"Although missing Neal Schon replaced by Josh Ramos another legendary guitarist of the Storm, Hardline's second album after a ten year break is as great as ever.Hardline was originally a band project by Geoli Brothers collaborated with Neal Schon who liked the band's concept and its hard-edged sound. Their 1992 debut album "Double Eclipse" is one of the finest melodic rock albums ever made. Now Neal is busy as a key member of rebanded Journey and with a number of rock projects including his own. Neal gladly wrote a song for them "the Gift" featuring his impressive guitar solo. My #1 pick from the album is "Y" catchy hard-edged song fit for huge radio airplay. Pop rock song "Only A Night" , excellent ballad "Face The Night", dramatic power ballad "Hey Girls" are excellent as well. Overall they still live up to their legend and will attract a huge number of 80's rock fans' attention for sure."

"AFTER 10 YEARS, YOU'D THINK THAT A BAND WHO PUT OUT AN AWESOME CD IN 1992 WOULD BE LACKING A LITTLE BIT WHEN RECORDING A CD 10 YEARS LATER! I DIDN'T EXPECT THEM TO GET BETTER!
THIS CD IS REALLY GOOD! THE FIRST SONG GRABS YOU BY THE PILLS AND DOESN'T LET GO THROUGH THE WHOLE CD...."HOLD ME DOWN" ROCKS AND IS A PERFECT SONG TO START WITH AND THEN "Y" JUST KICKS!!!
THAT SONG WOULD BE A BIG RADIO HIT IF THIS CD WAS RELEASED IN THE U.S.
THE CD NEVER QUITS, THERE'S NOT ONE SONG I WOULD SKIP TO HEAR THE NEXT...IT'S THE KIND OF CD THAT GETS BETTER AND BETTER EVERY TIME YOU PLAY IT...I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY SUV CD PLAYER.
I HAD TO BURN 2 MORE COPIES, ONE FOR WORK AND ONE FOR THE HOUSE.
GET THE CD, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTTED."
Hardline 11 Rawks!

"What a great comeback,even without Neil Schonn. Great songs,great guitar. I have always loved Double Eclipse and this is just as good. I am playing it every day at the moment. It's already one of my most played i-pod albums. Just buy it, it's awesome!"
