Albums to look forward to..................

There are a number of albums I'm gonna be interested in buying.

Saint - Crime Scene Earth
Really looking forward to that. Every CD they've put out has been great (apart from The Perfect Life, but that was mainly down to the vocals being so different). Artwork, as has been stated, looks really good, and the lyrics are the usual Saint style i.e. Biblical!

Seventh Avenue - Terium
Most probably SA's new album will be my album of the year. Their last 2 both were (2002 and 2004) and the sample on their purevolume site suggest this album will be no different. I love how Mike has made the lyrics so openly Christian on the stuff he's written, and the music just keeps on getting better.

Stryper - Murder By Pride
Yes, it's true that Reborn wasn't my favourite album, and the style wasn't what I really wanted, but you have to admit that Stryper can write some great hooks! It seems to be that this new album is going to be heavier, or edgier than the last with a melodic sound aswell. So that's gonna be good!

Mission Of One - Another album on the way from Chris. This'll be in my collection too! Gotta love the openess of the lyrics.
Theocracy - Probably gonna get this.
Rivera Bomma - Loved some of the tracks on their I Am God album. Hopefully this will be as good, or better.
Bride - Maybe out at the end of the year (maybe 2009). Dale can still sing with the best of them, and each recent album is getting heavier!

(there's some I've forgotten..........)

I'll definitely be getting the Saint and Stryper--no questions asked. I have consistantly loved pretty much everything they do (except for "The Perfect Life" EP by Saint).

Bride is if-y. Without getting a whole Universalism debate started, a lot of it depends on just how much of this is in the lyrics this time around.

I'd like to hear more Rivera/Bomma. I like them, but I think they could really benefit from working on a tad more of a commercial metal sound.

And as for Mission Of One, I'm pretty sure that I'll have that before anyone else does.

Albums I am looking forward to ....

Mission Of One is the first and how strange you don't have to preorder this Chris.

I am looking forward to a new Glenn Kaiser album.

"World Covered In Blood" the new album of X-Sinner is favorite.

The new Stryper is one I would love to have too.

For Bride and Saint I will wait.
If the new Bride is only a promote for UV I don't need to order this album.

For Saint I will wait till to listen to some samples first or to read your opnions for this album.

INCRAVE (formerly Evergrace)
Will release their new album “Dead end” April 25th in Europe through Ulterium Records. 1. Shattered 2. The forgotten 3. A shadow in the dark 4. The touch of
death 5. Unveil the truth 6. Shades of me 7. An empty soul 8. Scream in
silence 9. Never more 10. Dead end

RandomEyes
"Living for Tomorrow" single will be released in 6.2.2008 the name of the new album has yet to be released.

7days
A new album is on its way.
Preliminary release early autumn 2008.

Harmony
The new album is being mixed this month and should be released sometime this year.

For me there are a couple;
Obviously new Stryper & Bride are at the top. Bride still rocks to me and either I'm not a good interperter or don't hear it but I haven't really heard any of the UV stuff in the music.

Re:Zound-Abandoned to You (March)
Paul-Alan-ex-Nouveaux singer (February)
Pillar-For Love of the Game(February)
Esterlyn-Lamps(February)

That's just a few I can think of right now

I will be getting all the albums from Fundy's list (except for Bride). I'm sure I will also get the Random Eyes and Harmony from Stryped's list.

Also really looking forward to Shining Force's new album (hopefully coming out this year), & the new X-Sinner.

I'll be all over the new X-Sinner like a fat kid on cake.

yes, me too!

Fundy

I'm really looking forward to the Oracle "Selah" rerelease. The one track they had on the compliation smokes!

This is really me waiting for the new X-Sinner.
I hope the other songs on "World Covered In Blood" has the "old" X-Sinner sound too.
To be honest the angry einstein project was not so bad, but I missed the specific X-Sinner sound on that album.

These sound very interesting to me:

Re:Zound-Abandoned to You (March)
Pillar-For Love of the Game(February)
Esterlyn-Lamps(February)

Esterlyn was formerly known as Grand Prize. I loved that CD, and would like to hear more in that vein.

Re:Zound is a rock worship band that I had thought was long gone. Their last CD came out back in '03. But, I'll check it out when I have the cash.

Piller--they are one of those bands that I like but don't really know why. I just seem to have a soft spot for them. I'll get it.

One CD I am really interested in getting is The Afters "Never Going Back To OK". I got to see them a few months back opening for Building 429. They performed 3 song from the new disc, and they were a little heavier than their debut CD. Lyrically, they were also quite moving. Of the more pop rock bands releasing material right now, I'm putting this at the top of that list.

Saint will come first, though!

I often listen to Re:Zound
When I understand it well there comes a new Re:Zound out in March?
Great Christian lyrics has this band.

Fireflight is also releasing a new CD called "Unbreakable" on March 4.

Ditto

I will be getting the Pillar, the Fireflight and the Oracle (when/if it comes out).

Click above to hear a complete song from their new album!

Esterlyn has gone more alt/emo than what Grand Prize was. At least when they played here over a year ago a couple weeks after they changed their name that was what the new songs sounded like to me.

Re:Zound is in the stores on March 11.

Alldat, I thought you'd like that disc... if you can just think of it as a different band (kind of like with Messiah Prophet's "Colors" album), it's actually a pretty decent AOR disc...

Not my favorite by them, but "To Live Forever," and "The Runner" are great songs.

I would have like "The Perfect Life" much better if they had used a real drummer instead of that terrible drum machine. Some of those songs had some great attitude, and the drum machine just killed them.

I know what you mean... but I still like the songs. "Deceived" is a great (and Heavy!) track, too...althought I'm not really sure what's up with the intro to it...

I'm pretty sure that the new X-Sinner, Stryper, and Saint will be my year's top 3. Just a feeling, but I am willing to hear whatever any other bands put out before I judge.

I will listen first before those bands get a place in my top 10.

Top three predictions........

1 - Seventh Avenue
2 - Stryper
3 - Saint

(Must be the year of the 'S')
