I don't think many macho metalheads would've purchased this album back in the '80s because they wouldn't have been seen dead with this album cover floating around their bedroom! Even so, Silent Angel's second opus is a gutsy power rock effort that combines the saunter and sway of Whitesnake with so many familar mane-haired wannabe's. Could be worse of course, but the band are bolstered by the rich vocal delivery and their ability to write half decent albeit rather dull rock tunes. These sort of bands were certainly all the rage back in the day but the waters were polluted with this sort of stuff so when metal got its alterno wake up call thousands of bands of this ilk became extinct. Thankfully, due to the power of websites such as You Tube we can revisit these melodic rockers and finally realise that they were good whilst they lasted and we're happy even to have some of these bands back. With so many cool and innovative heavy metal bands around I wouldn't recommend you spend your last few pennies on this, but pick it up cheap by all means or do what everyone else seems to do nowadays and download it. Personally, I'd prefer it on vinyl...if the cover wasn't so bad!Tuesday, 28 February 2012
