It started out where I was just going to have a couple of guest appearances on it, then I decided that it would be really interesting to bring in different players for every song. I started putting names out there and reaching out to people, and they started agreeing to do it. And then I had guys reaching out to me.\"\r\n\r\nRegarding the musical direction of the album Michael states, \"I'm very excited about this release, there are old-school, straight-ahead metal ideas in the vein of Judas Priest, Dio and Iron Maiden, all the stuff I love listening to!\" \r\n\r\nAs for the \"Ten\" album title, Sweet recently stated, \"It's called 'Ten' cause it's my tenth album, and because there is a title track on there about the Ten Commandments - a really powerful song. There's real heavy stuff. It starts kind of smacking you in the face and it ends kicking you in the gut.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter Part of Me (Featuring Jeff Loomis of Arch Enemy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lay It Down (Featuring Marzi Montazeri)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Forget Forgive (Featuring Howie Simon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Now or Never (Featuring Gus G of Firewind)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ten Featuring (Rich Ward of Fozzy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shine (Featuring Ethan Brosh)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let It Be Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Never Alone (Featuring Joel Hoekstra of Whitesnake)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When Love Is Hated (Featuring Joel Hoekstra of Whitesnake)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ricochet (Featuring Tracii Guns of la Guns)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e With You Till the End (Featuring Mike Kerr and Ian Raposa from Firstbourne)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Son of Man (Featuring Todd la Torre of Queensryche and Andy James)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50400814727442,"sku":"638647809726","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/3715619-2506201.jpg?v=1729117670","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/michael-sweet-ten-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
