That's really the title? I thought it was a joke :shock:

You can download a clip from a new song here:

Not impressed at all, but I'm not a big fan of old Manilla Road either.

Shame he never got to see Hobo with a Shotgun before writing Grindhouse, that Canadian masterpiece destroys those Tarantino movies. :lol:

The track preview I heard was REALLY good, but the title of the album is kinda tacky. At the end of the day, music has to speak for itself. I really like Voyager so I suspect this will be very good too.

The sound's unchanged since the previous album. I like the song better than most Voyager material though, so I hope it's a trend of the entire album.

Sounds great, Hellroadie keeps improving, although if it was just Mark like on Voyager I would be fine.

Interesting artwork. I like the references to Open the Gates, etc. The logo definitely should be on flames to match the burning buildings.

I gave it a spin yesterday after a long neglect and I was a bit surprised that a couple of songs manage to enter and stick in my mind. But still nothing that totally grabs me. Maybe a grower or maybe not. Point is also that I cannot stand those growling vocals.

I modestly liked that album at first, but recently also gave it another spin and I liked it a lot less. So definitively not a grower. :p

Yes not a grower, re-spinned it too and... that's not working. the songs are TOO LONG (that's crazy) and not so inspired. + Shelton has no more voice :( and yes the growlings are... off-topic.

Outside of the 80's, I just like Gates of Fire in fact. :?
