It is the last Friday of the month and Monday is Memorial Day here in the States which means we have a 3 Day Weekend. Sadly, it is never a big week for new releases, but there is one I am excited about…Mark Slaughter solo album!! That is really the only and it is highlighted in Blue!!
Mark Slaughter – Halfway There – (EMP Label Group): Mark Slaughter is back with another solo album and I am so glad to have him back with new music. If Slaughter is not putting out albums, at least he is. If this first song, “Hey You” is any indication of what is to come, then strap in and be prepared to have your ass rocked off!!
Foreigner – 40 – (Atlantic Catalog Group) – Yet another greatest hits release…as if there wasn’t enough of those out for the band.
Alestorm – No Grave But the Sea – (Napalm Records) – This seems interesting!!
Danzig – Black Laden Crown – (Nuclear Blast America)
Kraftwerk – 3-D The Catalogue – (Ralf Hutter)
2 Loud 2 Old Music 
Foreigner can be added to the list of the Cash Grabs behind Aero and Demon and Starchild..
All u need with Foreigner is Records there Comp from 82….

Playing the Slaughter track now. I dunno. Good groove going on there, but I’ve heard it before. His voice is still good, if not better.

Listening to it on the drive into work and it was good, but not great. Nothing jumped out as memorable so far. I think he and Mike Starr from Steel Panther sound a lot alike now. Nice guitars on it though.

There is a Mike Starr in Steel Panther? That’s too many Mike Starrs! There was one in Alice in Chains and one in Dumb & Dumber!

Well, actually it is Michael Starr, but yes…it is his stage name. His real name is Ralph Saenz.

Let me know what you think on the Danzig. I find the Alestorm band intriguing. I might have to give that one a listen.

Proggy band from Iceland. Their last album was brilliant and the new one is getting rave reviews! Can’t wait to hear it.

I love Foreigner, I really do but they definitely need to stop with the Greatest Hits albums. I would love to have a new album by them as I actually really liked their most recent release but if I can’t have one then just get on with touring like Hall & Oates.

Yep, they are as bad as Kiss with greatest hits. They are touring here in the States and will be in Charlotte soon, I believe. Not going though.
