- Easily their best sounding record, everything sounds sweet and dynamic. Vinyl is clean and quiet. Really enjoyed listening to this compared to their later albums that are unnecessarily compressed. Songs were definitely improved on their follow-up album Anthrm of the Peaceful Army, but I wished it sounded like this one.
- All these CHEAPLY made records 2020 and beyond are NOT the same as the RSD release of 2019! Someone really needs to take the time to sort this mess out! The ORIGINAL FIRST press with hype sticker sounds great! If it didn’t come with the RSD sticker it’s NOT a first press!!
referencing From The Fires (CD, EP) 00602567126034
Where's the line between being influenced by classic bands and being a copycat of these very bands?
Greta Van Fleet's quick breakthrough was their debut E.P. "Black Smoke Rising" in 2017 and one of its songs, "Highway Tune", became a fair success (for the contemporary classic rock standards, anyway).
The E.P. stirred both enthusiasm and criticism, as for some GVF were sounding a little too much alike Led Zeppelin.
Even listening to Josh Kiszka's voice was almost like listening to a young, exultant Robert Plant.
But there's something else here than a discussion on whether GVF are original enough or not.
At the end of the day, most contemporary bands are widely influenced by classic rock luminaries (my favourite contemporary classic rock band, Rival Sons, are never far away from Page & Co.) and, oh well, weren't Led Zeppelin themselves involved in some copyright claims?
The true question is: does it make you bleed?
As far as I'm concerned, I'm not worried with GVF sounding a little bit too much like Led Zepp.
My main issue here is that they don't stir me a tenth of what Led Zeppelin do.
Don't get me wrong, the guys have the chops and sure know how to write a good rock song.
They just lack the... venom Page & co. had.
Released in the same year, "From The Fires" would be a "Black Smoke Rising" expanded edition, as it actually presents the same songs plus four more tracks that follow it's younger sibling stylistic path inch by inch, and songs like "Edge Of Darkness" or "A Change Is Gonna Come" while trying new elements such as choirs, are still heavily influenced by the usual suspects.
Is this a bad thing? That's up to everyone but, to me, and despite the above mentioned lack of fire, it's always good news that there are young guys out there willing to grab a guitar, hit the drums or sing their lungs out for the love of rock so, even if GVF are not among my most frequent listens, I wish them a long a prosperous career so they will find their own voice and, who knows, become as influential as those who inspired them.- My factory-sealed copy matches all the details listed here, except no hype stickers/Record Store Day promotion. Plain cellophane. Brand new, fifteen bucks from Amazon in May 2020.
- My pressing sounds pretty good. No skipping or issues. Some surface noise and a little bit of pops on a few songs, but nothing that's distracting. Could be a little bit better balanced, but enjoyed my pressing. 4/5 on sound is accurate. I was a bit nervous when purchasing, but overall happy. I cleaned the album before playing, not sure if it would have skipped without it.
- I ultrasonically cleaned new/sealed copy but very crackly and A4 skipped, wow. Luckily didn't pay much, and frankly the CD sounds better sonically. Not recommended pressing.
- Edited one year agoafter looking into this, i think its right to say this version must be split from the RSD 2019 release, that release had a logo on the back, and a hype sticker, my new copy has none of the RSD information, although both black with the same matrixes
Its clear the notes need to be changed
