Yeah the talent is clearly there..when they go full melodic its really good... they most know this though..the three singles releases thus far are the more commercial Melodic rock material and probably best three tracks on disc...but they move away from it a lot...the singer is very good...when he sings..the screaming isnt my thing and I think he just oversings a lot...but its still a decent listen...but between this and the previous release I only get about 6 or 7 tunes that I dig....Guitarist sounds great btw

Dark Heart - s/t Snakeryder - D.O.A Degreed - Are You Ready City Of Lights - Before The Sun Sets Girish And The Chronicles - Hail To The Heroes Beggars & Thieves - s/t (Bad Rep Remaster) Pretty Maids - Scream Lazarus Dream - Alive

Of those on offer Ten...fav by them followed by AdrianGale

Big leppard fan..and I listen a lot to Euphoria but they'd lost the IT factor by this time... so Steelhouse Lane by a mile followed by a decent Pretty Maids cd

Steelhouse Lane followed by Big Bad Wolf & Charade...that Shakra cd wasnt bad but nowhere near the best of that year

From Cherry Red Records...4CD First four albums from Glasgow’s Strangeways who took their musical cues from across the pond, making melodic AOR style-rock inspired by bands such as Loverboy, Foreigner, Night Ranger and Journey. Covering their output from 1985 to 1994 with a host of bonus tracks, live and demos. Formed in 1985 by brothers Ian Stewart (guitar) and David Stewart (bass), joined by Jim Drummond (drums) and singer Tony Liddell, they released their critically-acclaimed self-titled debut album in 1985. Produced by Kevin Elson ( Lynyrd Skynyrd, Journey and Mr Big), they were championed by Kerrang! whose rave review reckoned that, “‘Breakin’ Down The Barriers’ has American Number One hit single written all over its baby face,” assuring us that, “This band still possess that unmistakably British flavour… I predict a big success.” And if that wasn’t enough, it confidently proclaimed that it was, “the greatest and most preciously perfect AOR album of all time”. American Terry Brock replaced Tony Liddell as vocalist, joining Dave Munch Moore on keyboards for the John Punter-produced ‘Native Sons’ in 1987, arguably their greatest commercial success. The same line-up released the third album ‘Walk In Fire’ in 1989. Featuring the single ‘Every Time You Cry’, the album was co-produced by guitarist Ian Stewart with John Lee and mixed by Mike Shipley ( Whitesnake, The Cars, Def Leppard). The story on this collection ends with fourth album, ‘And The Horse’, from 1994, by which time guitarist Ian Stewart had also taken on lead vocal duties.
