Métal Intégral - Review / STILL SQUARE

Rocking again!

Approximate translation of the review

The " Rock Stars " to SQUARE have returned to tell you!
for those who have not experienced the 80’s (or not interested), SQUARE released in 1985, an album called Rock Star !
say that this group has unleashed passions at the time, would be a lie ... A good album that contains two or three very good reasons.
Besides a second album was composed in 1987 and he will never see the day ...
then the time is past, and it took little renewal of Hard / Heavy " Made In France " 2002, and especially the Paris France Festival of 2008 SQUARE to find a new name STILL SQUARE !
The group will participate in a spontaneous and very nice, with MADE IN France 1978 / 2008 of the Hard Heavy French anthology (see link on the homepage).

In early 2010 I received the CD promo of brand new album and my turn to speak, because the group is currently looking for the label that released shortly.

Firstly welcome the pouch that an audience sees a little "special" because it is the head of fans who sent in their group picture ... One way to show the warmth and passion of STILL SQUARE, Bravo!

This new STILL SQUARE is a real pleasure for the ears fan of the Hard / Heavy that I am! Everything is there! Energy, singing in French typically " French 80’s ", refrains and efficient production entirely correct.

During my first listening I thought it was ten new titles and it is only recently that I discovered that only Passe Ton Chemin , which opens the album and Maitresse d’Un Soir (a ballad) appear to be compositions recent (if I'm wrong thank you to comment)!
In fact you will have the opportunity to discover almost all the compositions of the 1987 album that was never officially released! Of course all the titles have been fully resumed and re-registered! The Guy HOC song is always excellent!

You will have a series of securities between Hard Rock and Heavy Métal 100% in the mold 80’s ! The best tracks are at the beginning of the album, Manoir Hanté, Accepte, Pour Dieu Et Le Roi, Condamnés and Sorcière. The others are a very good level and (from the ballad too much for my taste) there is no drop in speed! All

of Hard Heavy 80’s French fans will soon be so interested in this authentic slice of national history!
For influences I could compare STILL SQUARE to a mixture ofATTENTAT ROCK (Le Gang Des Saigneurs) and VULCAIN, all with a more refined.
ACDC is also present on certain titles, like Laissez Les Rêver !

As ROZZ, STILL SQUARE is a group that reveals a "positive" and reasoned, what was most needed in an environment " Métal 80’s " a little too complacent and uninspired in recent years. The video showing part of the making of registration

I can no of course not possible to judge STILL SQUARE 2010 on new compositions, I will therefore welcome this very good feedback that I hope will call soon and a new album few (see many) together share the hexagon!

City : NEVERS	Je suis en train de l'écouter. C'est du (Still) SQUARE pas de doutes, du très bon. Ca fait longtemps que j'ai pas écouté un disque français aussi agréable. Comment by Raskal : Hard Heavy French is not dead! Laaz thank you for your comment!

City : CHAMBERY	Je me suis comment dire...trompé dans mon premier commentaire, alors je vous met la réponse orignale de JP ! Enfin sachez que le label est BAD REPUTATION ! Sortie courant mars ! "Nous avons voulu impérativement sortir cet album avec les morceaux prévus en 1987. Seul "Passe ton chemin" est récent (2009), d'ailleurs est-il dans le même esprit que le SQUARE des années 80 ? "Maitresse d'un soir" date de 1987 mais a été adapté à la sauce 2009. C'est toujours délicat de composer une balade ... mais c'est du Still Square et on aime bien les défis :-) Les autres morceaux, même s'ils date de 1987, sont joués comme on a envie de les jouer ! avec un mélange d'énergie et de feeling d'hier et d'aujourd'hui ... avec une section rythmique différente mais efficace et très appréciable. Encore merci et à bientôt en live ! Rock On Jp (Still Square)"

City : NEVERS	Alors si c'est dans le style des anciennes compos, nul doute que ça me satisfaire. J'ai hâte de me délecter de ce disque ! J'ai eu la chance de rencontrer les gars de SQUARE à la Loco lors de leur première sortie et malgré les consos hors de prix dans le bar d'en face, on a tapé la discute tous ensemble. Achetez cet album, ils le valent bien ! Laurent de M.F.
