Apparently this opus features Paul Gilbert; but fans of Dokken/Kiss and melodic metal will no doubt dig this half-hearted and half-decent foray into straight-laced metal pomp. There are some nice crunchy moments; particularly 'Eyes on Love' and the Zeppish tinges of 'Stick!' but it's all to mainstream and inoffensive for it's own good as it sways in average fashion from Whitesnake to even a scratchy Ratt and whilst it makes for an enjoyable listen it's not the sort of opus you'll be playing frequently. Very much heavy rock by numbers that occasionally offers up a catchy groove.
6/10
