To the owner of this channel, please add the link to pre-order/save the album to your video description: orcd.co/winger It would be appreciated by the label (us) and the band if you could do that. Please also pin this comment for people to see the link too, if you could!
The Extreme album is already better than this thing and we only have 3 songs so far. Huge Winger fan since the beginning (‘88), disappointed but not surprised by this meh
Winger has always been a "progressive" style band. Thats what set them apart from the other hair bands. Everyone keeps saying "oh they're so progressive now" but all i hear is classic Winger
I think pull was their best album in the 80s/90s era.i like their whole catalogue but I favor pull the most.such a shame it didn't get the attention it so deserved
Good to see all original Winger members back together to kick this new album. This band still has all the MAGIC it always had. Great sounding and fresh lyrics 2 thumbs up!
Great to have Winger back. I really like the sound. They have kept true to themselves and they know what the fans want. Congrats guys. Can’t wait for it.
We have a legend here right now. I know time will forever have this Music from WINGER in 2075,,,......,,,! The voice of Kip is still as clear as it was in 1980 , maybe something like that? Brothers Kip, Nate, and Paul Winger made a stage appearance that is said in a mall at the time of 1980- 81.. It would be the start of WINGER... I am a huge MEGADETH fan and have love heavy thrash to the Iconic legend that is DIO.. As a massive metal fan, WINGER is one of the iconic bands of the 80's 90's and now to hear Kip sounding like no time has passed with his voice and writing this new Album is more than epic , it is AWESOME.............................. I am happy to have this , Thank you Winger!
WOW is this SOLID sounding stuff - amazing how a legacy band like Winger can keep putting out quality musicianship AND catchy music to go with it - THANKS GUYS !!!!!!
Yeeaaaaa new Winger !!! I'm in I don't see Any 🇨🇦🇨🇦 dates last time they came to Windsor which is quite a drive for me I saw Winger 3 times back in the hay day top notch tightassed band !!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟 I remember looking forward to the pull tour but I think they disappeared
Songwriting is still top notch; melodies are refined, playing is amazing; Kip is ...well... still Kip!! What more can we ask for?! STREET DATE!!! QUICK!! ;-)
Seems like a lot of people on here haven’t listened to Winger since the the second album.. you’ve missed out big time. Pull is so good! Should have been the album that separated them from the pack. The songwriting has gotten so much better with time. This album sounds absolutely amazing! Can’t wait till May 5th to hear the whole thing.
WOW! Amazing voice(s), amazing musicians, and this appears to be another *_"Winner from Winger"_* Thanks so much for posting this - vinyl preorder is about to get placed!
Mike's voice cannot hope to hit classic White Lion. He has admitted as much. It's unfortunate, but not every singer can keep his pipes forever. Besides, Vito is still AWOL from rock music, James and Greg were fired thirty years ago so I don't think they're chomping at the bit to race back onstage with Mike. Last time Mike sounded close to classic White Lion was about fifteen years back.
Hard to get a feel for the album from snippets. Right now I'm thinking this may fall somewhere between Karma and Better Days Coming. Karma, IMO, is a hard rock classic. Better Days Coming was something of a disappointment. Winger have to up their game if they're going to take the Melodic Rock champions crown from Treat, who have released 4 back to back bangers since 2010. If you haven't heard Treat recently, try this: m.ua-cam.com/video/aIzK_8ecYOs/v-deo.html
Who cares if he or isn’t, as long as the music falls in line with what Winger has done in the past? Good call on Up From the Ashes, what a solid album that is
okay that alternate desperado sucks. yea i am saying it. but alas the rest sounds really good and i am glad cause i ordered this and even the woman was like wow that sounds pretty good. so i am happy.
As a DIEHARD Winger fan of their entire catalog... and a fan who loves IV as much as any of their stuff... this sounds like a bunch of songs that were (for good reason) left off of past albums... super disappointed
Been a Winger fan since the beginning. They're in my Top 8 bands-all-time. I'm not optimistic for this one but hopefully it's better than IV or Better Days, their two worst albums by far.
@@smoothtalkerguitarsuk4431 Between dialysis, sleep, and slamming at work, honestly I have not had time to listen to it yet. It’s still on my to do list, though. Hopefully sometime before the new Extreme album hits, lol (my second favorite band all-time, behind Queen).
@@smoothtalkerguitarsuk4431 ok, so. I gave it a listen though last night. First impressions: meh. Better than IV and Better Days Comin’ but that’s not saying much. Very generic. Nothing stood out to me thefirst run through. Will try to give it a second listen in a week or two to see if my opinion changes, but first impressions I am not impressed at all, and Winger has been a Top 6 band for me since their first album back in ‘88. Hoped for better, but not surprised at all by this. The new Extreme album is already better than this and we only have 3 songs from it so far.
@@chadculotta8278 Odd - the comments on here have been pretty hot. Perhaps you are stuck in time? Possible. What I mean is you have a certain sound / song type that you would like them to do but they haven't...
Pull, and the 2014 album were better than this. Kip does sound like he expanded his vocal limits here...but this isn't as strong as I was hoping for. Maybe this will grow on me? I was expecting more riffage chugga chugga chugga....head bobbing/thrashing.
@@SKRooU2 wow, seems like a very juvenile comment from a winger fan. I would expect more. The mix sounds very muddy and many of the chorus are missing something. Especially as compared to other winger albums. I’m curious to know if something has changed in their writing style, Which has typically been Reb and Kip. Maybe once I hear the album as a whole. I’m not saying is the most horrible thing I’ve ever heard, I’m just saying as compared to their other albums to me it’s just doesn’t rank up there like they do.
@@grantvandijk that may be but when you listen to the first 3 cds and then everything after them there really is no comparison. I admit all bands must progress but lyrics aside, most of this comes off and angry and aggressive. Some like it, some don’t. The slow song snippet sounds promising but that’s it for me.
@@grantvandijk I guess that depends on the listener. I much prefer the structure of the first 3 cds and deal with the devil. I just have a very hard time finding any of that off better days and from the snippets of seven. While I don’t expect can’t get enuff 2 it would be nice to have something to satisfy the audience that supported the first 3 cds. But again that depends on the listener. I’m sure a lot like it and that’s great.
@@scotthutchison6575 Yeah I think that to expect the same sort of stuff years and years later after the world has changed plus the writing has changed... well that would be like expecting U2 to still not having found what they were looking for. It wasn't that it didn't turn you on that caught my eye, it was the HARD PASS as if you were putting up the middle finger cause they werent doing melodies and sounds and lyrics from 20-30 years ago. Would you be if you were a writer? Doing the same stuff after a life time of experiences? To me it just seems weird, especially since 95% of the comments were complimentary. Seems grouchy to me.
Too much of a progressive metal sound from Winger these days. What happened to the harmonic pop metal songs about love and life that made me a Winger fan back in the day? 😕
It definitely has some heavier more modern songs but the ballads and huge chorus and Melodie’s are still there Songs like resurrect me , it all come back Stick the knife all sound like classic winger
@Mike Davis Since then they’ve been trying to out-Metallica Metallica. But, we already know they can play Metallica blindfolded and one hand tied. I demand that Winger give me the shiny prog hard rock of their first two albums, instead of trying to appease truck drivers of upstate NY or something with this passé Metallica-style caveman rock.
After listening to this album once and reading the reviews, am I confused. Did everyone else listen to a different album than me? This entire thing was meh at best. Sure, it’s better than Better Days Comin’ and IV but damn that ain’t saying much. Not even close to their top their stuff. Huge fan from the beginning (‘88), really hoped it would be stellar even though I knew better. Very disappointed, even though I 100% expected this exact result.
Chad when you are an artist, you keep moving... Had they been a supermarket selling Coca Cola - yeah sure - they would just keep selling that same Coca Cola for 35 years. They aren't, things change. Move on... And the immortal words of Chad Ramirez - Sounds fuckin killer!!!
@@chadculotta8278 I bow down to your obviously superior knowledge - you seem to know a lot more than the bulk of the fans. I am guessing you are a producer? Or just a fan like everyone else. If you are just a fan... who needs you... climb back into your little hovel... maybe read a book on how things progress...
@@smoothtalkerguitarsuk4431 dude, listen to, say, Karma. Driving guitars. Infectious tunes. Vastly superior. Like what you want. Lots of people like the Smiths and Echo and the Bunnymen, and they are straight up pure garbage. Like my grandpa always says “if everyone liked the same thing, everyone would climb on top your grandma.”
@@chadculotta8278 So, you feel saying something nasty is better than saying nothing? Boy your Grandpa must be so proud of you! Oh by the way - read some books - maybe that will help you grow up.

Yes ✔
Genius always push the limit to new horizon, new experience and Kip Winger and his band Winger are definitely genius of the music
This one and Extreme's new CD is this year's highlight.
The Extreme album is already better than this thing and we only have 3 songs so far. Huge Winger fan since the beginning (‘88), disappointed but not surprised by this meh
Winger has always been a "progressive" style band. Thats what set them apart from the other hair bands. Everyone keeps saying "oh they're so progressive now" but all i hear is classic Winger
It's got a good sound a mix of the classic winger sound with a new element
Winger is a winner, sounds great to me🤘🎸⚡️💥
WINGER ALWAYS HAD IT!! B&B could kiss me between the back pants pockets!! Thanks San Lima!😊
Amazing! Sounds like a mix between Pull, IV and Karma. Definitely one of the best of 2023 for sure.
I think pull was their best album in the 80s/90s era.i like their whole catalogue but I favor pull the most.such a shame it didn't get the attention it so deserved
@@pauladeitch3739 Same for me. Pull is their greatest album and one of the greatest albums of my life. 10/10.
should be better a mix between 1 and 2 albums
Reb is one of the best guitarists out there! This is such a tease! Just put it out there already Winger!
Good to see all original Winger members back together to kick this new album.
This band still has all the MAGIC it always had. Great sounding and fresh lyrics 2 thumbs up!
Winger is really kicking some ass I love the music 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵 I'm hearing so far from winger
Kip's voice is better than ever! This album gonna hit hard
Wow! Excellent stuff. Kip's vocals and song writing never fails. Rebs guitar is always amazing!
This is gonna be a rockin year for sure…
Love Winger. Great Band, and I am looking forward to grabbing this one! Rock on guys!! And keep bringing us the good stuff! Man - this sounds great.
Great to have Winger back. I really like the sound. They have kept true to themselves and they know what the fans want. Congrats guys. Can’t wait for it.

They just keep getting better
Sounds like a great batch of solid songs! Can’t wait!
We have a legend here right now.
I know time will forever have this Music from WINGER in 2075,,,......,,,!
The voice of Kip is still as clear as it was in 1980 , maybe something like that?
Brothers Kip, Nate, and Paul Winger made a stage appearance that is said in a mall at the time of 1980- 81.. It would be the start of WINGER...
I am a huge MEGADETH fan and have love heavy thrash to the Iconic legend that is DIO..
As a massive metal fan, WINGER is one of the iconic bands of the 80's 90's and now to hear Kip sounding like no time has passed with his voice and writing this new Album is more than epic , it is AWESOME..............................
I am happy to have this , Thank you Winger!
From ashes to beauty. Amen

KIP? Holly shit! KIP?!
Yeeaaaaa new Winger !!! I'm in I don't see Any 🇨🇦🇨🇦 dates last time they came to Windsor which is quite a drive for me I saw Winger 3 times back in the hay day top notch tightassed band !!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟
I remember looking forward to the pull tour but I think they disappeared
Never disappointed! Great from front to back! Reb shows off some serious chops!
I love what I am hearing so far. Sounds great!
Great!!! As always... Thanks Winger; you are amazing!!!
Really looking forward to this one!
Songwriting is still top notch; melodies are refined, playing is amazing; Kip is ...well... still Kip!! What more can we ask for?! STREET DATE!!! QUICK!! ;-)
this year we´ll be able to listen to Extreme´s "Six" and Winger´s "Seven"
un bon son heavy comme on aime

Pull is a great album they are great musicians
All these tracks sounds excellent! I put my pre-order in a couple days ago. Can't wait to get it!
Sounds fuckin killer!!!
Wow...this.....is "BACK IN BUSINESS WINGER", yiasss...
More heavier 🤟 than, nothing else matters
Awesome samples. This is a winner
Amazing music. Thank you Kip!
This is absolutely 💯 amazing well done 👏 love it
WOW! Amazing voice(s), amazing musicians, and this appears to be another *_"Winner from Winger"_*
Thanks so much for posting this - vinyl preorder is about to get placed!
Wow, doesnt expect the last track Proud Desperado in acoustic/orchestra genre
They still sound great.
Extreme is releasing Six, Winger with Seven, now we need White lion with anything!
White Lion is done.
Mike's voice cannot hope to hit classic White Lion. He has admitted as much. It's unfortunate, but not every singer can keep his pipes forever. Besides, Vito is still AWOL from rock music, James and Greg were fired thirty years ago so I don't think they're chomping at the bit to race back onstage with Mike.

Thanks
Man, this album sounds fantastic!
Nicee!! Thanks
Wow, this one is good
Thank you for sharing San.
My pleasure
AWESOME!
Great album, every track sound terrific. Much better than Better days and in the same league as Karma.
❤
Love it!
METAL FOREVER
Amazing! Anything in line with Pull,4 and Karma is welcome this sounds great. I wasn’t as big a fan of better days.
Wow! I hate to speak too early, so I will choose my words wisely. But do we have a contender for the top spot with Pull?? Can’t wait
Sounds great, reminds me of their album "I.V", I like Winger when they sound more progressive.
so looking forward to this :)
Life songs....love it
Was hoping for something similar to Karma…sounds a little progressive for me…give me the catchy rock songs and killer Reb solo’s!
Love Reb's solos!
Hostiap*ta com sona!!!! Moltes ganes d tenir-lo ja!!!!🤘🏼
❤🎉
Looking forward to this one!!!! #deckermusic6 was here!!!!!! ❤️🤘
Nice
Pull II. Magic stuff
EXCELLENT!!
Always deliver!!
I'm waiting for the reissues of IV, Karma and Better Days Comin!
How did you get these samples?
The 'It's Okay' track gives me a very strong Bon Jovi vibe.
The living on a prayer effect.
Too cool!!😂
i perfer their 80s sound...they seem to go in a different direction...but the guitars are still solid!!!
Exactly what I said
Sounds heavy 4 GLAM metal band
Not Bad ,but honestly ,after i saw the Logo from the first 2 Albums ,i expected more Melodic Stuff
How did you get this?
Hard to get a feel for the album from snippets. Right now I'm thinking this may fall somewhere between Karma and Better Days Coming. Karma, IMO, is a hard rock classic. Better Days Coming was something of a disappointment.

Not sure that advertising another band with a link, is cool dude... sketchy
Release date?
May 5th
I only got the 1st 2 winger albums . this sounds; so so.
Give their 3rd album 'PULL' a listen. Its there best album... In my opinon.
@@SamanthaMunitz Pull está bueno pero demasiadas guitarras acústicas😒 me quedo con el primer álbum 💪
I am angry about Phoenix logo but I really hope that Kip is not freemasonic. The sound bombastic. This job will be album of the year..
I certainly hope not ,but then Don Dokkens up from the ashes had the phoenix too🙈😉
Who cares if he or isn’t, as long as the music falls in line with what Winger has done in the past? Good call on Up From the Ashes, what a solid album that is
I don’t know about this melancholy-angry-rock mode Winger has been operating on. What happened to high-energy rock’n’roll?
Ask them to do an album just for you and exactly how you want it... :)
Is it just me or are the vocals too much out front? Kip sounds great, but he sounds so far out in front of the rest.
Try listening with a good set of headphones
okay that alternate desperado sucks. yea i am saying it.
but alas the rest sounds really good and i am glad cause i ordered this and even the woman was like wow that sounds pretty good. so i am happy.

Sound Is modern im very dissapoint
Verstehe die ganzen positiven Bewertungen nicht .. die Scheibe geht mir gar nicht rein .. sperrig und langweilig .. sorry
Maybe you are more of a Dicke Titten kind of guy!

Very true.

True
They clearly are trying to channel Pull as a sound more than the first two records
