Download Two New Stan Bush Songs on Transformers.com

It's a pretty good alblum actually.

Stan Bush is a really cool guy.

Why are they giving away his biggest selling points ?

Oh well. *load*

Thanks Stan!!!!

Cool
Big thanks to Stan Bush for this.
I actually bought the import version of the album when it was released and it doesn't include these two tracks, so this is awesome. Thanks for making these other tracks available to those who bought the earlier version.

nice!

i'm still bummed he wasn't on the movie soundtrack

Wish this guy was as big in America as he is overseas.

I'm really digging the new version of The Touch, Stan's voice has really aged well, and that doesn't always happen with singers.

The other new song is pretty good too. I might just get his new album to support the guy, I feel like it's my duty.

Not bad at all. I enjoyed it.

THANKS STAN!!!

PS, I wouldn't mind an update on Dare either

That's pretty cool. Both are on my PSP now. I'll be listening to them tomorrow at work. Yay!!

That's because most professional rock singers scream into a mic for too many years. It really tears up your voice.

I prefer the original "Touch" better. The keyboards seem off and more corny on this one. Has anyone else noticed that "The Touch" is one giant collection of clichés? I like the song, don't get me wrong, but I feel like it's more of a guilty pleasure that I wouldn't ever admit to in certain circles, like any that exist outside of TransFandom.

he should redo Dare as well...its the better song i think..i actually have it on my mp3 player..lol

I am LOVING the new "Touch"...more digital, more keyboards...of course it has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the fact that I play keyboards myself.. It keeps that great 80's sound while throwing in a few new twists and sounds, with a more modern drum backing. It's a fuller sound...

Most songs are a collection of cliches...either that or about sex...only person I've ever heard not use cliches in his music is Peter Gabriel, but half the time I have no idea what he's singing about anyways..

"Til All Are One" critique: This HAS to be the song he mentioned way back that had 70+ tracks. This song is a very interesting blend of new tech and 80's rock sounds. I'm very impressed by the changing of the beat on several occassions to almost a 6 beat feel. The overall feel is a very deep, surrounding sound. The extended intro reminds me a bit of some of the so-called "art music" of the 70's- it is clearly trying to tell a story; one can feel the conflict inherent in the story through the different styles imbued in the stanzas. THe chord progs are also very impressive...the chorus is composed of a minor I chord to major VI, to major III to Major V of III...personally I always loved that prog.. The overall song is in A minor. Stan's vocals are still very good- high voices tend to burn out in pop music, but his has held out well. The downside is I almost feel like there's an unfinished quality to the song, like it isn't quite the final production cut...the sound levels are off in a couple spots- something that the recording engineer should handle normally. It's a nice homage to us as fans and a thank you, I think, to do this song. I'm pleased with it...I'll give it a 7 out of 10. Hey, it's better than anything from "American Karaoke", Britney Spears, or any rapper..

"Till All Are One" is actually a remix of another song he sang...Ground Zero. Very chilling all the same.

ME: Heh...

When I first met my girlfriend 3 years ago, she asked me to play he some music I like... and she's into "serious" music like jazz and all that other stuff - basically no ass rock - hates it... but I think she was "touched" by the fact that I like The Touch...

Anyways - point is - I love ass rock - including Stan Bush - and have no compunctions about pushing it on my friends, relatives, girlfriend and everybody else who basically think I'm insane for it

Skids

The new "The Touch" has a WAY better drum track than the lackluster drum machine of the original.

Maybe I'm the only one here, But wasn't his voice 10 shades of FLAT for Dare at botcon???

Personally, this is my new favorite version of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD5sT73jGQc

Stan Bush, unplugged.

i like stan bush he is a good singer and song writer i just wish that he was big in the states asw2ell but to us transfans he is big here and that will never change. i like both of his songs and would love to hear a remake of dare hope he makes one.

till all are one.

Has anyone ever covered The Touch?? I would love to hear it done like black labs update of the movie theme.

Oh, damn, that "Till All Are One" track kicks tremendous amounts of ass.

At first when the song opened it sounded a bit....well lame...i much preffered the original but as soon as it started proper with the beat and guitar riffs it got better! I love it! WHY ISNT THIS IN THE MOVIE! DAMN YOU DREAMWORKS!

Lets hope this gets on the TF2 soundtrack. His voice doesnt sound as strong anymore, but he still has a great voice.

DANG!!!! That is a hot track! Til all are one is sooooo good! DIG IT!

I listened to that radio interview they had with him a few days ago, & Stan said it was politics & had to do with a deal with Warner Bros music & them just slapping a bunch of their popular artists & stuff on the soundtrack, but supposedly it was supposed to be in the movie(like BB playing a snipit through his radio or something) even though it got cut out for some reason. It might be in a deleted scene or something. Guess we'll find out when the DVD comes out.

At this point i am almost anticipating the dvd release more than the actual movie release as it isnt out here yet. Imagine all the cool bonus content the dvd will have, all those featurettes about how they did the cgi and stunts and stuff, not to mention the ability to watch the movie 10 times a day without having to go to a cinema and pay!

i think we all have the touch by now but i really like that remake of ground zero. I'll be getting this new album

Sounds like he really took/takes an intrest in transformers. And to give away too songs is a great gift, a thank you if you will. It doesn't seem like pure publicity. I get this from the things I read that have been poster here recently.

So seems like he is popular overseas. Where is located?

NK

they should have used those two songs in the movie

You do realise the song is a fanboy's ode to how amazingly wonderful and splendiferous Optimus Prime is, don't you?

I think that's what it wants to be.

Annnnnd that was you missing the point.

Maybe what the song was meant to be was "about the best in people". What it actually is, however, is an ode to Optimus Superpants.

Meh, thats just your opinion, same as mine, doesnt make it the truth though.

I like the song though, so do many others as its a part of their childhood and as cheesy as it is it makes some of us feel better when we hear it. So watch your step if you are going to bash it because you could have a big flame war on your hands if you do.

Oh dear god, you really don't get it, do you?

At what point did I bash the song? I love that song! I love that it's a fanboy's homage to the sheer levels of awesomeness that is Optimus Prime and his giant metal hands!

And you know what? I love Dare too. I love that it's the quintessential Hot Rod song. But hey, if you're really keen on having a big ol' flame war I'm sure I could at least pretend I don't like it?

Woah woah calm down before you blow a head gasket jeez. S'just the way you worded your posts it sounded like you was bashing the song thats all. I didnt know you liked it, and i wasnt inviting you into a flame war i was just warning you that if you bashed it alot of fanboys would be pee-oed.

Now can ya spit my head out now after your done biting it.

Didn't you know? Rocky is secretly a giant metal robot!

Really? That woulda been strange....

Almost right there. The song was originally suppose to be in the movie Cobra, but got dropped.
