How about pushing that sweet Blues out? Take a chip of your shoulder and share the heavy burden, strong emotions were meant to release into the cold night air whispering that everything is going to be alright. So what not just Rock it out as the old ones used to do back in the early days, smoothly chopping, straight to the point, a bit rough and tough but with a shred of purity and soul? This is the way of the 70s, in the vein of DEEP PURPLE, slick tongue of WHITESNAKE, UFO, URIAH HEEP, LED ZEPPELIN and Bon Scott's AC/DC among the bright stars of the era. Rallying up the right musicians that played their parts on those mentioned bands along with talented 80s figures, SNAKECHARMER, might be considered as the Rockier signature of WHITESNAKE but different entirety than the Metallic orgasmatron, is a sort of answer to Modern Rock that classics never die, like a disease swarming preaching on how to produce honest Blues Hard Rock as it was swung forty years ago. The band's self-titled debut, via Frontiers Records, will surely recall the old demons out of the closet, but eventually the smoking figures will return rather fast to where they hatched from.

Though the score, which you probably already cared to take a look out isn't perfect or bad, won't quite correlate with this super lineup of veterans, you can't win them all as nobody is perfect. I am a true fan of this lineup's vision upon implementing old Rock music and make it come alive, but for some reason after listening to those tunes, several inspiring no doubt itching to remain as one of many currents down memory lane, I wasn't so convinced. Sure that this release delivers cool, clean cut hard to the bone Rock booging and bluesing the night away, harmonized by the support of classic sounding keys and preached by a hell of a suitable voice that can Rock with the best of them, yet all in all, nothing was too overwhelming. I liked the fact that nothing here wasn't too catchy, too sticky, like a rotting candy bar, less AORish and a bit tougher. "To The Rescue", "Guilty As Charged" and "Turn Off The Screw" stood out all guns blazing and glitter as the best charming Rockers, up and front, simplistic guitar riffing cracking up a few low gain harmonies and vintage soloing without joking around, damn good 70s vibe provide by the Bluesy type vocals and great piano effect of the keys, but way more polished thanks to the suitable production, decisive bass work and surplus drumming. "Falling Leaves", a twitching ballad with all of the right ingredients such as atmospheric guitaring, burning vocals and elegant keyboards suitable for the occasion. Nonetheless, this is not what I would call as something to brag about but still pleasing as the album's prime emotive moment of glory. Backed up by the comfort of haziness and crying in the rain, this number is smooth and easy, slender to just sit back and let it flow.

In general, this first offering by this esteemed lineup is saving pill for every craving Rock grinder to swallow. However, over time, and I came to notice that as well, it seemed that though Rocking just right, this album seemed to be repeating without willing to serve other than the basic stuff and here and there brilliant riffing. I enjoy the basics of the 70s origin and its smoking bluesy era treating the mind in such manners that I would force the body to lay down back, especially if made just right, tuned, lean and clean. But in overall it will only turn out to be just another fun, forgettable after a while and certainly not the framed golden disc prize.
