Pretty solid opening track. Looking forward to hearing more!

The new single is really good! Hopefully the rest of the album is as good.

I will say, though...I don't like the album cover at all. What exactly is it supposed to be portraying?

It's probably just me, but I seem to either love or hate their album covers.

Love: THWTD, No More Hell to Pay

Hate: Reborn, The Covering, new one

It's probably just me...

Jesus returning with all believers (here represented by Stryper) in their resurrection bodies wearing white robes and crowns. They come to judge the unbelievers and rule during the millennium. Eschatology 101.

Stryper - has a band from the 80s aged better?

My thoughts on the great new song by Stryper.

I didn't read the review, but I'm pretty sure you think it's great

I love this song. This has the possibility of being their best album yet. It feels heavier than normal Stryper as well. Their newer stuff (No More Hell To Pay and after) lean closer to Power than Glam imo. I'm really looking forward to this album but I have Motivik's new one on Monday to look forward to first.

Of the recent albums Fallen is my favorite and probably the heaviest. I have been loving this run of albums since No More Hell To Pay.

Yes, but you do not know why I think it is great.

Stryper have been amazing since NMHTP. My fav is either Even The Devil Believes or The Final Battle. Although ETDB's closing track is a bit of a joke lol.

I understand what Michael Sweet was trying to do with Middle Finger Messiah, unfortunately it does not work. Definitely the band's most awkward lyrics.

Good song. Who’s seeing them on their new tour?

I wish I could. Problem is, when they come to this area, they always go to Seattle and/or Portland - two cities avoid like liberalism

It'd be okay if they didn't wand me at the door

I have seen them 4 times in my lifetime, I think that's enough

In the comments on the YouTube video Michael says that they're aiming for 21 albums

by Christian Thrash Rules Wed Jul 03, 2024 9:14 pm

That's a lot of albums. What are they at currently?

by Soldier777 Thu Jul 04, 2024 7:17 am

Including only original material full length regular releases, 13 albums. Counting Second Coming (rerecordings), The Covering (mostly covers) and To Hell With the Amps (acoustic versions of older songs), 16 albums.

by StevenCressler Thu Jul 04, 2024 1:27 pm

That must be why Michael said they're at 16 so far. So Ig they're only going to have 18 original material albums

by Soldier777 Thu Jul 04, 2024 3:06 pm

Perhaps aiming for 21 where it's 7 plus 7 plus 7? Looks like they are doing 5 more which will take another 10-12 years. They will likely have another rerecord abmnd a covers album. So there will likely be around 16 original albums and 5 other types not counting live albums. Thwts not a bad accomplishment. They will be in their 70s by then. Thet's the link where he says this?
