68) Point Blank-The Hard Way 1980

Av Mikael Persson - 9 november 2011 16:32

 


More info on the band; see also 48) Point Blank-Second Season 1977 and 36) Point Blank-Point Blank 1976, both filed under "Southern Rock".


This, the 4th album from Texans Point Blank somewhat kept to their 70's sound but with a slightly poppier sound. An okey album that I play sometimes.


1)Turning back (8,0) Superincredible mainriff and furious singing from mr. O'Daniel but way too short.

2)The hard way (7,0) Midtempo rocker.

3)On the run (6,5) The vocals sounds like it's recorded in a metalcan, otherwise it's a nice jazzy and funky song.

4)Highway star (8,5) Liveversion of the Deep Purple-song. It may seem strange to have it on a studioalbum but I understand why, it doesn't get much more rock'n'roll than this! It's a fantastic version of the old classic and the crowd is going nuts!

5)Rock'n'roll soldier (6,0) Happy happy times!

6)Guessing game (7,0) Tempochanging and twinguitarsoloing!

7)Wrong to cry (7,0) Live again and this is a slow blues.

8)Thank you mama (8,0) Live, uptempo bluesboogierocknroller!


Score: 7,25

    Album number two from this incredible supergroup that made some unforgettable music in the 1980's! This is again melodic hardrock with a lot of keyboards and with impressing melodic, orchestral and powerful songs with fantastic vocals. A mus...

    8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...

    This american doom-band has an interesting history. Formed as an side-project by Pentagram's Bobby Liebling and Geof O'Keefe and was completed with Randy Palmer as far back as 1973-74 when they also recorded some material which did not get r...

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
