W.E.T - Live in Stockholm

[ebake02]

I'm surprised nobody has picked up on this yet. From their Facebook page:

On Feb 21 we are releasing a live DVD with 18 live tracks. In the same package is also a double live album with 3 bonus tracks. Two songs from the "Rise Up" recording sessions and the original demo of "One Love" the way it was presented to the band in 2009. The left over songs were not cut out because they were not good. We just didn't want to have fifteen songs on the album.

This is our first ever live release and the show was recorded a year ago at a sold out concert in Stockholm, Sweden. Thanks to all that came to the show and made it a very special night to remember. The concert took place about a month before the album was released so we really asked for a lot from them. A bad idea that turned out great! Cheers!!!


It's already available for pre-order on Amazon too:

Just to give this a bump....I just got this 2 nights ago and I haven't stopped listening.
It's fucking amazing!!!

Also, I need to add...I'm usually a digital download guy at this point. I've jettisoned most of my CDs to ebay and I keep all of my music in the cloud. However, this time around I bought the CD/DVD package from amazon. In part, to get my hands on the DVD. In part, because the packaging is REAL nice.

Also, I need to add....I've become such a huge fan of Erik Martensson. I LOVE him in Eclipse...but the guy's like the hidden sucker punch in WET. He's got this sizzling voice that mates VERY well with JSS's...

Got my copy yesterday through Amazon. They send you the audio files immediately which is really cool. The live DVD is great and this really is a stellar release!

I listened to it and I'm kind of torn.

I love the 1st W.E.T. album, but the songs from the 1st albums don't see to come off well in the live setting. You could tell the chorus parts on the 1st album were really amped up to make it sound large. The songs off the 2nd W.E.T. album come off sounding better than they do off the album. I like the 2nd album a lot, but IMO it was hurt by the production job because it to me sounds like they cranked up the sound way to high on 2nd album and it makes the release suffer. The band does seem a bit weak in terms of the sing along section of the chorus to be because it sounds thin with just JSS and Erik's voices and to me they would be smart to add a 3rd guy to sing back up vocs if they record another live album.

Overall it's a very solid live release.
