Information sleeve reads as follows: “Fans of Whitesnake, Gotthard, KISS and Deep Purple, this is for you”! Should I put on the list all the friends and lovers of melodic Rock in general? Okay, done… Should I add all the people loving Magnum and Treat and a whole bunch of such megabands? DONE! Well, the list if full! I don’t think we forgot something, yet it doesn’t really matter…
It’s the seventh album for the boys from Sweden; an album as sweet as a dozen semlas (or something like that)… The very definition of ΑOR, melodic songs, epical voice and backing vocals equally epic, e.g. title track and then some cool speeding up (the very next song). This is what we like to listen to, clapping along and singing along… Melody is the key!
These guys totally own it! They own it, they control it, they love it, they blast and rule! Keyboards and guitars maintain the necessary balance, drums and bass guitar support and move on.
“Test of time” is one heck of a fine song! These Scandinavians must be in a fab mood. Kewl AORstuff!
