Thanks for listening to Second Skin, everyone! I really hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed co-writing/recording it!! It’s such a pleasure for me to work with this talented group of musicians!!
I can't speak for everyone, but I would imagine that there are many, like me, who are blown away by what you guys have done. Truly a phenomenal work Joel! I certainly hope we are going to hear more from you guys in the future!
I'm almost 50..I grew up in the 80s..lots of great music back then but this album is one of the best 80s sounding albums I've ever heard. Totally Totally Awesome!! Great job guys.. ICONIC ROCKS. I love it
Whoa! I am only 3 songs into this album and all I can say is holy cow. I am so looking forward to lifting some heavy weights to these tunes. 💪 I feel like I’m 25 yrs old again hearing this album. Nicely done to everyone. Rock on!
Another title for this album could quite rightly be "Greater than the Sum of its Parts". Every musician here has nothing to prove but you wouldn't think it. Bombastic, rich, face melting music of the highest order delivered with passion, conviction and remarkable energy. Heartfelt thanks to Frontiers for making this possible.
Killer voice & vocal trade-offs. Wonderful harmonies, drums are insane, skillful arrangements, and solos are delightfully plentiful! It is new, yet familiar, and, at the same time surprises the listener, in a good way. All-star lineup all around!
Ordered!, and When I hear influences of Deep purple mach 3, or 87 whitesnake, bands and albums that have sold millions...Trust me it doesn't suck...You kids need to tour immediately!
Indeed! Significantly better than many of the "supergroup" projects that Frontiers puts out. Nice job with Iconic and Cleanbreak Frontiers, this is good stuff👍
I just lost my best friend this morning and I was in shock because I found him lifeless and the depression had me big time until I listened to this album. Thanks God. 😢
You need to listen to Joel's 2 albums Joel Hoekstra's 13. Both are this good. One has Russell Allen doing all the singing and the other has Russell doing half and Jeff Scott Soto doing the other half. Check em out.
When I first heard Nowhere To Run I thought wow, these guys just might pull of the best record any of us have heard in a long time. Then yesterday this hits the airwaves... and I'm blown away. I've lost count of how many times I've listened to All About... that chorus and notes that you guys hit gives me freakin' chills. Thank you guys... I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels like "we needed this!"
SECOND SKIN Is An Absolutely Awesome Spectacular Great Straight Up KickAss Rock N Roll Album By ICONIC And Totally Rocks It Needs To Be Fully Cranked Up All The Way To Full Maximum Volume.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
How am I just finding out about this album? This is an amazing album!! I hope you guys are touring would love to see this band soon! I just watched Tommy on Drumeo and heard him playing these tracks! First I have heard this. I’m an instant fan!! Love love love Tommy Aldridge and now all of you guys!
Awesome beats from Tommy, creative use of the double bass drums, the amazing rhythm gives the whole album a driving force & power for the bass, guitars & vocals to blend perfectly with. Total respect to all the exceptional musicians on this recording.
Tommy Aldridge is always been my number one go-to drummer and the most inspirational for me and I still play two bass drums and always will I've never owned a single bass drum kit and I'm 61 years old
I was waiting to listen to the entire album, although the videos I listened to, I knew I was about to listen to a great album, now it's just waiting for them to come and play in Argentina!! thanks for uploading it dude!!
Not my first time listening, this album is amazing. Not an expert in music so I don’t know how to judge it except for the fact that I just love the music

Nathan James and Michael Sweet... good LAWD, these are singer's singers! AND Marco, Joel, and Tommy?! This is a supergroup that is STACKED. Well done!

Wow. Just wow. Potential album of the year here.
Whoa! I am only 3 songs into this album and all I can say is holy cow. I am so looking forward to lifting some heavy weights to these tunes. 💪 I feel like I’m 25 yrs old again hearing this album. Nicely done to everyone. Rock on!
Joel is a SHREDDING MACHINE!!!!!!!
With feel. Sweet is a very good player ass well.
I think the guitar solos are split between Joel and Michael Sweet

Absolutely 2 great voices that work well together a lot of GrooVe in that band
Fantastic! This album has a classic 80's feel and sound but still sounds fresh. Hit after hit! Nathan and Michael make a great vocal pairing.
Holy moly amazing. The only problem with this album is its too short
Absolutely amazing. Michael Sweet Joel Hoekstra, Marco, Mr. Tommy Aldridge and Natan, that's properly named.
What a great band!!! Excellent songs great voices , amazing guitars!!!! Really ICONIC
A masterpiece. Classic 80s Hard Rock. Will be on my top 10 of 2022 🤘🍺
This is completely and utterly epic. Somehow they’ve managed to make it sound fresh. Magnificent!
Killer voice & vocal trade-offs. Wonderful harmonies, drums are insane, skillful arrangements, and solos are delightfully plentiful! It is new, yet familiar, and, at the same time surprises the listener, in a good way. All-star lineup all around!
Kudos to the sound engineer, this is mixed perfectly. Great musicianship guys.
Finaly!!!!!Finally!!!!!! It's out!!. Very Kick 80"s hard rock with a slight modern field!! Very well produced!!!
Ordered!, and When I hear influences of Deep purple mach 3, or 87 whitesnake, bands and albums that have sold millions...Trust me it doesn't suck...You kids need to tour immediately!

Loving the stream of this album. Going to have grab a physical copy!
Holy shit! This is AMAZING! When you tour, count me in for buying tix.
Fabulous album. Is it just me that thinks Michael Sweet sounds like Dennis De Young from Styx? Great job to all especially you Nathan. Nailed it 👌
The Dennis deYoung thing has been around since 1983
@@fromalongtimeago Really? Wow..I Don't think I've ever heard Mr. Sweet before..
@Krystal Alpha McCloud Yeah I know Stryper but don't think I've ever heard them
I need this on vinyl asap!
Lol
This Album is King! #SlackerApproved 6/16/2022
Absolutely brilliant! 👏
It's a hit!!!
Very impressive album,has a few influencee of Whitesnake all over it,could be a contender for 2022 best release in my opinion.
THIS... is AWESOME!
Your music sounds so awesome!
Sorry, but I'm not going to listen to this as I've ordered the CD and hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow. Therefore I don't want to spoil the fun! 👍
I do that too!
Really good stuff, thanks for the free listen. Just pre-ordered on itunes to add to my rock library. :)
Frontiers need to press more copies on vinyl. They did one short run and they sold out in no time. Love this album and need it in my collection.
I was waiting to listen to the entire album, although the videos I listened to, I knew I was about to listen to a great album, now it's just waiting for them to come and play in Argentina!! thanks for uploading it dude!!
Been waiting for this one and the wait has definitely been worth it! Well done!
Michael Sweet!!!?
