Lucky Number Thirteen: Harem Scarem’s Comeback Album (MICP-11185)
Today’s entry spotlights the triumphant return of Canadian melodic rock legends Harem Scarem with their appropriately titled studio album, “Thirteen.” We are looking at the 2014 Japanese pressing released on the Avalon label (Marquee Inc.) with the catalog number MICP-11185. This copy comes complete with its original obi strip.
Released on November 19, 2014, this album marked a significant moment for fans. It was their first album of all-new original material in six years, following their 2008 album “Hope” and a period of hiatus. Fueled by the energy of their reunion and the “Mood Swings II” tour, the band returned to the studio to deliver exactly what their followers had been waiting for.
“Thirteen” is celebrated for featuring the signature “Harem Scarem sound” through and through. It offers high-quality, catchy hard pop and melodic rock. The album kicks off with the medium-tempo “Garden Of Eden,” featuring Pete Lesperance’s always-tasteful guitar work. Other highlights include the rare bluesy rocker “Live It,” the new anthem “The Midnight Hours,” and the emotional ballad “Whatever It Takes,” which fans often cite as a knockout track that solidifies the album’s quality.
As is standard for Marquee/Avalon releases, this Japanese edition offers exclusive value to collectors. It includes an acoustic version of “The Midnight Hours” as a bonus 11th track, providing an intimate take on one of the album’s standout cuts. MICP-11185 is an essential release for melodic rock enthusiasts, capturing a veteran band with their songwriting skills fully intact.
