Oh, and I bought "Riding on the wind" from Itunes.
At first I thought I heard a song by Pet Shop Boys, because of the disco beatbox intro, but after 5 seconds the guitar falls in and we hear a song familiar to "Losing faith". Again, a very repetive sing-a-long chorus: "riding on the wind...
Don't judge too early on this album, because Firewind's work usually grows after a few listens.
For instance: I didn't like "Chariot" at first, especially the lyrics didn't fit with the great guitarwork, but now I do...
There are some great tunes on it:
- The ark of lies
- Set the world on fire
- Chariot
- Skg
- The yearning
- When all is said and done
But there are also many songs that depend heavy on a sing-a-long chorus like:
- Embrace the sun
- Broken
- Cold as ice
- Losing faith
they have a...
The album is available on Itunes since today!
I ordered the limited edition with extra artwork, plectrum, sticker, t-shirt, so I don't buy the Itunes edition.
"Riding on the wind" is indeed no Judas Priest cover.
It sounds like an average Firewind song, nothing essential.
To my...
For foreign customers Play.com is not cheaper than Amazon.uk.
Both have the limited edition, but without t-shirt!
If you want the t-shirt, you pay 8 Euro extra and you find it exclusive with www.cmdistro.de via the bands website.
Today the Japanese release came out and I surfed to their...
Euh?
You didn't want to hear the 30 seconds of each song and wait for the album? :tickled:
Oops, that was Katie Force, not you (edit)
Apollo doesn't say much and they look at their papers all the time.
No essential info is being given, but you hear more now of each song and that's...
Favourites so far:
Of course the uptempo songs...
- "SKG" is a great instrumental
- "The Yearning" is very epic, and I see myself already singing it along in concert
Sounds better than 7/10 given on Blabbermouth.net! :kickass:
It has a great deal of Power metal as ingredient.
Now...
:yow: I found this message on their http://www.myspace.com/firewind page, left down under, where the band twitters:
Just downloaded a new track off FIREWIND's new album Days Of Defiance #firewindmusic #centurymedia Click here: http://bit.ly/8Zka5k
I followed the link and clicked on Twitter...
I've seen them twice in 2008 en 2009 touring the same album with little difference in the setlist.
Hope they come back to Graspop next time to promote the new cd.
OK, thanx for the info! :)
I managed to find the song and it's a balad.
At first hearing, it's an average song and not essential to have...
So, now I only need to hear "Halycon days", but I guess I will order the Japanese version as usual.
Alright, but how comes she's talking about "Wild rose"?
That song was on any edition of "The Premonition", in fact I never heard of this song before...
And according to cdjapan there are indeed the 2 bonustracks I mentioned on the jap edition...
