I’m not overtly familiar with Jeff Scott Soto and his music, and the few songs I’ve heard with him is not my cup of tea. So you can imagine that I wasn’t exactly thrilled when I received this album for review.
Well... to my surprise the re-release of ‘Lost in the Translation’ turned out to be solid and well executed Rock album in my book. However it's kind of funny, because even though most of the tracks contain one catchy riff after another and very radio orientated and memorable choruses the CD never really ignites.
If I listen to one or two tracks and then press stop, I really enjoy what JSS has to offer, but when I listen to the whole CD from start to finish I suddenly feel kind of bored. Weird, right?
Jeff Scott Soto and the musicians are all doing a great job in my humble opinion and the production is top notch so check ‘Lost in the Translation’ out and be your own judge.
Solid but not essential.
