic Union that I've personally loved.

Then there are the releases you mentioned like Harem Scared, Warrant...

And there's more that I'm not even talking about.

For me, there's been plenty of great music.
