Delightful

"What to say...if Freddie Mercury and Queen were still rocking they would probably sound like this great CD. While I have 95% of the music Paul Gilbert ever published I did not know Freddy Nelson but I am sure glad I did buy the disc. This is a delightful collection of rock/hard rock with a strong 80s personality. The singer really reminds of the great Freddie and Gilbert's guitar is, as always, astonishing. In particular track n.6 The Answer could have been lifted from The Game for what I know. Track n.7 is to me the highlight of the disc - I can't really explain it, the kind of song that packs enough emotion and sentiment to drain your strength- think Journey's Trial by Fire from the eponimous album...or think U2's Heartland....masterful stuff indeed. In these times when people spend money buying reissues of pearl jam and other noise peddlers it is great to have new music like this."
