PC69 delivers again...

"The other reviews hit the nail on the head. Simply put, Sonic Dynamite is as good, if not better than Electrified. I feel it simply boils down to which album has your favorite songs. What is great is that the band doesn't try to reinvent themselves - Pink Cream 69 makes great melodic metal and that is exactly what you get.
Song Highlights incluge: Seas Of Madness, Followed By The Moon, The Spirit(possibly my favorite PC69 song), Waiting For The Dawn, Lost In Illusions and Shattered Prophecy.
Fans of PC69 already know that the band delivers - I'm yet to buy a weak album from them. People new to the band can start with Sonic Dynamite or Electrified and not be disappointed with either album."
Amazing Melodic Hard Rock

"Oh wow, just when I thought nothing could possibly top Pink Cream 69's 1999 album Electrified, here comes the band's 2000 release Sonic Dynamite to once again blow me away!
I wish I could adequately describe how flat-out awesome this album is. Pink Cream 69's brand of melodic hard rock bordering on heavy metal is just so much better than nearly every other melodic rock band. Dennis Ward is probably the best songwriter in the genre today, and his work here is untouchable. Each song blazes with incredible energy, due in no small part to vocalist David Readman's phenomenal performance. I'd rate him a close second to DC Cooper with regards to this kind of music (and you can see from my other reviews that I idolize DC Cooper), and his voice on this album is just explosive (which is appropriate, given the album's title).
Standout tracks on Sonic Dynamite are, well, all of them. Like Electrified, there isn't a weak moment on the entire disc.
I still feel like I'm selling this amazing album short, so I'm going to end this with a recommendation. If you like hard rock music, buy this album. Seriously. Hard rock fans should love this. Metal fans should too. AOR purists may need oxygen after hearing it, but they'll probably love it as well. It's just that good."

"A true international act (featuring a British singer, a German guitarist, an American bassist, and a Greek drummer), a very melodic hard rock band Pink Cream 69 has forged a successful career in Europe and Japan. Their great hook ladened catchy style of hard rock could be compared to Dokken, Beseech, Bon Jovi and For my Pain Their seventh album, Sonic Dynamite, was released in 2000 on Massacre label and features 13 tracks"
