First impressions from "Grime vs. Grandeur"

[Odin]

Heyho,

Prab already pointed his finger to the cover artwork and the tracklisting including lyrics, so I can skip that now.... BUT - just yesterday the promo arrived here, all hail to Metal Blade!  

I am hesitating about how much to disclose... hrhrhr... perhaps only bit by bit for now: It once again took me a little longer to get the feeling for this album, but after four or five rounds I can say it is definitely closer to the debut than the other two albums. The songs are heavier, have a lot of groove and there are some REALLY sweat choruses (for example the opener 'Emotional Skies' - you could figure that out by the title, I think ).

Maybe I'll give insights to more songs in the days to come, hehe.

Anyhow - look forward to May 2nd 2005 when FALCONER are going to conquer the metal world once more!  :D

:evil:  AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! :evil:


 :shock: HE HAS GOT A PROMO CD!  :shock:


You lucky b... b... board admin :D



*sighs*
*waits till May 2nd*

[Odin]

Haha, well, it's more due to my position as chief editor of B4M than as board admin, but anyway, yep, I have got one, nice you remind me. <putsonfalconeragain> Na, just kidding, at work currently, can't play music here.  :?

That is encouraging.  I like all their albums but their first is still my favorite.  Thanks for the update Odin.

That was from me.  Sorry, thought I was already logged in. :roll:

[Odin]

Oh, I should have kept my mouth shut, I guess... dangerous to go out of the house now...

'Emotional Skies' with the sweetness of its chorus makes up a potential and worthy follow up to 'The Clarion Call', I think. 8)

The only thing that already or still makes me ache is the fact that I am missing two tracks on the promo; both bonus tracks (digi and Japan - I am especially longing for  'Rock'n'Roll Devil', because the title sounds like something really entertaining in the vein of 'Busted To The Floor', I think).  :evil:

[Stefan W]

Then you are right. Take Busted....and add yet another dose of Purple and Rainbow.
Wake up (digi) is a more midtemposong allthough more rockish than the average falconer song. It also have Andy LaRocque on additional leadvocals.

[Odin]

Thanks for verifying my speculations, Stefan.

Andy already enriched 'Busted...' with his leads, I think, just very cool groove. So I am no less looking forward to the 'real' release than anybody else, because I need every bonus track I can get, haha!

Stefan, I'll try to figure out a possibility for a phoner interview soon, I'll contact you after Easter, alright?

Keep rockin'

[Avricha]

I eny you Nat, I think I have to pay you a visit  

But good to hear that your impressionh is so positive, now I am really curious. Too long until May.

I think Falconer is the most important young heavy metal band. But their each album is unsuccessful than preceding album. If I want to listen power metal why I choice the Falconer? Sorry but last album isn't attractive except for lyrics and cover's theme. (Can Stefan give some information about these topics?) I think Stefan don't aware what they accomplish with first two albums. I understand why music is changing but this is a sad thing for heavy metal.

Well, just drop me a mail to discuss time and place and I think we can arrange a visit and a listen to the album, haha. Just drove past Bremen twice this weekend and remembered you are living somewhere there. It's not that far, so give it a thought maybe.
