I’ve had a trawl and there doesn’t appear to one from exactly that time.

The thing that has disappointed me more than anything else in the last couple of albums is the use of programmed drums. I really do think it makes a difference.

It sounds like an outtake from Magnum Opus to me. Even down to the vocals, to a point. However it is a far, far cry from his best work and indeed what he is capable of. He was my favourite artist for over a decade but I stopped buying after the generally abysmal Perpetual Flame and have heard nothing worth buying since. This is no exception.

Evanescence- Sanctuary. Absolutely loving it. Inevitably there are some songs I like more than others but there are none I actively skip over. Amy Lee sounds amazing (still!).

Tony Iommi. Jorn Lande. What’s not to like?! Really looking forward to the album! Cool song!

These are GREAT songs! Among my favourites actually!

Ghost. Jorn. Possibly Within Temptation. I’m not giving up on seeing the first two!

She’s used those drums for the last couple of albums and I don’t like them at all. I know it keeps the costs down but they sound so fake and have no dynamics.

Tbh I think that Rainbow is just one of those bands that simply no one can cover well. Forget Since you been gone and I surrender- Blackmore didn’t write those. But when you look at the sheer pantheon of talent he has had in that band - what’s the point in even trying, especially when RB has such a distinctive style?

Jorn Lande no longer with Frontiers?

I like that! Instantly recognisable but very different too. Nice.

I quite like it. It’s very much like the material on the last two albums but I didn’t expect any surprises. I do hate those programmed drums though.

Sorry, neither of these songs grab me…

I’m sure most of you know this already, but Jorn Lande covered this a few years ago. I like this version. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_AFmJ1Rq1xU&list=RD_AFmJ1Rq1xU&start_radio=1&pp=ygUdam9ybiBsYW5kZSBzb21ldGhpbmcgZ29pbmcgb26gBwE%3D&ra=m

Absolutely not the sort of thing I ever thought I’d enjoy. Yet I find them absolutely compelling. I think their performance, musicality and technique are wonderful. I don’t know if I’d classify them as rock. I don’t really care!

“Mean” by Montrose is the one that I want!

A 10/10 album for sure. Perfect production and an iconic cover. Strangely I still prefer Long Live Rock n Roll which I guess must be 11/10!
Forum: Noticeboard

It’s fine but a bit polite, you know? Rather Hammond-heavy with vocals that sound “phoned in”. Good guitar though but not quite enough for me to get.

She’s 75 and still has a lovely voice. The song doesn’t do much for me but good on her sticking to her guns and doing what she wants. Anyone remember the duet she did with David Draiman / Disturbed? What a cracker of a song! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YaEBglkCFVc&list=RDYaEBglkCFVc&start_radio=1&pp=ygUUYW5uIHdpbHNvbiBkaXN0dXJiZWSgBwHSBwkJAwsBhyohjO8%3D

Good to see quite a few others here rating SS. It’s my favourite Sabbath album too! Very different from their classic sound of course which is probably why diehards tend to hate it but explains why people on this board love it!

Partly due to increasingly diminished storage space, and ridiculous postage prices, I am more frequently buying music as downloads from sites like Bandcamp and 7Digital. I got Lou’s new album for $10.50 NZD which is about £4.50 I think! It’s a good album- my favourite of his solo works.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MoNhLJKLAyQ New album “Sanctuary” out June 5. I didn’t know they were working on one tbh, seems quite soon after The Bitter Truth which I loved, about as much as Fallen. This? To me it’s fine but strikes me as Evanescence by numbers. On this basis I’m prepared to be a bit disappointed with the album, apart from several songs. That was the case with th
