In Stark Contrast To Death Magnetic, Evidence One Is An Amaz

"Evidence One is a superb band from across the pond. "The Sky Is The Limit" has consistantly been in my CD rotation ever since I heard that first magnetic riff. The title track kicks the door wide open with a heavy guitar riff reminiscent of Accept's "Balls To The Wall". It sounds like a heavy bull, hellbent, and hopped-up on 20 Red Bulls ready to run the listener over! The album's second offering, "Mr. Madness" serves up tons of nice and punchy hooks blazing along with ultra-melodic guitar interludes. Interspersed along other fine ditties are well constructed power ballads that don't reek of cheese.

"The Sky Is The Limit" carries along the fine tradition of mid-years Accept with modern production, class, and a sense purpose. Every track on this album has a winning combination of thoughtful lyrics, well-honed instrumental melodic/heavy chops, and imaginative hooks. Not one note is wasted. Evidence One is an under-rated band of majestic quality. This should not be passed over for new releases like Metallica's Death Magnetic.-David J Newman 09/15/08"
