Hotshot - S/T
Released in 2005, but it takes me right back to the 80's...correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe most songs were recorded back then as well. The first comparision that comes to mind is Danger Danger. On first listen, i find that the album is divided into 2 parts...the first half, till track 9 is more hard-rock oriented with a couple of very good ballads thrown in, while track 9 onwards it mainly consists of mid-tempo numbers which would almost classify as heavy ballads. i would have preferred a hard rock approach throughout, but i do like a couple of those mid-tempos already, so i'm hoping that the others will grow on me with further listens. My favourites on first listen are : "Love By The Numbers", "Too Much Is Never Enough" and "Bring On The Night". This'll be getting a lot more spins in the coming days, i'm sure.
