130) Axel Rudi Pell-Shadow Zone 2002

Av Mikael Persson - 5 oktober 2012 20:06

 


This is the first full album I hear with the american/german hardrock/metal-band Axel Rudi Pell. I have also seen them live at Sweden Rock Festival a few years back and as good as this album is, as good was the concert, and then I mean that this really is a killer album and killer band! They have become an absolute favorite band of mine and continues to release good music well into the 2010's. I love the sheer power of the music, the incredible sense for melody, the singing, the production, the ballads and the playing. This really is an enjoyment of an album and great cover!


1)The curse of the chains (-) Intro.

2)Edge of the world (8,0) Very good melodic and powerful start.

3)Coming home (8,0) A slowtempo 7-minute song with great feeling. A little too repetitive.

4)Live for the king (8,0) A ballad for 3 minutes and then same as song 3. for 5 minutes.

5)All the rest of my life (8,0) Melodic and "big" ballad.

6)Follow the sign (9,0) A great driving hardrocker with a nice guitarsolo and great chorus.

7)Time of the truth (8,0) Very good for 6 minutes but the last 2 minutes are too much. Why such long songs if they don't have enough good music too fill them out?

8)Heartbreaker (8,0) Another ballad. Too many ballads but they are on the other hand very good.

9)Saint of fools (8,0) Good hardrocker.

10)Under the gun (7,5) Good ballad but too repetitive and a little too cheesy.


Score: 8,06

    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 ...

    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...
