Flotsam and Jetsam album news

2012-10-02 by Trey STAFF | 27 Comments
Flotsam and Jetsam has set Ugly Noise as the title of its new album, which the band is currently writing for a tentative early 2013 release.

Guitarist Michael Gilbert has even worked with original bass player Jason Newsted (ex-Metallica, ex-Flotsam and Jetsam) on a few songs set to be released on the new album. Musically, Gilbert has said that the upcoming album will be something that could have come right after 1995's Drift. This shouldn't come as a surprise as the band's current lineup is the same as the one that recorded Cuatro (1992), Drift (1995) and High (1997).

Funding for the next Flotsam and Jetsam album is being aided by the PledgeMusic.com project, which encourages fans to contribute funds to the recording of albums and the artists themselves to donate to charity as a part of their fundraising.

Their last album was pretty good. Like Dead Heart In A Dead World meets Cuatro.

Yes and Flotsam's Cuatro album. If you've never heard these guys, this band has the better vocalist and their last album is a perfect place to start.

I've heard them, I just haven't listened to them in years, and even then it was their old stuff. I am intrigued. I will listen to it now.

The whole thing is awesome. My review has it listed as a 3.5 (which is 'great'), but it's more like a 4 now.

You probably don't like Nevermore either, though.

The press release says that this is the same line-up that did Cuatro, Drift and High -- but, minus the bass player, this is also the same line-up that did Doomsday for the Deceiver, No Place for Disgrace and When the Storm Comes Down. I'm looking forward to this.

Never cared for this band. Considering most of their output has been mediocre, they should have
disbanded ages ago.

The new album is actually really good, as long as you like the Cuatro/Drift era.
