Credit has to go to Classic Rock magazine for putting me in touch with this band. I’ll be honest, I had never heard of them before I listened to Welcome to the Church of Rock & Roll on one of their free cd’s. I am now addicted. Granted, when I first listened to this album, I wasn’t sure – it is very unique and an album that you have to “get into” so to speak. But once you get past that initial barrier it is truly a joy to behold.
What was that? This is their 4th album? Let’s get the wallet out…..
1. Welcome to the Church of Rock & Roll
What a way to start an album! mesmerizing, unique, high-pitched rock and roll. This could be the church of rock and roll – an absolute classic! 9/10
2. I Like It
This track should be called “I Love It”. Genuinely don’t know why, I have never heard anything like it before – it’s a grower but slowly becoming my favourite. 8/10
3. Holy Touch
The tracks keep coming with this uniquely brilliant. Eric Sean Nally’s vocals are breathtaking on this track. 8/10
4. Last Chance At Love
A hint of Queen, and a more pop-rock ensemble from the Ohio band, still solid tho. 7/10
5. Forever Together
Simply bizarre, but uniquely brilliant. 8/10
6. (It’s) Too Late Baby
Best song on the album, and that takes some doing. The emotion in this track takes your breath away. 9/10
7. I Wanna be Yours
A hint of slow-punk, electronic and once again Queen. Trying to explain this album is proving tricky. 7/10
8. Wasted Feelings
Hmmmm, Jimmy Somerfield anyone? Very 80’s feel, but hugely entertaining and catchy. 7/10
9. The Temple
Starts off dirty, even slightly Sabbath-esque and turns into Muse. Not sure about this one?!? 5/10
10. The Streets
Thought this album was going to fizzle out and come to a disappointing end. Oh no…… 7/10
11. Freedom
A delightful, mellow ending to a terrific album. 8/10
