W.E.T. featuring Jeff Scott Soto

I just recieved this album from a friend and didnt even know Jeff Scott Soto sang on this release or I would have had this already. Anyone have this melodic rock masterpiece? Songs are well crafted with great production and Soto sounds amazing as always. This might have to replace an album on my top 20 of 09...

I still haven't picked up WET yet. I want to though.

Very good CD, but it sure ain't perfect. I'd give it a 7/10.

I think it is. What would you consider the perfect AOR CD?

I would give this album a 8.5/10 its pretty amazing if you as me...

Now Is The Hour is a good album EYE. It doesnt have the hooks and power of WET. It has some gems but comes off too sappy to me... Light of my world and Path of least resistence would be my favs from that album...

Ooh, great song. Strange band name. Jeff has the Kravitz going on in the video.

Ahh...don't even have the latest Praying Mantis yet and I kind of want this too. Guess I will beef up my melodic hard rock/AOR stuff soon in the future..

I've been on a quest to beef mine up for the past few years. So far I am really liking Brother Firetribe the best of this genre.

Every time I want to get a new AOR album, something else that is power metal comes out just in the nick of time! Haha! So it's taking me a while to beef up my AOR section for sure.

The Places Of Power record is quite good...but W.E.T. beats it, IMO...

Wasn't much digging the Places of Power song..

See, I think W.E.T. lacks quality hooks. Some are there, but overall many of the songs lack a really memorable hook. Places of Power have them all over that album.

I guess we can say when both bands are on they are really on. With WET their strongest songs stuck in me more then say a band like Places of Power at their strongest moments. The song Comes Down Like Rain blows my mind from WET and man does Soto sound amazing on that record. Brothers in Arms and One Love all live inside my head after listening. I really do like that Places of Power album though...

Hey, I dig both albums, so no complaints from me, really.

Have you heard Stan Bush, the dude that did the old Transformers theme in the 80s? He did a newer theme, too:



Rocks! I only own the album it comes from, In This Life, but it's pretty damn good AOR.
