New TANK tune "Don't Dream In The Dark"

[Jasonic]

Not bad, but very mainstream sounding.
Not sure what I think overall.....

I know I bitched about it when they came out with their last album, but they really need to rename this band. This sounds NOTHING like Tank. The guy sounds like a good singer, but Tank was always about rougher vocals. I mean it's like if years ago, Motorhead replaced Lemmy with Bruce Dickinson. Better singer, sure but doesn't fit the style.

Agreed that it sounds nothing like the original TANK.
Though a band like TANK, or any old NWOBHM band isn't releasing new material solely for artistic purposes.
Its just marketing so they can get on festivals and what not.

As I said, this isn't bad. Though with this sound, they would go over better on a bill with Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, or UFO (all bands I love BTW), as opposed to NWOBHM bands.

Oh I totally know why they're doing it. I just think it's bullshit to call it Tank. Like I said, it's not bad it's just hard to get behind it due to it sounding nothing like old Tank.
