That's been the problem with the European power/speed metal market.

Overall, I agree with ...I have so much to say here. <BR/>Overall, I agree with your review. <BR/>I think the boys in VOJ did a good job with their first effort, considering most of the album was self-produced in a cabin in seven days. <BR/>I can assume the band members didn't know what they were doing when producing this disc, yet the talent is undeniable considering the short time they've been a unit. <BR/><BR/>Does VOJ deserve a glam crown? Yes and no. Yes, for attempting to break big with a genre of music that isn't as popular anymore (I mean, it's hard to compete with Nelly). No, because they are not as good as their direct contemporaries, CrashDiet. Then again, CrashDiet is on a major label and enjoyed a highly produced debut effort. <BR/><BR/>Honestly, I "was" floored by Lit Up/Lit Down and that's saying a lot. I don't really care for a lot of new music, but I count this disc among my favorites and I try to see VOJ live every time they stop somewhere in Ohio. <BR/><BR/>VOJ are a great live band. I was way too young to see Guns n Roses perform live during their club days, so I would imagine these early VOJ shows are likely early Hollywood Rose gigs. <BR/><BR/>My two (and a half cents). <BR/>Allyson<BR/>www.bringbackglam.com<BR/><BR/>I've written about VOJ extensively, head to my website if you'd like to learn more about these very hot boys.Allysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036694417940203392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-48507209565365782252007-04-02T08:46:00.000-07:002007-04-02T08:46:00.000-07:00I've heard good things about them and after readin...I've heard good things about them and after reading this I will probably pick up their CD.<BR/><BR/>One thing I hate is when new bands release a CD with two versions of the same song. There's no reason for a new band to have an regular and an acoustic version on the same CD.MrRyanOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607621271037613315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-55773262354646862652007-04-02T06:45:00.000-07:002007-04-02T06:45:00.000-07:00Great Review.
