SMASH OR TRASH VIDEO (UNDAUNTED BY ADRENALINE MOB)

[RJhog (Admin)]

Mike Portnoy's new band, what do you think?

[Mike Mills]

Smash: I Liked It! Good Riff Throughout, Powerful Chorus & an Interesting Guitar Solo!

[TageRyche]

Hell Yeah...SMASH all the way!

[Niels (Mod)]

Absolutely SMASH!! The album's released the 12th of march.

It's not Portney's only "project". On the 26th of march, Flying Colours will release their debut-album, with Portney on drums. Other members of that band are Steve and Neal Morse.

I'm thinking about picking up the Flying Colours disc, but if you are gonna get it, I may wait and check it out in NMC first.  Have you seen the video of them in the studio?

[Niels (Mod)]

Unfortunally no, I haven't seen it yet. I've read an interview with Mike Portney, where he says, that it's Prog-rock in the line of Radiohead. Can you confirm that? I will definetly get it, so you can easily wait until it appears in NMC, either in mine or Jon or Scotts?!!!!!

Check it out:

I CAN hear a LITTLE Radiohead in it, probably the vocals, but it sounds like good Prog-rock to me. I'm really looking forwards to these two albums. 

[Scott]

Love the tune, the music is most defintely SMASH, but the vocals are just STASH...

[RJhog (Admin)]

My opinion mirrors Scott's opinion...

[Jon]

Sure, SMASH, what the heck. Liking the geetar and I am surprised that more didn't have an issue with the singer, but he's ok in my book. For some reason I'm not really dying to purchase this, even though I like this song. It's just something that might get old after awhile. .

[TageRyche]

I'm surprised anyone would have issues with Russell Allan's vocals. He's fantastic. Fronting Symphony X, working with Jorn Lande and now here. Just excellent in my opinion.

[Jon]

It could be because he's close to CM vocals (not quite there, but maybe a bit too close for some folks) and some peeps don't like that. Just a guess on my part.
