The Finnish rockers have a new line-up (again) and a new album coming out.
And a glammy new look as well.......

I can't say that I am terribly impressed with the sampler track on their myspace page.

I thought that their first album was good, and the second was ok. But nothing really grabbed me. I'll have to have a listen to the new track when I'm on a computer with sound (I'm now at work)!

What do you not like about this, Gary?

Personally, this sounds more like their debut CD than the last one did. I hardly played the 2nd one at all. I'd definitely add this one to the coolection.

The vocals in the sample track did not sound well to me. I really miss the girl that used to share lead vocals. Also hate to say it, but their new "purple" band photo put me off for some reason.

I'm also with Fundy, I thought the first album was good (but not amazing), and that (vocally at least) the second album didn't really click with me.

Wooooooo, that purple is a bit "X-Factor/American Idol/Talent show"ish! All they needed was a little glint on the teeth and sparkling eyes and that'd be that!

Looks like I am going to have to go against the grain here: I kind of like the bands new "purple highlighted" promo pick. In addition, I favor the groups second, "Invisible", just slightly over the debut, "Eyes Ablaze". Guess you could say they are both good but not quite great.

Subject: Re: Random Eyes Fri Apr 29, 2011 1:12 am

I think the music is pretty good all round but the vocals lack a bit of punch. He has got a good voice it's just not that powerful. Maybe that's the problem that I have with it...

After listening to the sampler on MySpace I share the meaning with Gary that I'm not very impressed.

Is that just because you got done reviewing the new "Family Force 5" press kit?

Actually, this is a photo of the "Purple People Eaters", one of those new glam-symphonic-progressive hybrid bands. Look for the review later this weekend. LOL!

Really? I think he's a fantastic vocalist, and I find "Invisible" to be a highly underrated power metal album in 2008. Not quite up to the level of Harmony's "Chapter II: Aftermath" but awful close in my estimation. I spun "Invisible" for weeks last year in my van - very catchy and well done album.

It looks like the whole album is out now (at least on eMusic, but I think I might be the only one left with an emusic account). I listened to samples of the whole thing, and I think I am gonna pass on this one.

Take a listen for yourself.

I'm going to wait for the CD if at all possible.
