danielmclark Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Jan 27 2012, 11:51 AM) All of the songs in 30 second previews: http://www.vanhalenradio.com/vanhalenradio...-all-the-songs/ Posting as WMA files = massive, epic FAIL. What kind of retard posts WMAs to a site like that? Sorry to be so harsh, but this is web design 101: don't alienate a significant portion of your users. Why not just require IE while you're at it? Thanks for the link... but whoever runs that site made it 100x harder for me to actually use the site. Fking annoying.

Presto-digitation Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I just saved them and opened 'em up in Realplayer. Now they can disappear and I won't care. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It won't hurt me any. Maybe we should consult with Tick first. He can pray and see if Tebow replies with an answer. Eh, feck it...RUN THAT BABY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 This album is heavier than expected. Tattoo is NOT the template. I'm just saying that. I dig that tune, don't get me wrong, but the big harry bastards were tucked away nicely...quietly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUCH heavier!!!! "As Is" seems to be an instrumental track from what I could hear...it starts with a Baluchiterium vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I tell you what...if I was Sammy Ha-ha Hagar right now I'd be digging a hole to hide in it for the next decade or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjtull Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I like The Trouble with Never better than Blood and Fire. BaF seems a bit too repetitive, until you get to the solo. However, both of these songs are better than Tattoo. I'm still not convinced that this album will appeal to more than those who are already VH enthusiasts.

Presto-digitation Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Well I'm sure it'll be mostly snark from Sammy. I'd rather listen to this album take a shit than Chickenfoot though. Talk about irony from Hagar...commenting "it should sound better than it does." Touche bitch. You're in a band with Mike Anthony, Satch, and Chad Smith. Why isn't YOUR band better.

It may be the album of the year for you but it seems kind of old hat to me. A lot of TTwN is downright boring, IMO. However, if you like it...it's all good, right?

Presto-digitation Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm really inspired by these clips. They certainly pushed out the more melodic stuff (which I love...crave melody) first and hoarded the heavies. Unless something unfolds in these songs to make them sound like shit (and usually the clip is the underwhelming part), then it's a good sign. When 30 seconds turns you on, well...

Rod in Toronto Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Me too...and I tell you what, based on the samples, Dave's voice doesn't seem as shattered as I thought it'd be, Wolfie does a fine job on bass, Al is as solid as ever, and Eddie is back in shape and ripping it off like there's no tomorrow. The weak link, as it turns out, is none other than Tattoo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadoood Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 These clips are decent, but really, they are just rehashing tired old grooves...that whole Bottoms Up/Im the One /Full Bug vibe...the difference being that it isnt 1979 anymore, and Roth sounds ridiculous trying to sing that way now..

I was expecting Dave to sound A LOT worse based on his last solo albums and videos of his solo career on youtube. But it works fine for me.
