This is Michael Mixerr. I will review Vallejo's Black Sky album which was supposed to be released in 2001, but was pushed to 2003. This has to be the most overlooked album done by Vallejo!
I'm about to give you a rundown of the history behind this story. This album was recorded from 2001 to 2002, but was not released until 2003. The labels Epic, Sony, Vallejo Music Group, and Vallejo had many different views on what direction the band should pursue in the changing times in the state of the music industry and the media news. Many of the songs on this album were inspired by the post 9/11 era. That's why this album shows a darker side of Vallejo. It was truly a trying time for the group.
The Stereo album was written in this time span as well. Sony and RED Distribution were supposed to be the distributors for the Stereo album in 2002. Which due to label politics and marketing, did not work out well. Vallejo was to import their album to Mexico, but instead Sony imported Stereo to Japan. That was against the Vallejo bands wishes causing them to depart with Sony. The band parted ways with Sony in January of 2002.
I rate this album, Black Sky, 5/5*****.
