Pride Of Lions is a band featuring Jim Peterik of Survivor on guitars and amazing singer Toby Hitchcook. This album is packed with 1980's style melodic hard rock as good as any popular band in the genre from those golden ages of Adult Orientated Rock, also known as AOR. The production is not the best though, the bass can hardly be heard and there's too much stupid god preaching and the vocals doesn't always fit the music and the singing is too loud here and there. But there are some good songs and good playing and good clear singing. An okey album to listen to when you want to listen to rock with melody, powerful songs and some nice ballads.
1)Immortal (8,0) A very good and intense melodic rocker.
2)Delusional (7,5) Melodic hardrock with loud vocals.
3)Tie down the wind (7,5) "Big" and intense.
4)Shine on (6,5)
5)Everything that money can't buy (7,5) A good powerballad but they are trying to make more of it than they have to.
6)Coin of the realm (7,0) Good main riff but it's again, too much.
7)Sending my love (6,5) Almost too cheesy ballad but they stay on the right side of the cheesy-line.
8)Vital signs (7,5) Rock'n'roll.
9)If it doesn't kill me (7,0)
10)Are you the same girl (8,5) A pompous and really good powerballad! Yes!
11)Ask me yesterday (7,5) A good rocker.
