│║ ║ │
│║ Artist : John West Rating : You Decide! ║ │
│║ Album : Long Time No Sing Label : Frontiers ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This album could have been easily titled Set Me ║ │
│║ Free or something relevant. The reason? Well, ║ │
│║ let me just say that my opinion is that West is ║ │
│║ just killing time with his two bands - Royal ║ │
│║ Hunt & Artension. Both bands are ok but Mr. West ║ │
│║ sounds like a mercenary in them. Damn it, ║ │
│║ virtuoso players - you are not setting free a ║ │
│║ killer voice like this one! ║ │
│║ Funny thing is that though West always was a ║ │
│║ Hard Rock singer, the last decade he's been ║ │
│║ having some really bad friendships with ║ │
│║ progressive acts. West started at the age of 14 ║ │
│║ when he got involved with the N.Y. Hard Rock ║ │
│║ circuit. In 1992 he moved to L.A. and became the ║ │
│║ vocalist of super act Badlands until the band's ║ │
│║ ultimate demise. Between 1997 and 1998 he ║ │
│║ released two solo albums entitled Mind Journey ║ │
│║ (1997) and Permanent Mark (1998) and started his ║ │
│║ collaboration with the Progressive Metal band ║ │
│║ Artension with whom he has released so far seven ║ │
│║ studio albums. In 1999 he also joined another ║ │
│║ band - Royal Hunt. ║ │
│║ The album is obviously a vocal based, Hard Rock ║ │
│║ driven piece of work. Accompanied by two ║ │
│║ Savatage members, West is kicking serious ass ║ │
│║ with his talented voice. He easily balances ║ │
│║ between straight-edged Rock, Blues Rock, ballads ║ │
│║ etc. In fact there are a couple of songs that ║ │
│║ will bring the Badlands Era of West's life in ║ │
│║ mind (the song Give Me A Sign is a fine example ║ │
│║ to that). I also really liked Over My Head and ║ │
│║ Falling Down. But to be honest, the majority of ║ │
│║ the songs included in this album are really ║ │
│║ good. ║ │
│║ Everything else is nicely balanced. Don't expect ║ │
│║ something that brings in mind the two major acts ║ │
│║ of this gifted vocalist. Oh, you might consider ║ │
│║ the last piece (Puetro Amor) as a connection ║ │
│║ link to them. ║ │
│║ Now that the summer's kicked in for good here in ║ │
│║ Athens, I've found the soundtrack to my hot ║ │
│║ nights. Strongly recommendedà ║ │
