Have you listened to their older stuff? "Silence" and "Winterheart's Guild" are pretty good I think. I'm not much for power metal these days, but I like those two quite a bit. "Ecliptica" is a good debut as well, though I prefer the other two I mentioned. I'd check those out if you haven't already. No, I haven't listened to their older stuff. I'll jot down the album names on my to listen to list, but I'm having a hard enough time keeping up with the current stuff I need to review.

Kelly Keagy - I'm AliveRobben Ford - TruthSTARZ Greatest Hits Live MVD Entertainment Group 2007 "The live collection of the 70’s rockers greatest hits seems to capture the band in fine form. The CD is compiled from at least 3 different performances and while I found the sound to be adequate to mediocre, the quality of their material does seem to shine through. While I wouldn’t put the band in my own personal Top 10 of 1970’s rockers, they are pretty good. I think it is a shame I wasn’t musically aware in the 70’s because I probably would have liked the band. They’ve got a lively and energetic sound tied to that particular era and it does keep the ears engaged, even during the first half of the disc where the quality of the recording isn’t even as good as some bootlegs I’ve listened to over the years. The audio quality is the biggest problem I had with the entire disc. I think if you are going to reissue this type of album, you really need to make the sound more presentable than what a typical bootlegger could accomplish. You want to check out tracks like “Detroit Girls”, “Any Way That You Want It”, and “Cherry Baby” in particular, but surprisingly at least to me, each song is pretty good. If you like the 70’s rock era, you probably know of the band. You’ll definitely like this release. If you, like me, weren’t really into music when you were less than 10 years old, Greatest Hits Live provides a look back to a time when hard rock was in the infancy stage of what the genre has become today.

Richie Kotzen - Return of The Mother Head's Family ReunionTODD MARTIN Mont Clare Todd Martin Music 2007 "Todd Martin has certainly got the songwriting chops necessary to take the musical world by storm. Mont Clare opens up with the superb “Listen Like You Should.” It continues onward with a number of up-tempo songs. I kept trying to pin down whom Martin sounds even remotely like, but I was never really able to come up with someone. I think that is a pretty good indicator of how much talent he has. The contemporary pop feel that comes across never dips into the schmaltz and there is no danger of falling into a ballad rut either. Tight song arrangements, solid vocals, and superb lyrics make this CD something to really sink your musical teeth into. You need to check out “After The Sunset”, “Runaway” and the lengthy “For Better.” While I really liked the CD, I didn’t really care for “Greener is Home” and “Attention”. I’m sure others will like the songs but they just didn’t catch my fancy."
