CD Reviews

A great retrospective of some of Tony Clarkin's more emotional compositions.

It's when the band let go of any pre-conceptions they're holding onto that 'Same Sun, Same Moon' truly shines as the pinnacle of their potential.

Definitely a release for completest, hardcore Krokus fans only and one that could have been so much better with a bit of thought.

Kennedy's vocals, playing and writing won me over completely.

A coherent, engaging and very well put together album from an artist who is clearly a creative force to be reckoned with.

Is this really Foghat? Yes, it certainly is... just slightly different.

Well played and well delivered but well standard.

One brilliant act to follow and one that will rival the very best from those who established and defined the genre.

No wonder the Prog fraternity voted these shows "Event Of The Year 2015".

Full of head-banging fuel and old-school traits.

Will certainly set the world of Symphonic Rock and Metal ablaze.

Those willing to cast aside any genre prejudices they may have, may find something more rewarding.

Take any other decent lead singer and have him sing over this and you would have a very competent album indeed.

They keep the flag of Sleaziness flying high.

In a crowded market I'm not convinced that Heartache have that certain "something" to make them major contenders. Hailing from Italy, this is the band's debut...

This is Rock 'n' Roll in its purest form and it's also excellent unadulterated fun.

Starset have created something special that should not be ignored simply because of genre definition.

This is simply good time, foot-tapping, sing-along stuff done well.

It has taken the Swedes a mere thirty-four years to release their debut.

Although atmospheric on the whole, this release also has some punchy tracks.

An album that will go far in helping this amazing band break through to the upper echelons of the Melodic Rock world.

It's nigh on an hour of groove, fuzz tone, spacey Hawkwind moments, jangly Alternative left-field ramblings all immersed in Psychedelia that would put a grin on Robert Fripp's face....

Avoids the clichés that have plagued Modern Rock over the last five years and gives it a much needed kick in the backside.

This album offers up an absorbing palette for the more discerning amongst you.

An album that struggles to change gear and offer the sort of variety which makes for a more satisfying experience.

If you're an AOR/Melodic Rock fan, and you'll know if you are, you should love this.

Progressive Rock is alive and well in 2017 and with bands such as The Mute Gods and this excellent release, it's in very safe hands. ...

Power 5 is, perhaps, the best kept secret of the Czech Republic but hopefully 2017 will change all of that.

This band from San Francisco will definitely shake your soul foundation more than an earthquake.

Well-crafted and played Melodic Rock from someone who knows exactly how this stuff is supposed to work.
