<p>Liking this! Very heavy, and well done. Not sure it's a purchase, but not sure it's not. I'll definitely be back to listen to this again. Thanks Jon! Good stuff....undiscovered, until now!</p>

<p>I agree with you guys about the cover, but we all know that really shouldn't have an effect on the music. Right? Well, I thought this was very decent. I enjoyed listening to it. I enjoyed the riffage and the drumage. The vocals were good too. And I did hear some of the Styx/Tommy Shaw sound Jon was talking about. </p>

<p>Best songs for me were Bleed and Loser On A King's Throne. Nice post Jon.</p>

<p>First tune has a bit of a Night Ranger geetar effect, not too bad of a start. Certainly much better than the cover suggests.</p>

<p>I hear the Corporate rock connection your review quotes elude to, and vocally this guy is good! But I also hear tunes that really lack some of that AOR/Melodic rock riffage and catchy choruses.

Nothing really grabs me (except for maybe You Remain which is quite nice), but there is potential here, no question about that. Maybe some tweaking on the song writing side, a name change, and bit of image makeover they could come back and try again. It also sounds like that may go unrealized given their relationship with the record company and this being there one and only release from 2007-ish, maybe too much time has passed for them to try again?</p>
