I have now listened to a few of the other samples and it's less alike , but that first track.......


I'll ask Tommy D if it sounds like Eurovision LOL...]]> the ORIGINAL brent NoticeboardThu, 29 Nov 2012 09:21:35 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,921061#msg-921061 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,921061#msg-921061
What I do hear is a great European take on classic 80s US AOR/Westcoast. Bags of Toto influence, some elements of Chicago (the uptempo tracks on 19 and 21, but minus the brass), etc...

Look, we all know that, like the debut, it's nothing new. Nobody is even trying to claim it is. And it will not appeal to everyone because of that. If you want 'new', don't buy this album. Also, if you tend to avoid the lighter end of the spectrum, this may well not appeal.

However, if you do want pure AOR in the 'old style' then go for it without hesitation. If you like Work of Art, you'll probably love this, as they share the same vocalist and there are a few similar elements in the music, although, much as I love WOA, I think Lionville have a more 'classic' and less 'cluttered' sound.

Personally, this CD is on repeat at the moment in my car and I can't get enough of it. It's squeezed Jimi Jamison's new CD (which IS a whole lot like Survivor!!) and Rick Springfield out of my playlist and that took some doing cos both are bloody amazing albums.

In my top 5 of the year without doubt!]]> GuitarheroAndy NoticeboardThu, 29 Nov 2012 07:28:56 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,921043#msg-921043 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,921043#msg-921043 bazza13 NoticeboardThu, 29 Nov 2012 05:24:39 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,921039#msg-921039 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,921039#msg-921039 MetalWarrior85 NoticeboardThu, 29 Nov 2012 05:10:34 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,921020#msg-921020 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,921020#msg-921020 frankmac NoticeboardThu, 29 Nov 2012 03:08:26 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,921001#msg-921001 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,921001#msg-921001 the ORIGINAL brent NoticeboardThu, 29 Nov 2012 01:39:05 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,920971#msg-920971 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,920971#msg-920971 Andrew NoticeboardWed, 28 Nov 2012 21:17:09 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,920967#msg-920967 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,920967#msg-920967 Scott Watson NoticeboardWed, 28 Nov 2012 21:01:01 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,920965#msg-920965 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920924,920965#msg-920965
