Lance King - Reprogram...

Surprised no mention of this one yet :shock: . Really enjoying it! Melodies are awesome and very catchy songs + a heavy feel. Only had to listen once and started singing along. Check it out folks...

Good timing..... I am about 75% of the way through the disc in the car, and am really digging it. I've always been a fan of Lance's stuff, but his first solo album was a bit underwhelming to me. This one feels a little more diverse, and more engaging right out of the gate..... The drumming really pops out at me also; busy without being ridiculously showy.

Very impressed so far!

It's musically good, but the lyrics have so much Lancey cheese in them. I appreciate the concept, but hooo boy.

The occasional cheese is my only real complaint about the disc aside from a couple of songs that felt a tiny bit rushed to get finished. The production is outstanding, the musicianship a step up from the first solo disc, Lance's vocals are still in completely top form even as he goes into his 50s, and the overall heart and intent behind the words very empowering. It's a disc that really signifies what I'm looking for music to do to me in 2019. I've been playing it several times these past few days and haven't grown sick of it at all.

The benefit of having English as my second language is that I rarely listen to lyrics the first couple of spins through an album, so I haven't paid attention to this. However, as you said, the music is really good, and boy, does Lance sing amazing (as always)!
