[Nightrain]

Love some tracks in the debut, love to hear this new album

[All Nights Reserved]

Not really into AOR anymore but this is a nice tune.

[Jez]

Their first album was a West Coast/ AOR dream and one of the best of that style in recent years. Bring it one

I know the band name and feel like I heard the debut, but I can't think of it at all. Anyway, absolutely love this song and will definitely check out the new disc (and the old one?)

Can't really say I was knocked out by the debut but this is a good tune. Will be intrested to hear the whole thing.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Shit. Add it.

[DeLaCruz]

just finished my 3rd spin in a row, very enjoyable album!! a little more even sounding than the debut, can't wait to add this to the in-car playlist

[Glen]

That track sounds like WoA.

[melodicrockoz]

Totally missed the debut, now I need to get it asap This newy is pretty cool sounding

[Nightrain]

That track sounds like WoA.

 

Amelia did sound like WoA but the rest is different. I guess this one's a little bit more AOR than westcoast like the debut. Overall I think it's more consistent and enjoyable than the first. I gave it 82% after one spin, great album !

[Kim_Hp]

Killer stuff, IMO this is another case of a band (like Houston) releasing an average debut and then coming back with a masterpiece for 2nd album.
Needless to say, I'm proud to be a swede as it seems most quality acts in the genre nowdays comes from here..

[Jez]

2 words 'Absolute Cracker'...All AOR/ West Coasties...go buy now!!

[Glen]

Its a really nice sounding album. Im not keen on the female sung numbers but there are 4 or 5 gems on here. A couple of cheesy moments too.

 

Its a goodie though

She has a really strong voice and, as with the debut, I like the way they share the lead vocalists throughout the album. Really liked the debut, absolutely love this one.

[DeLaCruz]

Been meaning to ask this for a while now, a song off this came on my mp3 this morning and the guy's voice reminded me of someone else: does anybody hear just A LITTLE bit of klaus meine at times? Like if he didn't have the accent?

This one's a bit of a mixed bag for me. Basically, the first 4 songs tell the story of the entire CD:

 

Amelia - very good melodic rock / AOR opener

Catch Me If You Can - plods along with no purpose at all

Brighter After Dark - another good, slick piece of AOR

Fool For Your Love - bland ballad

And that's how the album goes. Every time they lift you up you're brought back down by a weak song. I do like half of this CD - it's very good. But then there's the other half I don't like. Good effort on the good songs.
