Classic Rock Bottom

By "yeah, that second one" Jon

Picture--Warhorse (March 2012)

The latest release from Dutch band Picture, this is their second album in the last few years after a very long hiatus. To be perfectly honest, it's a bit of a tough listen. The production isn't the greatest and Pete Lovell's voice seems to be a bit off on most tracks. However, there is a very good thing about this album: the geetars! Very heavy, very ominous. There's a few tracks that I liked on first listen, maybe the rest will grow on me, but I dunno. If you like traditional metal, you might like this. If you don't, well......

Picture, eh? I bought "Heavy Metal Ears" back in '81. Didn't like it. Only bought it because of the title. 

THUMBS EVEN

It doesn't sound like "Heavy Metal Ears", or what I remember, it's probably 30 years ago, since I heard that album.

Reminds me of Accept. He even sounds like Udo Dirchsneider sometimes. Some of the guitars sounds good. I like "Accept-guitars"!! Is it the same band like in '81, I mean how many are left? Not a very good singer!!! The sleeve looks like an album from Saxon, "Crusaders" of course. I guess it's not the music they put in the MOVIE "Warhorse"!! I don't think it's crap, just not very good, except for "Killer In The Sights". That one is probably the best track. Nice riff. Couldn't sit still to that one  ........Ahh, okay, some of it, is actually pretty good. the last track is also good. Maybe it should be a LITTLE higher than even!!!

I believe there's only two left from the original lineup, the drummer and bassist

Heres some in depth per track analysis

 

1 - Uh....

2 - Uh...

3 - Think I lost My Way -  this is better that the first two tracks. Not anything to write home about, but better.

4 - Uh...

5 - Like the opening riff, then  more, Uh...

 

Guees we know, who likes traditional metal.

this is traditional metal?  who knew!  If thats the genre, then yes count me out...

Believe it or not, I don't hate the singer.  I've learned to live with crap singers a lot since getting to know you guys.

 

Seriously, it's not really an album I would purchase, but it's not bad.  I thought the 3rd track was decent.
