Rate The Song Above You Part III

[dr wu]

Ho-hum soft rock number lacking technical proficiency, a catchy melody, or originality. 6/10

Because this is an 8-minute song, I'm going to add a comment here from the YouTube channel which I found interesting. And maybe it'll help you lose yourself in the music.

"I turn around and come back to this song. This is more than a song. You are in the middle of the desert, in your own desert of existence, in an immense nothingness. Like a traveler trying to find your way through the sand dunes, you are trying to figure out where you will go. No road, no sign, no sound, just nothing. Your throat burns because of thirst, the sand makes it difficult to breathe, the bright light of the sun burns your eyes. You have no one to help you, you're alone in this desert. Your mind is playing tricks on you because of your tiredness, you see the same view wherever you turn your head, you cannot understand whether you are dreaming or awake. In the middle of that loneliness and nothingness, you hear a voice from far away, leaving you in a cool shade from the burning sun, touching your dried tongue with a drop of water, giving your tired body the strength to keep going in the middle of nowhere. You follow the voice, because every voice in the middle of the desert feels like a hope for salvation. That voice is this song ..."

*Sorry for the interruption....a wonderful lp...best since the early days imho....Andy Latimer on guitar -a founding mamber- has often been compared to Gilmour on guitar but has his own style imho.

Decent track but not really familiar with their music ...sound like many hard rock bands with a bit of prog going on ...they r listed as prog related on Prog Archives....surprised me...7.5 because they r on PA.

My friend Ryan wanted me to listen to these guys ...hes a big fan....what say you?

The band was defnitely committed to the theme of the song... Nice composition of the track and I liked the change in melody to a softer lull; an accomplished piece.. 8/10

This is a tribute to Thin Lizzy by x members of the band playing Black Rose.

Gary Moore was one of the best, what to say? And Thin Lizzy's songs always are cool. 10/10.

Where's the old singer? I liked him better. This guy sounds like every other wanna be hard rocker. The song is also clearly inferior to their older hits. 6/10

@Aero, if you talking about Sebastian Bach (the original singer) - he left the band almost 30 years ago and all the band members don't want to have anything to do with him. After Bach there was 3 other guys, and then - this one (Swede Erik Gronwall) from the video above. Btw, his already left Skid Row either (because of his fighting with cancer).

Classic Scorps ballad, I always loved its melancholic mood. 10/10.

Next one: AI rethinking of an old Rick Astley hit.

As the old adage goes : you can put lipstick on a pig , but its still a pig. I'll be honest tho , this is the 1st time i've listened to this song in its entirety. 6?10

 

[Hydrazoic Acid]

Brilliant, flawless composition! I have immense respect for great multi-instrumentalist Paul Gilbert and everything he's done. And Scott Travis (for me) - is the best drummer in metal. 10/10.

 

[Romulus]

Absolutely brilliant impressionable song and group 11/10...!

Rainbow - Wolf At The Moon

 

[Hydrazoic Acid]

An amazing rockin' song from an amazing and criminally underrated album. 10/10.

Let's try another Rainbow song.
