Winning, memorable, choruses with amazing guitar work and songs that I was sure that Desmond Child had his hands in, but I guess that the Swedish new band COVERED CALL are professional enough to write their own material in such a high class level.

Just listen to their song "Hold On" and you will recognize that spark. "Nothing Lasts Forever" is a cliché but when it comes from COVERED CALL it sounds as an original thing that you have never heard in your wildest dreams. The lead guitar provides a feeling of freedom, that the whole world is in your hand with the grasp of the catchy chorus. I was so happy to see that Andy Loos, which was in one of my favorite band from the 80's GLORY, is with COVERED CALL alongside with Goran Edman, the man behind the microphone on the magnificent songs "Love Is Meant To Last Forever" and "Back On The Streets" on John Norum's debut album.

"Live It Up" has a different direction, little bit Bluesier than the AOR direction of the album, and even here they did it great. The song reminded me a little bit of Eric Clapton & B.B King's "Riding With The King". "Lorraine" is another great track, melodic Hard Rock with a nice backing vocals setting and powerful main guitar riff that enhance the song.

I found the next 3 songs as the best tracks in the album: "When The Lights Are Out", Edman's voice sounds so clear and fits as a glove to the melodies of  the song. Great drums work by Ronny Svanstromer, making things interesting. "Think About All Times" is my favorite track, Goran reminded me a tad of Ian Anderson with the emergence of the chorus. This is a very sticky song with powerful chorus and a great C part prior to the guitar solo. The first thing that I noticed on "Look Into Your Mind" is yet another example of a great drum, a bit progressive but with a good taste, preserving the Rockish order. The tension of the drums tension enchanted the lead guitars, in the end a great song that will take your thought of the day away.

"Impact" is a sort of impact made by a fine crew of veterans, fighting for the sake of classic Hard Rock. Don't let this one slip off your fingers.
