My
expectations to this album with guitar wizard Akira Kajiyama and singer Joe
Lynn Turner wasn’t very high but I was in for nice surprise.
I threw it in my CD-player and already after 3 songs I was hooked.
We
are talking first class hook
laden, catchy Melodic Rock and Hard Rock with soaring choruses and excellent songs in the same vein as Rainbow and
Deep Purple. Take a listen to catchy tracks like, “Fire Without
Flame”, “One Day Away” or “Forever Changed” that is very,
very close to the music Rainbow released on their album “Bent
out of shape”, and you know what I Mean. Akira
Kajiyama and
Joe Lynn Turner can
Rock Hard as well…
Out
of the 11 tracks there is to be found on this great release 4 of
them are Hard Rocking up tempo songs that is dripping with
melodies and hooks straight from the hip.
Akira
Kajiyama’s
guitar playing is top notch and Joe
Lynn Turner soar through each track with a classy, professional ease that is much missing these
days, and it goes without saying the choruses are punchy and
massive.
It’s hard to fault anything about this album. Honestly this is a
complete joy to listen to so put on the headphones and rock on!
