│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This is an averagely good album, and that's just ║ │
│║ what it is; nothing more. The brainchild of ║ │
│║ Danish guitarist Torben Enevoldsen (FATAL FORCE, ║ │
│║ SECTION A), this is ACACIA AVENUE's first album ║ │
│║ and I consider it to be more of a project and ║ │
│║ less than a full permanent band, as countless ║ │
│║ ones in the melodic Hard Rock circuit nowadays. ║ │
│║ Still, the participation of none other than Tony ║ │
│║ Mills is good news for fans of his fantastic ║ │
│║ voice. And maybe its the only exciting newsà ║ │
│║ Torben invites four singers to perform in this ║ │
│║ firs album, with trusted friends taking over the ║ │
│║ rest of the instruments. The result is a general ║ │
│║ blend of hardrockin' melodies focusing mostly on ║ │
│║ AOR vibes but also on traditional British or ║ │
│║ American formulas. The songs are intriguing, ║ │
│║ let's be honest, but the sound is so 'studio' ║ │
│║ put that you cannot even smell a live feeling in ║ │
│║ the CD, let alone the fact that the drums sound ║ │
│║ is so compressed you can assume it's all made in ║ │
│║ just a good PC. I tried to listen to Acacia ║ │
│║ Avenue for a dozen of times and really did not ║ │
│║ object to any of the songs included. Still, no ║ │
│║ single tune - expect from tracks #01 and #07 ║ │
│║ sung by Mills (SHY, TNT) - had the ability to ║ │
│║ stick to mind a bit. This is a case mostly seen ║ │
│║ in today's releases, I'm afraid: the music is ║ │
│║ good, well-performed by it does not usually have ║ │
│║ the potential to remain inside the listener for ║ │
│║ quite a long time. ║ │
│║ The band's style varies from JOURNEY and THUNDER ║ │
│║ to STAGE DOLLS and TNT to GIANT and VAN HALEN ║ │
│║ (and even TOTO). The solos and general guitar ║ │
│║ work is interesting, I must confess, and there's ║ │
│║ a wide feeling Torben has put lots of personal ║ │
│║ effort in this project album. If only the ║ │
│║ production was more fat and rich, we'd be start ║ │
│║ talking over for the songs' value. Nonetheless, ║ │
│║ musicians may fancy enough of the songwriting ║ │
│║ here but I do not think average rockers shall be ║ │
│║ convinced to put their money aside for this ║ │
│║ purchase. It's not a bad album but I think there ║ │
│║ are better options for new CDs out in the ║ │
│║ market. ║ │
