ACTION - Action


Despite the self titled album, the band exists since mid 80's, although they have been disbanded during 90's. The thing that will take your breath away from the very first minute, is the ability of the band to write breathtaking melodic songs. Melodic music at it's finest, flirting with Metal, with tons of AOR elements and excellent songwriting is what describes best this album. The vocals are powerful, the melodies are plenty and catchy, the refrains catchy enough, and the keyboards plenty, but never dominating the music. A band that knows how to create a melodic album, with absolutely not a weak moment, rockin and powerful, with its hard and slow moments, with sticky ballads and harder songs. It's really hard to pick any songs here, or to distinguish the work of any of the members, as the album is balanced, with no dominating parts, but with members contributingequallyy to the result. The production comes to complete the album in the best possible way. If you are, and there are many of those, a fan of AOR, and Melodic music, this album will give enough hours of listening pleasure.
9/10
