Deens ghost vocal on Arrival??

[*Laura]

Let me just say I hardly think Neal was the main reason the rockers are simpler and catchier on Arrival and Gens than TBF.

Gotcha.

perry by every account held incredible sway over musical direction and was absent for the Arrival and Genertations sessions. Not rocket science.

Didn't recognise you for a moment there, Red.

Are the rockers "simpler and catchier" on Arrival and Generations? If anything I'd say that they are more shapeless and unmemorably generic.

See much's as I liked to hear them rocking on TBF I think that MOL, OM, CTTL are generic compared to RM, HP, FITH, TPIYH and WGW. There was just something either absent or else too much there on the latter.
Perry and crew were clearly onto something with Castles Burning, though, imo.

[ForceInfinity]

The album wasn't given any promotion. Also the musical climate wasn't right.

For all you Perry loons, tell me this. On Trial By Fire, what was the second single and where did it chart?

In total agreement about Deen though, and that interview with Herbie is awesome reading. Always worth a second look.

Weren't MOL and WYLAW pretty much released at the same time?

Not sure.

My point being that TBF only had 1 hit.

MOL is the only song on that record that rocks.

MOL the only song on that record that rocks? Shit man... I must be way out of line, but last time I checked, One More was a rocked just as much if not more so than MOL, and was probably one of the harder songs they have ever done.

Holy s**t, are you kidding? If He Should Break Your Heart, Forever In Blue, Still She Cries, When I Think Of You, Easy To Fall, It's Just The Rain, Trial By Fire? Hello? Dude, put down the bong.

Those are ok songs, but boring.ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............................. Something is missing big time from them.-ERIC
