I can't find it. Link please.

Oh, I was looking on youtube. Oops wacko.gif

 

I like how it sounds, it's closer to old school VH.

It's incredibly thin to me. There just seems to be *no* bass here to speak of. I can kinda hear it a little bit waaaay in the back, but the song overall has no OOMPH to it.

I'm gonna pass on buying the songs like that - if I buy the album later (and that's a very big IF) I don't want to have already paid for a couple of songs.

Well and you can't buy them from amazon UK here in the US anyhow.

I don't really like Stay Frosty but The Trouble With Never and Blood and Fire are very good.

So far, based on the samples, I'd rank the songs in this order:
Blood and Fire
The Trouble With Never
Tattoo
Stay Frosty

I love everything thus far.

 

ALBUM OF THE YEAR! tongue.gif

It's clear Ed hasn't rediscovered the brown sound of the late 70s and early 80s but it sounds pretty solid.

oh and:

 

It turns out that "Blood And Fire", the newly previewed song from VAN HALEN's "A Different Kind Of Truth" album, is not so new after all. After a 90-second sample of track was released earlier today, the band's hardcore fans were quick to point out that it is based on an instrumental called "Ripley" from "The Wild Life" movie.

 

Released on VHS in 1984 and starring Chris Penn, "The Wild Life" featured a score written by VAN HALEN guitarist Eddie Van Halen. Only one song ("Donut City") was included on the movie's official soundtrack, while others, including "Ripley", are heard throughout the Cameron Crowe-directed film.

 

Here's Ripley for comparison:

Sure. If you bury it in the Tattoo thread people won't look. Plus we're competing with Dream Theater for the most obnixious posts. wink.gif

Just...ignore it, like when there's violence and offensive gay things on the television. Don't write to the FCC, just...change the channel.

I say there shouldn't be so much VH on a Rush site!

 

The new stuff sucks and they don't matter much anymore imo..

It's a General Discussion forum. There's a whole slew of Rush forums too. It's like saying we should be talking so much NFL in the sports forum on a Rush site. tongue.gif

I listened last night, and I agree with everything that's been said about the track.

 

1. Much better than Tattoo

2. Intro has a Deja Vu feel

3. The overall sound is thin

4. Bass is almost non-existant

5. The chorus does feel a bit awkward

Alright! Quality is starting to rise on the album. I'm looking forward to the re-record of She's the Woman, it seems that it will be the best song on the album.
