New Brainstorm

[rms]

Its been leaked, I havent heard any other album but this is pretty good imho.

 

[The Metal Pigeon]

I thought the last album had a few songs that were some of their best, but as a whole the album wasn't as strong as soul temptation. Didn't they have a member just quit on them too? Hope it wasn't the main songwriter...

 

[longshot9]

it was the bassist that left.

 

[VenomGA]

I am looking forward to hearing this. Hopefully the aggression is there this time.

 

[Bear]

You mean the remastered Hungry?

 

[edgeofthorns]

IMHO, Liquid Monster and Soul Temptation are both brilliant discs.

i love Soul Temptation... im lookin forward to checkin this disc out.

 

[jkohn]

I loved Soul Temptation but couldn't get into Liquid Monster. I'll be checking this one out first rather than buying it "blind".

 

[Iced Dog]

Agreed. I can't wait to hear this, though the promo has voiceovers so I'll be avoiding that. I like Mark Gromen's comment in his review of Downburst...

"these ten tunes benefit from the symphonic diversification sweeping through the power metal movement, i.e. Primal Fear, Iced Earth, etc."

 

[edgeofthorns]

Well, I have this on order, along with Testament's re-release of "The Gathering". With that said, does anyone else have any opinions of "Downburst"?

'Downburst' is a kick ass record! I got the promo from Metal Blade & it's the first Brainstorm album I can remember liking instantly...agressive & melodic...very good songs! It needs to soak in a little more, but "Fire Walk With Me" and "End In Sorrow" are killer & 2 of my early faves from the CD...

 

[BlackRoseMetalHeart]

I've only heard part of "Downburst," but what I heard I really liked. It is indeed a kick ass metal album. Although I should mention that I was already a big fan of Brainstorm and loved both "Soul Temptation" and "Liquid Monster," ST being my favorite of the two. I seem to really enjoy whatever Andy Franck has his hands in, as I really enjoy Symphorce as well, although between the two bands, I prefer Brainstorm.

 

[Metaldrumz]

Im starting to think many of these bands are suffering the quantity over quality syndrome. Most of the melodies from the new Brainstorm sound recycled. IMO Edguy has suffered from this fate as of late, and more bands are continuing. I'm really hoping that Jorn doesnt go down this path as well. I dont hate the new disc, but it doesnt sound like a breath of fresh air either, and sounds like everything I've already heard from Brainstorm for the most part. Still a few solid tracks can be heard.

I still "LOL" at the "it leaked" threads. If I made a thread everytime a CD leaked I'd have the entire forum consumed with them.

This cd reminds me of Iron Savior, they don't change much if at all, but the album still rocks.

 

[DAVETHEMETALGUY]

today is the ADD date for Brainstorm, meaning the radio guys got them a long time ago...so it really wasnt 'leaked' per se......

 

[AngraRULES]

I didn't like it. =(

 

[7thSaviour]

Can't wait to hear the new one. BTW, it's out now in the States!

Yeah, I just resurrected it rather than making a new thread.
