Free Music Review: Heavy AOR funsters
Hit: 4 Stars
Kicking off with the fun boys night out songs Goin' Home Tonight and Dirty Woman the scene is set for White Lions sophomore effort to be a brilliant highway cruiser of an album. With precise playing and lush production by 'Michael Wagener for Double Trouble Productions' this is a rock 'n' roll album full of uplifting tunes. And due to some mystical X factor White Lion were an accepted entity by AOR lovers AND hard rock fans in a way that some other bands of equal heaviness weren't (Firehouse anyone?).
As the album unfolds Mike Tramps raspy voice guides the listener through the highs and lows of the discs journey. And there are some dodgy tunes here - Broken Home not really interesting me. Or maybe it cuts too close to the bone for me (someone get me Dr Phil on line 2). But the breezy highs are way more numerous and it's hard not to rate this as a guilty pleasure. Let's Get Crazy, Don't Say It's Over and the much touted cover of Radar Love stacking on the cheese but in a backwardly acceptable way.
And that's without mentioning the all guns blazing If My Mind Is Evil. Wow, funny how this band didn't address this musical direction more given their obvious ability to court it brilliantly. Sort of spiritual cousin to Warsong from their Mane Attraction album.
Four stars for what it is - fun time AOR played with passion and not money making cynicism as it's driving force.
