I’ve
always had a weak spot for female vocals in Hard Rock, just as I’ve
had a very hard time comprehending the new styles in Hard Rock. So this
album puts me in a dilemma!
My
first hand impression tells me that this is a good and well-produced
slap of melodic (modern) Hard Rock with guitars upfront but the rather
MTV friendly melodies and the very modern way of singing turns me off a
bit.
This
band reminds me of Danish rockers MAGNUM 44 and I don’t really know
where these bands find their inspiration but it sure isn’t from the
same music that I own. :-)
DACIA
sounds very keen on breaking down the barriers and would probably be a
very good live band but here on this disc I seriously miss standout
tracks. I’d have preferred a more commercial edge since the vocals
seem rather diverse and could, arguably, impress a large number of
people.
If
post2000 Hard Rock is your thing (loud guitars, in-your-face attitude,
raw vocals etc.) then you ought to try this one on for size!
It’s
some of the better material I’ve heard from these modern bands :-)
