It ain't like Eric just did this. It has been an ongoing list since Arrival. He simply added his review of Revelation D1...

[The_Noble_Cause]

One World 2004 Mickey Thomas - Over the Edge Smooth AOR, could have stayed on Arrival over Sap C+
Surrender 2004 Mickey Thomas - Over the Edge Cheesey, but better than Alive Again C+
Eyes Wide Open 2004 Mickey Thomas - Over the Edge Haunting..better brand of ballad B-
Sea of Emotions 2004 Jack Blades - Jack Blades Good balls to the wall rocker B
To Touch the Sky 2004 Jack Blades - Jack Blades Ditto B

Never understood why Schon & Cain sold these Arrival leftovers.
That, for me, indicated that new music was not going to have pride of place in the Augeri-era. And it didn't.
More amazing still is the fact that Arrival leftovers made their way onto "Red 13" "Generations" and now "Revelation."
I guess in their downtime from ROR, Cain and Schon just kept writing and writing and...

tl;dr

[Eric]

I agree TNC.

[sniper16]

Time 2002 Red 13 Ditto C+
.................

to quote "Lora" lol




esp when I could focus on the above - different strokes, lol.

'The Time' is my favorite from the Augeri-era. I love his voice here - more than anywhere else - and killer, killer guitar at the end.

You have to give the band credit for creating 58 new songs this decade......
