Not
so sure what's so essential about this album? This is a fine collection
of the ballads from Jeff Scott Soto's 3 solo-albums - "Love
Parade", "Prism" & "Lost in the
Translation" - as well as 3 new, previous unreleased tracks.
This
is the kind of album you can put on on an evening where you invite over
the girlfriend, light some candles cook a nice meal and open a bottle of
wine - and she won't hate or even notice the music. But if you are
looking let out some steam, then this isn't the album you'll put on.
Really
not that exciting, sure Jeff Scott Soto belongs among the best hard rock
vocalists around, and he proves just that on this album - but who does
need a 16 tracks collection of ballads? Not me, and I am sure this album
won't be visiting my CD-player very often...
