New Wildhea...I Mean Michael Monroe!

Great song, but man...totally sounds like a Wildhearts tune.

Michael Monroe is the original wildheart!

When does this album come out?

It came out a few days ago over here, it's up on the UK's free streaming thingy Spotify so I'm currently check it out. I've been listening to '78 on loop for a good week, so figured the album was worth a try (speaking of which, the official video is here for anyone interested: http://www.iltalehti.fi/nettitv/?30609354 - I always forget how odd Michael Monroe's face is...).

'78 definitely has a bit of a Wildhearts vibe, but I don't think the rest of Sensory Overdrive is quite overtly Ginger-y. His song-writing is certainly quite a clear presence, but it also sounds suitably in tone with Monroe's other stuff. Bits of it sound like a heavier Cheap Trick to me, but I might be off with that. It's a fun album, but none of it has grabbed me quite like '78 did. Might take a couple of spins. Definitely worth checking out for Hanoi Rocks and Wildhearts fans, though.

Smindy....Pm me here or over at ST. Maybe we can work out a trade...if you snag this for me.

Send me a want list.

Definitely sounds like a Wildhearts song. Good stuff!

Looks like it comes out here this coming Tuesday (3/22).

Haha, Shiney - I was about to say I'd gladly do a trade, if you're willing to wait until next week. You can probably get it quicker than that yourself, now! ;P

Just saw Toho's post..I'll get it next week...but still send me a list I'll see what I can find for you, we'll work soemthing out.

My want list is horrendously out-dated, I'll try and update it this weekend or something and pop it your way. I'm sure there's a suitable trade or three brewing.

EDIT: Oh Shiney, forgot to mention - I'm seeing Ginger on his acoustic tour at the end of April. If all goes to plan, he's going to have his new solo album for sale at the merch stand (it isn't officially out until June / July). Give me a shout if you want one of those, provided it does actually pan out.

Shouting!

Don't forget me when it comes to trades. =)

Haha, gotcha. You and Shiney (if he wants one) will have to be the limit, as I am a poor student after all ;P

Oh...Shiney wants one.

Thank you, sir!

Knew you would, S. Now we've just got to see if Ginger can actually get the album ready before the acoustic shows.

In the mean time, back to Sensory Overdrive: the track with Lemmy on is awesome.

(Couldn't think of better place to address you guys, so apologies for the irrelevant post)

Shiney, Eyesore: Bad news. Been looking at Ginger's Formspring and Twitter and apparently the new album won't be mixed and ready in time for the gig on Saturday. Guess we'll all just have to wait!

Booooooooooooo!

It's out in July though, so not too long to wait at least! With the new Dev releases a bit before that, there's going to be a lot of good music this summer.

I can't wait for the Devy albums. Deconstruction is going to be ridiculous.

Yeah, I'm chomping at the bit for it to get leaked. Of course, I'll be pre-ordering it too, but I don't think I can wait for the official release.

Oh, I'm downloading it. Haha. Devin always gets my money, but if there before I can buy it, I'm taking it. Sorry, Dev. Haha.

A guy I work with recently picked up an import copy of Michael Monroe's SENSORY OVERDRIVE and he just loaned it to me to check out... sounds pretty good. I dig the Lemmy track.

My copy of this shipped over the weekend.

I downloaded the bonus tracks.

I like this disc a lot! After 2 spins, my favorites are:

Trick Of The Wrist
'78
Superpowered Superfly
Modern Day Miracle
Later Won't Wait
