White Stallion

[StanInBlack]

I am not convinced by JJ's vocal....I prefer the Wasp to a Flame Whisper as Hugh puts it. Jim should have sung it!!??

I know what you mean, but on the other hand I couldn't imagine Baz singing it. I do think JJ should have been the vocalist on "The Lines", though (because it's ridiculous hearing Baz sing "papa") ...

I like big production, so I'm into the idea of 'em doing a big production number but this did feel to me to have somewhat of a "Finland's next entry in the Eurovision Song Contest" vibe about it, which I find utterly comical. I can just picture it now: sweaty Scandinavian goths with nipple rings and leather codpieces thrusting about with opera singers dressed in wedding dresses with shitloads of pyrotechnics and steel girders.

Quite the vivid picture. I just thought classic stadium rock.

Its difficult not to be distracted by promo - baz's fake bants and jj earnestly singing into the mike is a bit much.

Glad jj is singing. Hope he sings most tracks to be honest.

Too much clutter over the top of that to get a true impression of White Stallion It does sound like it could be massive, but will wait to hear the 'clean' track!

What got me the most is that it's Dave's last recorded work..

I think Stan will love or hate this??!! We await his dissection and thoughts.

Well, this is one of the songs that they didn't preview live, so I'm keen to hear the full thing before I form any sort of concrete opinion. There wasn't enough in the preview to get a sense of the song itself.

Well from what I have heard it sounds unlike anything they have ever produced, i think it's a great achievement for a band who have been around for so long.It may get people thinking, hey let's give Dark Matters a chance, you may actually like it? And if you don't that's your personal choice as we almost live in a free country? Lt Kudu

Doesn't sound like The Stranglers!! It's operatic and I hate Opera!! Sounds like Jim Steinman produced it.....need to hear the full Song and It will be a Hit in Finland.

sounds interesting, Gothic, or whatever, Rammstein?/Anyway I think a good one!

Cradle of Filth

Except that (up to now) I haven't mentioned Hugh Cornwell in this thread once, so I don't know what "Hugh Cornwell related content" you're imagining. To be honest, I don't really need to as it turns out that other people have got that covered. You, for example.

Hahahaha, yes! I can see what you both mean in both cases. I mean, obviously this track isn't in the industrial/death metal realm but musically it definitely has the same sort of cod-operatic campiness as Rammstein and Cradle of Filth conjure up. Both bands I utterly hate, incidentally.

The production of all the tracks i have heard so far have been top notch by louis he's done an amazing job turning raw gems into giant productions.JJ said he wanted full production and the kitchen sink on White Stallion well louis delivered it and more by the the bits i could here.What a track and if like they said it was Daves last demo then the genius he was went out on a high.You cannot fail to be impressed in my opinion by White Stallion.
