[7thSaviour]

I really like this project! I already love Talon and FW, so this one's a cinch for me!

 

[Metaldrumz]

Yea I been talking about these guys for a while. Love Talon, and Firewind so this is awesome.

Heres the thread where I mentioned them about 2 months ago

Glad to see them getting noticed!

Yeah I've had this album for a couple of weeks now, and I really enjoy Definitely a must-have for fans of melodic hard rock with an 80s vibe.

 

[MetalAges]

Looks like I missed this original thread, as I just "discovered" Outloud, LOVE IT.

Here's the new video for We Run:


Can't wait to hear the rest of the album, this is definitely in my "sucker" zone of Melodic Hard Rock.

 

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

The Trophy is ok but there isn't any one song that stands out for me. Bit worried about the next round of pastiche 80's albums coming out. H.E.A.T., Marcello*Vestry, Poodles etc don't really offer anything other than being a tribute to a sound. That sound also included songcraft which was done a million times better over 20 years ago.

[Heavenly Call]

I have a prioritized list of CDs to buy at PP and this one is near the top!

 

[adaher]

The band name, the album title, and the cover art would make this an instant buy for me without even hearing it.

The fact that it actually sounds like a masterpiece, and is being reviewed as such on all the metal and rock sites, means it's a potential album of the year.

I dont know about that...The Poodles Sweet Trade just freakin rocks my world!!!!:hotjump:

Yes, Sweet Trade is a damn fine hard rocking disc, and the best Poodles disc yet. Seven Seas is a killer track.

 

[YearsOfMetal]

That is really good. I like.
