Russel Allens Atomic Soul

[Empty Vision]

Is this album worth checking out? I really like Russel's voice on most of SX's albums, but i wasn't that happy with the Odyssey but i know he's a great vocalist. I see him as a rock n' roll singer fronting a prog metal band and that kinda makes hime unique. So whats his solo album like?

 

[Phanto]

it's a rock n' roll/blues album so I guess you'll like it

 

[ABQShredHead]

I love that album. Unfortunately, I've lost it. Gotta take the car apart, I guess.

 

[Horus]

Atomic Soul actually got me back into Rock n' Roll as a whole, and that's saying alot.

I would surely buy this album if I had some extra money, but unfortunately I don't. I have to save money for new computer and so on. Maybe later tho.

It's a great album, but it's nothing like Symphony X. It's also not progressive (save for one song)... it's a rock album, plain and simple. Romeo plays guitar on a lot of it, but not in the Symphony X style.

If you want to hear some more Russell outside of Symphony X, check out The Battle by Russell Allen and Jorn Lande. It's like a cross between Russ' solo album and Symphony X.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Yeah, but unfortunately it has Jorn who sucks.

 

[Matt]

I love the album. It's a great 70's era album.

 

[Phanto]

Awgh Zack! Jorn was awesome in Beyond Twilight.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Yeah, possibly. i never heard beyond twilight. he was awful on his solo shit and other things and stuff.

 

[PoisonSeed]

Yeah, he's pretty awful nowadays. He was great on the Ark and Beyond Twilight albums though...

This album is gold. Jorn is gold. There are some comments on this thread that are simply beyond foolish.

l agree...and Jorn walked on Russel on "The Battle" release even though he obviously held back & didn't go over the top with his delivery. Hopefully, Russel will bring his A game to the next one.

Atomic Soul is Russel's best material to date. Definitely suits his style.

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

Yeah, but unfortunately it has Jorn who sucks.

Somehow I don't think Russ would've done the album with Jorn if the general consensus is that Jorn sucks.

i don't care what the general consensus is. i think jorn sucks. omg!

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

omg noo

 

[DoomsdayZach]

omg noo

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

I figure, why not continue this mature debate on whether or not Jorn Lande sucks by using 12-year-old girl internet speak?
