Edguy - Rocket Ride

What's everyone's thoughts on this album?

I like it even though it's lyrically childish in spots.

I though the "mouthed" solo in the middle of "Return to the Tribe" was rather silly.

The only two Edguys I've heard were this one and HELLFIRE CLUB. I liked HELLFIRE CLUB a lot better. ROCKET RIDE was too goofy for me, I traded it off a while ago.

Rocket Ride seemed more hard rock than metal to me. I still have it, but it's been awhile since I've played it. I like the older Edguy stuff better. RR didn't grab my attention all that much. I may need to give it a fresh spin and see if anything jumps out at me.

It has moments I love.

Not as good as Hellfire Club was but it was still a decent album. It was a lot different from their other stuff which I dont mind. Edugy is one of my favorites and I never get sick of listening to them caues theyr always doing something different. The next album sounds promising.

I think it's ok. The songs don't stick with me as much as the ones off Hellfire Club do.

I think it's awesome. The mouthed solo is dumb, but that song isn't the greatest. I hate—HATE!—"Trinidad." I cannot stand that song. It's the band's worst ever. Other than those two, I think every song is great. I view the album as a rock album. "Sacrifice" and "Return to the Tribe" are more power metal, but overall this is a rock album. I love it.

My favorite Edguy disc is still Mandrake.

Man, listen to the title track and Wasted Time. Awesome.

I love this album. It was my first Edguy album, I've since gone back and gotten most of their other stuff, but this is still my favorite (and one of my faves out of my whole collection). It's a lot more accessible to me because it's more along being hard rock & hair metal. "F'n With Fire" is a great hair metal song.

Yeah, I know Edguy "sucks" and "sold out" because this album was alot different then their previous ones, but I think it's great.

I'm anxiously awaiting Tinnitus Sanctus (due in November!) which sounds like it'll be a bigger, louder version of Rocket Ride.

It's catchy! If you don't pay attention to the lyrics, it sounds like something you'd hear from Disney's Lion King or something like that.

Hey, a lot of people like "Trinidad." For whatever reason, it just irks me. Very few songs annoy me to the point of wanting to punch the musician that wrote it, but this is one of them! Still love the album, though. Favorite track is "The Asylum." Man, such a killer tune! I loved those mid-paced stompers, you know, those tunes that have that "Holy Diver" kind of groove. Love 'em. All my favorite Stratovarius songs are like that—"Falling Into Fantasy," "Alpha & Omega," "Awaken The Giant," "Dreamweaver," etc.

Anyone else think the beginning of "Wasted Time" is like a mix of Bon Jovi's "Bad Medicine" and Danzig's "Mother?" Haha.

Also...anyone interested in their early demos? What's cool about the demos is that they show a much more 80s rock/metal-oriented band, which makes Rocket Ride not such a head-scratcher.

I purchased this album just a week ago and from the first listening I must say that I like it. At the moment I think that Hellfire Club is much better, but RR is something that I enjoy too.

Like many others said, It's good, but a set back from previous efforts.
