Re: Afterglow

Just listening to it for the first time.  When I first saw the episodes on youtube I wanted to desperately hear the tune that the intro from 'Midnight Sun' belonged to. And it's amazing, I'm listening on KRK RP-6's and the sounds and tones are quite amazing. I especially love Midnight Sun and the high - school of rock - vibe in the intro. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1qF5v0GpBw , watch that if you don't know what I mean - haha!
I'll report back when I have more findings;) But so far, the riffs are absolutely blasting and it's definately a hard ROCK tone.

Re: Afterglow

still loving Afterglow and more so each time. one of the things i was trying to put into words has to do with Midnight Sun, and a few other ones. now i like the harder edge on this one and Glenn's more intense vocals. but sometimes i like it without that. i love Midnight Sun but when it changes from the intro part to something heavier and harsher on the vocals and back, it took me a while to get used to it. like i said i dig it but alot of the songs have that back and forth or different styles within. its kind of BCC signature now i think in ways. i wouldn;t change it but wonder if some would like Midnight Sun if it just continued in the style of the intro and some of the middle parts?
i dunno i wouldn;t want them to change anything to appeal to something other than their own desires but some parts of the songs don't sound like they go together until you listen alot and know its coming.
not a right or wrong but a what if.

hope that makes sense. still dig the cd so much. really can't place favs. but agree with what alot here have said about certain songs and their excellence


One of the great things about Glenn is his ability to sing in so many different ways. He really put that to use here and it works to absolute perfection! The song arrangements are nothing short of brilliant.

Re: Afterglow

Jane

The DVD has a 50 min 'Making of Afterglow' which is pretty much the sum of the Webisodes.

There are also 4 full length music 'videos' for:-

Afterglow
Confessor
Midnight Sun
This is your time.

Re: Afterglow

Loving this album but it's not as intense as the first two, and I am not sure how I feel about that yet.

I think Common Man is one of my favorites so far, but Confessor has the old school BCC fast passed hard core sound.  Great album though I can't stop listening to it.

Re: Afterglow

After entering the UK album charts last week at 29, the midweek update now has Afterglow dropping outside of the top 40.

Re: Afterglow

Well that's not good, it needs more airtime.  I pester the hell out of all my local rock stations and I can't get them to play anything from BCC, nothing but the same crap you hear over and over it's sad.

Re: Afterglow

Liking it. My own band had its first outing last week and after listening to a couple of videos from it I have to say there are bits I wish I'd done better. So I have something in common with Joe! Got Afterglow on in my Land Rover One Ten - nice 'n' loud so it drowns out the old diesel - and I'm just getting familiar enough with it to get lost in it. Which makes it pretty good rock in my book. Thank you Joe, for your part in making it.

hey have you ever tried requesting at 98.5 out of York?

I'm fairly new to York Jane but I could give it a shot. I'm sure it's a corporate station though and..........

As you know, it has nothing to do with how good it is or how many people actually bought the record. They didn't buy it from the "right" company. People could march on the station in the thousands and they still wouldn't play it.

This band could be HUGE. I'm sure of it. Its that good. Sad.

Re: Afterglow

So true FY so sad but true BCC is that good..Maybe BCC will spawn some new bands that are influenced by them?But finding the quality of musicians as these 4 will be hard to beat.
