As "Hot City" begins, so does the headbanging after the first few notes! Amazing rock n' roll
rhythm with an awesome melodic hard rock sound and crystal-clear vocals by Minna Ora!
The second track coming up is the melodic and rhythmic "Game Is Over". Its rhythmic bass and
drums alongside "dirty" guitars and riffs will put you in a rocking mood! You'll definitely be saying
"Oh yeah baby!"as you're listening to it! What an excellent start for the Finnish rockers by these two tracks!
Let's see what's next.
Continuing the album in the same quality footsteps are "100 Miles Away", "Tonite", "Jailbait Stalemate"
and "Riff Raff Song", with the last one winning the 'battle' among them due to its beautiful rhythm and
great guitars! Right after those are "The Road Is Ending" and "Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)",
the latter being an incredible rock track! Minna Ora's vocals are worthy of a rock seminar. Add the amazing riffs,
catchy chorus and rhythmic bass and drums into the mix, and you've got all the pieces of this musical puzzle!
You'll move on to the next track only after listening to this one at least twice! (laughs!!)
Equally high-quality hard rock tracks are the upcoming ones, "Shanahdoah", "I Can Do" and "Shorai Shorai".
The album is ended melodically by the beautiful ballad, "Pain In My Heart", a track with vocals that are
trully spectacular! Right after starting, it will make you want to close your eyes and embark on a journey to
its beautiful world! Anything I say about this track won't be enough to do it justice, its crystal-clear,
melodic vocals make it stand out from the rest of the tracks. Simply amazing!
In summary, these Finnish rockers are exceptionally talented, and that's proven by the amazing quality of
heir music! They have a charismatic female vocalist with a truly beautiful voice. They have bonded together
as a band very well, and as a result we have a very high-quality album! Long story short, you shouldn't miss out
on this album for no reason whatsoever! You'll be doing yourself a major disservice by not listening to this
incredible music! Drop whatever you are doing and go buy this album!
Consider its quality, it's a steal for its price tag of $7.99 (Digital) or 17,50€ (CD)! As for the score, I can't give it anything
higher than a 10/10, but I can do what colleges do, so I'll give it a 10/10 with honors!
Now, I'll have to leave you to listen to "Pain In My Heart" one more time!
Rock on and stay melodic!
