lol. Funnily enough, that video pretty much sums up this entire album. That drummer is so hair metal. 

Anyway, what I mean by that statement is that this is almost really good. It seriously is. There's some very good, well written melodic rock hooks and choruses on this album. It really surprised me, but there's a heap of potential here. 

Issues being that the dude obviously has a pretty strong accent, which is okay. I wouldn't say his voice is great, but good luck to him. Production and the mix leaves quite a bit to be desired too, which is a bummer. But there's definitely worse things that you could do than giving this a fair go. It surprised me, and there's actually quite a few songs on here that will feature on my 2024 playlist. 

This is my favourite song on the album. As you'll hear, it's kind of lacking in a few elements, but it is essentially pretty delicious AOR;
