Welcome to Friday New Releases and today we have a ton of new music for your listening pleasure. There are four that I really want to check out and they are Honeymoon Suite, Durbin, Crazy Lixx and Blackberry Smoke. But there is one that tops them all and that is the new Jeff Scott Soto album as he joins the band Art of Anarchy!! That one has been bought and I’m ready to crank it up. Jennifer Lopez has a new one too if you are interested (i’m really not, but you might be) or maybe Idles or Chromeo, who knows. Take a look and let me know what you want to hear this week or what we may have missed. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

I’ll go with same lot as you..Soto, Durbin and those Swedes…I wish Durbin could get some great songwriters behind him
I’ve been stuck listening to Paradise Lost “Host”. It’s kinda their version of Depeche Mode. Do u ever get stuck listening to one album and just keep coming back to it?

That was me when Ghost put out Impera. On a day like today, it makes for good snow shoveling music.

Couple of funny connections from this list. Just read that Honeymoon Suite is opening for Aldo Nova at a small theater nearby in NJ. Don’t know if it’s a prolonged tour together but I was intrigued. Honeymoon Suite goes back to 80s for me too, New Girl Now & Feel It Again. And Art of Anarchy is 2 brothers from here in Staten Island that seemed to have been put thru the grinder when Scott Weiland was gonna be their singer & then he split. Scott Stapp, and now Soto, hopefully 3rd time’s a charm for them, xclnt musicians. They’re playing at a local venue in North Jersey in few months too…On the calendar! Thx for the Friday heads up…

Man, i would love to see Aldo and HS together. That would be awesome….now to find a reason to go to New Jersey. On Art of Anarchy, I am not a fan. I only bought it for Soto, but the band has no real identity for me. Each album is so different and the new one doesn’t really have any good songs…too heavy for me maybe. Which is a shame. I want to like everything Soto, but with over 70 albums of his in my collection, they all can’t be winners.

I’m very curious about the new Blackberry Smoke album, but I need to give it a listen and see if I like it first. Their songs have been a hit or miss for me. Besides, I need to be more selective with my money since I already spent a lot on the Lyft fees in Vegas.

The Blackberry Smoke was hit or miss for me. I loved about 1/2 the songs, didn’t care much for the other half. The Honeymoon Suite album is a serious blast from the past. It captures their 80s sound without sounding dated. That one is probably a buy for me.

Blackberry Smoke is that way for me generally. You get some really good songs from each album, but the albums as a whole are just okay. Honeymoon Suite was way better than I was expecting. An early favorite for the year.
