Rock has finally come full circle

80'S MAN | Scarsdale, NY USA | 03/15/2007

"There are very few albums available today that one gets excited over. After the 1990's destroyed rock and roll with its uncanny ability to promote the worst production sound, most untalented vocalists and abysmal musicianship, most of the 70's and 80's bands packed it in. A few made some very strong comebacks but were always compromised by trying to adhere to the idiot model of the 1990's grunge scene. Joe has been coming back strong making excellent albums with Brazen Abott as well as with his own band. This album brought back the clear, high energy production that made 80's music so great. I think it is a credit that he held back nothing and brought back the 80's sound on this one. After all the refuse from the 90's, that is still being promoted as "rock" today, its refreshing to see that someone had the guts to bring back music. If its untalented droning vocalists with 3 chord pseudomelodies you want, go to a local seedy bar. If you want professional talent and production, listen to this..In short, rejoice! Rock is back."

OK, I guess

"Joe Lynn Turner is a good singer, but there's not much on this one that jumps out at you. The guitar player is kind of back in the mix and sounds like he's playing through 8" speakers. Not much excuse for a weak guitar sound these days. Fairly generic cd."
