The band sounds good but it really saddens me to hear that Wetton has been whirled into the AutoTune production trap :-/ Surely it must be worth the while to either take the time to do the vocals without AotuTune or to use it in a way that doesn't show this obviously?
@hapehaka Don't believe everything you hear. .. from the self-claimed 'sound geniuses', around the internet, who claim they pick up autotune on a vocal, immediately, any time they're hearing ANY song it was used! They can't. And regarding Wetton, most are claiming they can (saying he was autotuned to death) - as a way to try and say John Payne (their previous singer) is better than John Wetton ... 'cause of course HE doesn't have autotune on his recordings (bullshit). Which he isn't better.
@Padarack1 Payne probably uses pitch correction as well, I havent checked any albums after Aura to be honest. As I mentioned in another comment - it is fairly common to use, but unfortunately sometimes it is too obvious. Again, to provide you with a horrible example - check out some of the vids from the last Toto live dvd (Falling in between)... If you can't hear THAT then thats good for you - it annoys the hell out of me...
I strongly suspect that Asia reformed because of all the publicity they got from the "40 Year Old Virgin" and the use of their music in an ironic way by South Park and others.
If he says, ,,Asia's the shit", I guess it isn't some kind of negative statement. It means that Asia KICKS ASS! Awesome band! And so, why thumbs down?
Yes, it's very good! I highly recommend it if you're an Asia fan. It has all the original four members (Wetton, Downes, Howe, Palmer). The video response is the full version of this song, check that out too.
|The intro to this song sounds like "Heat of the moment" from their debut album in '82... Steve Howe is the best guitaristout out there!!... I just bought their latest release album "Phoenix", and it is just awesome!!!...ASIA ROCKS!!!!
Great song! The new album is fantastic! Nothing quite like the chemistry between these four guys. I really miss great melodic rock like this. Welcome back guys!!
Classic Rock and Roll at it's best from the very first guitar riffs.
How many songs these days come out with this kind of guitar work?
I think this track shows each member at his best, Wetton's singing and bass playing, Geoff's synthesizers, Howe's guitars, Palmers, drumming and the Asia signature harmonies. It has the same perfect blending of their track "Time Again" from the debut album.
My favorite all time band is back after a 25 year absence! They sound better than ever! Go see them live. They are amazing! Nobody does it better than Wetton, Howe, Palmer, and Downes! Welcome back ASIA!!!!
The samples I've heard (over at their reunion site) sound pretty good. I'm eager to hear the rest. I REALLY hope that Steve Howe gets plenty of playing time. The samples seem a tad heavy on Geoff Downes synthesizer. "Never Again" sounds great, hope it gets some radio play. Welcome back Asia!!
Cant wait to get my hands on this cd, this is going to be a classic and what can i say about NEVER AGAIN well its truly asia through and through fantastic track, if this isn't a hit then i'll eat my underpants
