Very industrial, heavily effected, not like any other Seventh Power album. Robert Sweet is nuts on this album.

The compact disc is now available on eBay.

And it is now ordered. Thanks, Andre, for letting us know that the CD was available!

You're welcome, dude. My pleasure. Now to update my blog about it

I got the CD today but haven't listened to it yet.

I got mine too, but because of my laptop's busted DVD player I can't listen to it until next week, when I get home from March break.

I have listened to it once, and I found it rather bland. The songs have some good riffs but lack great solos and hooks. Some of the songs just feel odd with the drum patterns that Robert Sweet used. To be honest, this is my least favorite release from Bill thus far. He seriously needs to do something that sounds different and needs to focus on working with better singers.

I agree with you in this.
An other vocalist like Bill has used before is a very great idea.

I thought the same of it when I got a chance to listen to it. Good but not as much immediate hook as D&P or Red Rock.

Bill is a great mucisian, but I'm sure an other is better in doing the vocals for his CDs.

I'm sure CHM has tons of talent to donate…

Actually, I offered to do bass for him on projects but never got a reply. I'd do it for free just for the fun of it.

Y'know, so would I. He's got more bassists than Spinal Tap had drummers, but not that many vocalists. If only he could get the FSA singer back for a fourth album…

That indeed would be fantastic

If you gave it one listen and weren't impressed, give it another listen or two. The hooks will stand out after a bit and stop you from sleeping at night.

I've listened to it about 6 times. This is clearly the weakest project Bill has done. No big hooks and minimalistic leads. If Robert were not drumming on this, it would not be worth what I paid for it.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the leads either. The bass also feels kinda drowned.

Give it 3 years and he will "redo" this and tweak the bass, add more leads, etc.

FSA is my favourite of his. I listened to it about three times last week. I think it's a good point to make that when he gets a powerful singer then the music just sounds awesome. Although to be honest I did like the first Seventh Power album (it's the only one I've got).

Fundy

Fundy, you should get Dominion and Power (2nd album). It sounds massive and has great songwriting.
