Mikael Erlandsson (Lead Vocals, keyboards), Andy Maleck (ex FAIR WARNING; guitars), Marcel Jacob (TALISMAN; bass), Jamie Borger (TALISMAN; drums)
Swedish/ German Melodic Rock band LAST AUTUMN’S DREAM have done it again and recorded another top class album that outshines all they have done previously. This is their fifth studio album and they can certainly prove they have what it takes to become top of the melodic rock genre. The talented four-piece consisting of singer Mikael Erlandsson, axeman Andy Maleck and TALISMAN’s rhythm section, Marcel Jacob and Jamie Borger have showed us they can write very good songs which are well structured and have huge potential.
Mikael Erlandsson is one of the best singer/songwriters in Sweden today with a successful career as a solo artist, especially in Europe and Japan. Andy Maleck, from the successful German Hard Rock band FAIR WARNING is a very talented guitarist, has a brilliant tone and a flair for putting guitar harmonies together. Marcel Jacob and Jamie Borger are something of the best bass/drums units you can find around.
The opening blast of “Strange Operation” is enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention. This song has a powerful guitar chord backed with a punchy bass line before it breaks into great harmonies and a magical guitar solo from Andy. “My Alibi” is a pleasant tune which just runs effortlessly with its sing-along-chorus and powerful riffs. The ballad “I’m not supposed to love you anymore” is as good as it can possibility get, and has a “Journey” feel to it.
The song “Lost in Moscow” could almost be something from a huge film soundtrack as it sounds that classy, it has all the elements to be the theme running through an action film. In fact there is not a weak song on the whole album. This is such a strong release, and songs like “War of the Worlds” and “Rainbow Sky” just take one listen before you are under the spell of Last Autumn’s Dream”
As previously mentioned this is the band’s fifth studio release and it is a tremendously talented piece of work from four guys that know how to write excellent songs. This should put them at the top of their field; it is such a great album. Last Autumn’s Dream are ready to dominate the melodic rock market once again with this fantastic introduction to 2008.
