Heart management has confirmed it to be the title!
Meanwhile, Heart just completed work on an upcoming album. Red Velvet Car was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Vancouver’s Ben Mink. Wilson says most of the disc’s 10 tunes are “really hard rock or uptempo.” More from this interview with Ann Wilson
Heart just finished making a new record which, according to Ann, is something their long-time fans and newer listeners will appreciate. The 10-song album has seven up-tempo, rock-heavy tunes, and three ballads. More from this other interview with Ann Wilson (link is dead)

Thanx to Seattleboy and google!
maybe it’s just wishful thinking but because A & N mentioned this album will have lots of personal influences from their growing up/family that maybe this CD will encompass partly what the original Magazine was to be with the bells & whistles…I bet this CD will have accompany DVD of some of the performances…it’s just a feeling I have! :)
Well, after listening to Jupiter’s Darling, aside from a few songs..it sucks. As a long time Heart fan, who has not been thirlled with their attitudes and set list (NO BALLS, same songs…not nearly enough 80’s songs)..I am almost afraid to listen to it. Let’s not even get into Ann’s HORRIBLE solo album. WAKE UP GIRLS!!!! Play more 80’s songs live and some different 70’s songs. Co’mon how many tours in a row without Mistral Wind. All of this made drop out of their Fan Club and they really have to prove something for me to spend another $100 on ONE ticket. Just because they grew up worshiping Led Zep does not mena they had to become a Led Zep cover band. Not everyone loves Led Zep (I don’t). However, I love Heart but when I pay to see Heart I want to hear HEART SONGS. The 80’s SAVED their career, reward the fans for it by playing the songs that made you relevant again.
Heart WAS in my top five bands, but KISS will always be 1 because they CARE. Paul Stanley always says, “If you paid your hard earned money and a band does not give you what you deserve..call us.” Well, we’ll see if Heart can squeeze $100 let alone $15 ouit of my pocket.
WAKE UP GIRLS!!!! It sucks to write this.
It must indeed suck to open your rant with telling their album mainly sucked. Their setlist is well balanced these last years. They want to do it their way and if that means playing smaller venues because “fans” like you won’t come… so be it.
So you want people to be yes men for Ann and Nancy? If you don’t like the album just love it anyway? I think Craig Bartok is a sloppy guitarist and haven’t liked anything they have done since DWO. I listened to RVC today pre-release and to me every single song is a stinker. It is Jupiter’s Darling part 2 or “The Lovemongers” with electric guitars. They sound bored and tired on the entire thing. Ben Mink really made it worse because under sound analysis he once again mastered the tracks with horrible clipping just like he did with Ann’s solo album.
Yep you keep wishing the fans away TDHS and the rest of the “Heartmongers”. Pretty soon Heart will have to pay fans to listen to their music in the future. If fans don’t like the music for some reason it is wise to know why from a business standpoint.
I’m not gonna answer your questions as you and I both know the answers.
Your opinion of RVC is interesting though. The album can’t please everyone, but after having read your opinion, I’m sure that anything they’d put out would be classified a stinker by you. For the simple reason that you hate A&N, no matter what they do. I’m not only wishing you away, I’m practically advising you to stay away from the shows, their music and the websites. Why go through the pain? Why listen to their album and go to the trouble of posting your hatred here? You know what: don’t. Heart doesn’t need your business and I don’t need anyone’s business on this fansite.
Why would I hate Ann and Nancy? That is absurd. Just because I don’t like RVC, Jupiter’s Darling, or Private Audition doesn’t mean I hate the artist or the person. Please take your schizophrenic meds lol. I’ve met Ann a few times and she seemed like a nice lady. Go the Headwise forums and look under worst album clipping. Jupiter’s Darling was an extreme example of what not to do on post production.
You don’t like the album don’t come see Heart. This is exactly what comes from a few of the Heartmongers that go through this uber protective mode and chased away half their fanbase thinking they are protecting Ann and Nancy. Instead you are blocking fans that may not be as crazed as you appear to be.
I honestly think you must hate Ann & Nancy when you say every song on their new album is a stinker and they sound bored and tired. Tell it to their face and we’ll talk again.
If pointing out your hateful words and giving you advice is suddenly being uber protective, than you have some screwed up values on what is civilized behavior and what is not. A&N don’t need protecting anyway. Every song a stinker… tsssk… saying I need meds…. calling me crazy…. that’s insulting to me and inconsiderate to people close to me. You could use some new manners.
I’m not blocking fans: as a matter of fact I’m helping with bringing Heart to the fans. Takes a lot of effort. However; if people don’t appreciate what I’m bringing, I’d rather have those people stay away from my site. Or at least stop using it for insults. They… YOU… take away from the fun I’m having. No need to apologize. You were probably raised this way.
To my ears it is a stinker and Jupiter’s Darling Part 2. If people don’t like JD they probably won’t like this either. I don’t hate Ann and Nancy again that is absurd and you are becoming extremely irrational. The album to me does sound like they were bored and tired.
This still doesn’t mean I “hate” Ann and Nancy as I have all their albums even the ones I don’t really care all that much to listen to. They haven’t personally bit me or anything.
Right you are helping spread the word. The above poster said he/she didn’t care much for JD and you basically said don’t come see them
“They want to do it their way and if that means playing smaller venues because “fans” like you won’t come… so be it.”
This taken from your own words. Right love every single thing they have done over the years or you are not a super fan like I. The elitist few Heartmongers that chase members from their fanbase over and over for the last 15 years.
You are still saying I hate A and N and that is irrational and weird to me. If A and N asked how I liked the album I would be honest and tell them it does not appeal to me and go song by song and let them know what I as a fan do not like. Of course they can put out whatever they want.
My top Heart albums are Dreamboat Annie, DWO, LQ, Brigade in that order.
What I don’t like are Private Audition, JD, RVC, Lovemongers Stuff (Depends if one calls the Lovemongers Heart) Solo album
They’ve actually done quite well because they have put out a lot of albums that appeals to me as a fan and not many bands do that. But, right I am not fan enough lol. Keep on friend I hate what I like lol. A lot of the problems I have with JD and RVC is that I do not like the post production clipping or Bartok’s guitar style. The songs at the base are good but, gets drowned out by production clipping and buried under Bartok’s terrible guitar playing.
As you haven’t said anything new that matters and repeat your point, I won’t bother either. Please refer to my earlier replies to know where I stand.
