“The Mirror,” starts off with a nice acoustic melody filtering through the edge, as the bass and drums slowly begin to kick in and add an element of anticipation to what is coming. “A Stranger’s Eyes,” moves in with a bolt and a thunderous applause, slowly moving into overdrive, with a swaggering riff which adds a fair bit of a jolt and a shimmer. “Nothing But Trouble,” rocks the house down, with some thunderous riffage, and an added incentive in the shifting and changing movements of the vocals. “Dutch Courage,” slows things down a little with the clean guitar licks, before slowly picking up speed into a thundering assault and a tale to tell. “No Love,” simply epic, with a shifting and changing rhythm that adds a great deal of bite to proceedings. “One Way Ticket To Paradise,” is simply epic, shifting and changing with the times, and allowing a growth of movement.
“Rumours,” a song that plays on the edge, shimmers and shifts through the experience of the courtesans and ensures the listener is hooked. “Good to be Bad,” another song that kicks serious ass, playing an absolute blinder through the ground to ensure complete control and movement. “The Winner’s Always Right,” comes in with another raucous riff, ensuring the listener immediately sits up and listens. At once the song veers into powerful territory leaving the listener wanting more. “Valerie,” swaggers through and is a bit of a come down from the previous song, but with that added rock and roll edge. “Tonight We Rock,” comes thundering into being with a swaggering riff that takes things to the edge. Leaning forward and back all the time.
The album is out now.
