Gotthard-Firebirth: a re-listen
Date: February 28, 2013 05:44PM
Just went back and spun this after a long spell away (keep trying out cds w/ the new 'phones). Gotta say, I still enjoy this 'comeback' cd from the guys. Very back to basics and a 'starting over again' approach. I think they were smart to take this route with a new singer and all. Some think it was a step back and not up to par with their canon with Steve Lee. Guess it depends on how you hear the cd. I still find it pretty enjoyable and look forward to what they come up with next. Guessing it'll be pretty damn good as they stretch their wings once again. Anyone else relisten lately? T
PS: I didn't care for them following up the ballad with Shine,as it's also a laid back,slower tune. I always like a rocker after a ballad. small quibble,tho..
