^No weak songs this time, that is for sure. By the way, as I said before, A Bite of Evil song works good for me. Especially for the solo.

John, do they call that short guitar soloing at the beginning of the song as fills too? yeah, it could be called a guitar solo or a riff. it depends what's being played.

What I am referring to is for example that short melodic guitar solo in the intro of One Heart One Soul.

oh, i would call that the intro solo, or the melody. in country music, they call that "the head", which is the solo that kind of sets the melody of the song. update: here, i just found this ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_(music)In its broadest sense, the head of a piece of music is its main theme, particularly in jazz, where the term takes on a more specific set of connotations. In other types of music, "head" may refer to the first or most prominent section of a song. The term may, though obtusely, be applied to classical music, insofar as classical pieces generally bear similar thematic elements, but the preferred term in this instance is (main) theme or subject. The term "head" is most often used in jazz and may refer to the thematic melody, an instance of it in a performance of the song, or a more abstract compilation of ideas as to what the song is. It may also, though uncommonly, refer to the first section of the melody, or the theme riff in the melody. There is a slightly related musical direction, D.C. or da capo (Italian, from head), which means to go back to the very beginning of the sheet music and play to the end, typically ignoring all repeat signs. In playing the actual music, the head refers to any time the band or musician plays the theme to the song. Usually this happens once or twice at the beginning and the end of a performance. For example, many Clifford Brown recordings characteristically feature a short piano intro, the head, several choruses of solos and a recapitulation of the head followed by an outro coda. Although it most commonly is, the head does not need to be played at both the beginning and the end of a performance, and is occasionally played in the middle, for instance between solos. Head In and Head Out are commonly used to refer to the first and last heads [of a piece] played. Jazz musicians often give each other the "head" or "top" cue by patting their hand on top of their head, which is usually meant to make sure everybody "goes back to the head," or starts playing the head again the next time the "top of the form" comes around. On the unfortunate occasion this may be due to confusion about "where" the top of the form actually is if the musicians get off-sync with one another, or a frantic attempt to regain composure and finish the performance, as playing the head to end a piece is default jam session protocol.

If the bit up front is a recitation of the chorus (ala Metal Heart, Up To The Limit, etc), that's usually a riff. If it sets a recurring theme that appears later in the song, especially if the formal solo is derrived from it, then that's an intro solo (ala Shadow Soldiers). If it never recurs or is even hinted at, it's just an intro (Ala New World Comin'). BTTW, interestingly, you could put in both latter categories, depending on how you want to look at it.

So is the case with Rising High, For me Rising high feels like new version of Thunderball (and maybe some other song on chorus, Infected?) and Bite of Evil is kind of cool, but the drumming is like from Doom ride, and that reminds me too much of tor-era. Positive things: Blood on fire might be one of the best songs from U.D.O. in many many years!

I wonder who is not Ban them ! I am back home and I am to say I got my vinyls as well. My couple makes a beautiful team - orange clear one and a clear one. But comparing to your set they are bound to fail Dont forget to update “pics of you UDO collection” section for a closer look. Your collection looks Like a rose in a desert Like a rock in a sea Like a cross on a mountain No more limits for me Btw , I had a three hours flight way back home freezing in there and only dry Turkish wine was warming me up. If not taking into account Steelfactory - it was a sky-high listening !

Probably even worse than Decadent and that one was a proper disappointment. There's a chance it'll get better with time, but so far the only song that I really like is Tongue Reaper - just because it's so frigging badass and in-your-face. In the Heat of the Night is good, Rising High too, but that's about it. I also like The Way, but that's just because it's a ballad and I always like Udo's ballads - it's definitely not one of his strongest ones. Secrets in Paradise was way more powerful and Words in Flame was a much better closer for an album. Hungry and Angry is so bad I don't ever wanna listen to it again. I have to write a review about the album for an Estonian newspaper, so I'm gonna give it a few more listens because I really wouldn't like to be too harsh with U.D.O. (after all, I frigging love the guys), but there's very little to love here. Even Udo's voice is fading, he actually mentions that in The Way. Andrey's guitar playing saves a little, because he's really on fire, but the lyrics are terrible even for U.D.O.'s standards. I'll probably keep listening to Tongue Reaper though, that one is awesome. Maybe I'll change my mind in time, but I highly doubt it.
