Segue Myles Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Among The Living is reminding me a lot of In Flames- Reroute To Remain Two bands that could coast on the successes of the past, could repeat the same album over and over again and be a success, but didn't. They released batchit crazy weird hugely melodic genre bending albums. Reroute To Remain is weirder, but Among The Living is the most fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 Just now, Segue Myles said: Imitation Of Life is exceptional. I love the way Joey delivers the lyrics in this one. Crazy to think this is the guy who got kicked out later on for not being able to put enough attitude in his voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Okay that album was exceptional, I'm actually really moved by how much fun it brought me. I'm very low at the moment and that was a massive burst of fun energy right when I needed it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to think this is the guy who got kicked out later on for not being able to put enough attitude in his voice. Scott wanted more emotion and aggression from Joey on Persistence Of Time. Those were Scott's deepest and most personal lyrics to date and he didn't feel Joey conveyed them properly. They also felt his live performances of those songs were lacking. One of the main reasons they claim they got rid of him and brought in John Bush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying, it's surprising to think you would leave behind as fantastic of a singer as Joey Belladonna specifically because you had higher standards than he couple produce at the time.

TheAccountant Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Ready for another trip to the early 80's? Scandal - The Warrior I recall all of side 1 got airplay (including their cover of Journeys Only The Young) with the big hit being the title track to the album. Still like the title track. The rest of the songs are not wonderful but they sort of fit together well and flow, one to the next. So they become worth listening to as a collective album. Individually, not really. Only the title track (and the Journey tune) would be worth listing to on their own.. Decent album. Lets see what vinyl comes out of the moving box next... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Christopher Cross-Another Page (10/`10) A lot is said of his brilliant debut. However we need more love for his followup. Which i think is just as perfect as the first. Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick I first listened to the debut having been told he was a one album wonder...never listen to "music fans", who treat greatness only in terms of media impact and album sales. Great album! I love his work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Queensryche- Operation: Mindcrime Just to annoy you Mick, if I ignore the concept, I'd still be tempted to call this the best album of the eighties 😅🤣 Anthrax- Spreading The Disease This. Is. Perfection. Iron Maiden- Powerslave Ditto 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great album! I love his work. there was nothing one off about him. he ruled the late 70's early 80's pop scene. Winning a few grammy's multiple radio hits. THEN in the mid 80's he vanished. But there was nothing flash in the pan about him, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
