Ian Hunter & The Rant Band--Thumbs In The Middle

The first two songs were pretty good, but the remaining three really did nothing for me and became the dreaded background music the three times I listened. He still sounds good. I really haven't paid much attention to IH except for some of his 70's and 80's music (not a big fan of Mott The Hoople) and this really doesn't change anything.   

HUNTER - It has been my intention to listen to this album for the last few weeks, but I haven't done it yet. Maybe some day?! My expectations are pretty low.

AB - I feel like, I'm kind of done with AB. At first, this album sounded to be better than their last one, but now I'm not so sure. I've listened maybe 2 or 3 times if that, and I'm so boooooored, if I "put it on"!! It's the same songs (and production) played over and over and over again and again and....! I'm not impressed (once again, Jeff) at all with whatshisname the singer. I was overwhelmed with the album ABIII, but that was then, and as the months passed by, I got more and more tired of the album as well. Then I saw AB at a concert, and almost all of the songs sounded exactly the same, just like this album. AB sound just like they sounded on probably all of their albums, and it's really not what I want to listen to, at least not in 2016. I had some hopes for this album, but the one word that comes to my mind is: Dissapointing. I have a feeling, it will be kind of the same thing, when Metallica's album is out.

Alter Bridge ...  I've poked around this album a good bit between meetings and some rare down time lately, and I've got to agree wit Niel's, its the sameness that just drags it down, and maybe its just me but Kennedy's voice was kinda irritating to me, and that's weird because I don't recall his vocals affecting me that way before.  Passing again on AB, maybe once and for all...

I have been totally unable to get into the Alter Bridge album.

a rare agreement amongst us three, wonder what Jon thinks?

He thinks, "I told you so, they still suck".

Even the album-cover is ugly.

Alter Bridge--Thumbs in the middle What is an Alter Bridge anyway? Do I really care or need to know? Probably not. Hey, that first song starts off pretty epic and then.....

and then.....

and then....

NO MORE "AND THEN".....

.......the singing starts and it completely goes downhill. Jeez, his voice is bad. Don't know why anyone would think that whiny, nasally singin' is good because it ain't! Now, I have to admit that, outside of the singin', there's some rocking stuff here, but the singin' just drags it down. Not that there's anything new being offered here, but I'm gonna be nice and go with the middle thumbs since the music really isn't that bad. 

Double post so I'm just typing something.

Dang, that is painful to look at.  Seriously, it causes eye pain.

I second that.
