Heart-New Album "Jupiter's Darling"
 

Run do not walk to purchase this post haste. IT TOTALLY ROCKS!!!! Anyone else heard it yet?

Can't wait for the tour! It's gonna be a mindblower for sure.

:wavey:

I didn't even realize Heart was doing a new album until I saw it in the Best Buy ad. I'm planning on getting it this weekend.

you cannot just recommend an album without an apparent reason, details please.
is it Dreamboat-Annie-good or Brigade-"good"?

Uh....do you even have to ask? :laugh: It's more like Dreamboat Annie meets Bebe Le Strange meets Little Queen meets Dog and Butterfly. Let me put it this way, they've definitely gotten back to their 70's hard rock roots. There's also a bit of acoustic stuff thrown in, a ballad or two, and Nancy sings on a few songs--(she sounds great btw). I think there are 16 songs on the album, looks like they took the Fleetwood Mac approach in pushing it as far as it would go before becoming a double album. I am impressed with every song so far, I've only gotten a chance to hear about half of it, just got it last night. Ann's voice is AMAZING!!!! Absolutely sublime! She hasn't lost any of her powerhouse vocals. I just can't say enough wonderful things about this album!

I heard a couple songs last night on the radio from it, they were a little more acoustic, which I don't prefer, but they really sounded great and i liked them. I don't really buy hardly any CD's, but i'm gonna get this. The song i heard sounded very "new" if you know what i mean, but better because Anne's voice is, of course, the best ever.

I really need to get this cd! I heard/read such good things about it I can't wait to get it! :D

Hooray! :blob1: I'm leaving for the music store NOW!

BTW, does Heart have a new website? I had a link for an old one, and it's gone...

Yeah, it used to be www.annandnancy.com but it changed to something like, www.heart-music.com (not sure if that's exact or not).

Thanks, I found it. You had it right: http://www.heart-music.com

I'm glad they put up a new site, it's pretty slick! (A much better website than a certain OTHER band who shall remain nameless...). They have audio clips of the entire album, and some really cool photos and wallpapers of the band having fun with sparklers.

I'm glad they put up the audio clips - I checked my bank account before leaving after my last post, and guess what: empty! :laugh: But at least I got to hear snippets until I can get outta the poorhouse. The music sounds great -- can't wait for the tour! It'll be my first time seeing them live (after missing them the last 3 or 4 times they were in Houston). I'll most likely go to The Backyard show in Austin -- a beautiful, oak-tree lined outdoor venue that's really small and intimate -- which should be perfect for my first dose of ear/brain damage from Ann's voice. :nod:

Yes! I will be there too. The Backyard is head and shoulders above the venue I saw them at last summer (Billy Bob's in Ft. Worth...blech!) during the Alive in Seattle Tour. I could barely see them, but they looked and sounded AMAZING!!! And those women can MOVE, I have never seen so much dancing, and jumping on stage in my life. They really get into their performance.

I can't believe they're coming to my area to play at The Big E in September for only $5. I am so going and bringing my camcorder. :laugh:

I still haven't been to The Backyard. Maybe I'll check it out for this show.

I can't wait to get this today! I've been hearing the new songs live for over a year now (What can I say? When you live in Seattle, you see a lot of Heart shows!;)), and I love them all! At a show last month, I thought Ann said the album was going to be called Jupiter's Dawning, which made me want to puke, so I was glad to hear it was in fact "Darling":). Their setlist this year is awesome, although I prefer when they don't do the slow part in Crazy On You for whatever reason. Mostly the same as last year, but the running order is tons better, IMO. Even It Up and Wild Child were the show-stoppers for me. You also can't beat them rockin' the Zeppelin!

I'd pay big money to see them perform Black On Black Part 2, lemme tell ya. That's always been a fave, no matter how cheesy. :nod:

Yeah...they've completely neglected that album as of late.:shrug:

I'd love to hear Stranded, no matter how cheesy.;)

(Obviously they are capable of overcoming that factor since they do play Wild Child...)
