│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ You are now imagining / remembering the classic ║ │
│║ melodic Rock revolution of the 1980s. A long ║ │
│║ lost age when SURVIVOR, FOREIGNER and JOURNEY ║ │
│║ ruled the earth, along with their tales of ║ │
│║ everything vaguely related to love. PRIDE OF ║ │
│║ LIONS is the direct descendant of these three ║ │
│║ bands. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The first song on the album ôImmortalö is a ║ │
│║ powerful statement of intent about how AOR will ║ │
│║ never die, I agree, itÆs far too commercially ║ │
│║ viable to die. While the first song is catchy, ║ │
│║ powerful and the riffs are actually pretty damn ║ │
│║ heavy, the second song is total commercial Rock ║ │
│║ standard fare; elevated from mediocrity only ║ │
│║ because of HitchcockÆs amazing voice. Despite ║ │
│║ this it needs to be said that the lyrics in this ║ │
│║ album are a huge step forward from the normal ║ │
│║ heartbroken love ballads of the 80s. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The instrumentalism in this album is actually ║ │
│║ rather good. The riffs are original and ║ │
│║ deceptively heavy, you can really feel the ║ │
│║ implicit metal influences inside the songs. The ║ │
│║ drums are fairly pedestrian but this is all it ║ │
│║ needs to be and they do push forward the music, ║ │
│║ in fact the rhythm is seriously tight. The solos ║ │
│║ are actually excellent, loads of feeling and mix ║ │
│║ it with speed. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If you are a hardcore melodic Rock fan you will ║ │
│║ have already noticed that Jim Peterson, a member ║ │
│║ of the giants, SURVIVOR is a member of the band. ║ │
│║ Peterson said that; ôPRIDE OF LIONSis my vision ║ │
│║ of the best elements of the great melodic ║ │
│║ Rockera of the 80s, updated of course with ║ │
│║ moremodern production soundsö. I think itÆs safe ║ │
│║ to say that the last half of the mission ║ │
│║ statement has been completed; the production in ║ │
│║ this album is fantastic. All the instruments ║ │
│║ come through crystal clear, though a little bit ║ │
│║ flat but thatÆs just nitpicking. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This album is exactly what you expect from a ║ │
│║ great commercial Rock album; but better. Putting ║ │
│║ all the ingredients of a good Commercial Rock ║ │
│║ album together does not make a good album, it ║ │
│║ usually makes you sound like BON JOVI. Without a ║ │
│║ certain degree of originality it is soulless and ║ │
│║ PRIDE OF LIONS has this originality in spades, ║ │
│║ thatÆs what makes this album good. ║ │
