These Swedish guys are really experienced! Marcel Jacob and Jeff Scott Soto started in the 80’s en played in several bands (for example: “Yngwie Malmsteen“), Jamie Borger also played in “Treat” while Fredrik Åkesson is also part of “Arch Enemy”.
 
   
Jeff’s voice pleases me one more time right from the start and I love the high levels of guitar playing.
 
   
This album shows again the existing of very good, classic “melodic hard rock”! My favourites: “Rhymes of reason” (groovy!), “End of the Line” (loud and heavy: the way I like it), “On my way (those guitars!), “Succumb 2 my desire“ (enjoy it loud with headphones) and the fantastic ballad: “Back to the feeling” (great guitar parts and wonderful melody!)
 
   
This is album rocks and it deserves an 8 instead of a 7!
