│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ THE POODLES is a Glam / Hard Rock band from ║ │
│║ Stockholm in Sweden. They were formed in the ║ │
│║ fall of 2005. The debut album ôMetal Will Stand ║ │
│║ Tallö was released in 2006, second effort ôSweet ║ │
│║ Tradeö was released in 2007, third album "Clash ║ │
│║ of the Elementsö in 2009, in 2011 album ║ │
│║ ôPerformocracyö and now coming in with the fifth ║ │
│║ album, "Tour de Force". ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I have to share it with you that I was thrilled ║ │
│║ to review this new album as a fan of the band ║ │
│║ that has been enjoying the power and the energy ║ │
│║ of their songs. ôEn F÷r Alla F÷r Enö, came as a ║ │
│║ bonus, took me by surprise that I really liked. ║ │
│║ It is the official theme song for the Swedish ║ │
│║ hockey team which will be used when the 2013 ║ │
│║ World Championships of Ice Hockey visit ║ │
│║ Stockholm this month. This powerful sing-along ║ │
│║ result is collaboration between songwriters ║ │
│║ Anders Wikstr÷m (TREAT) and Fredrik Thomander ║ │
│║ (SCORPIONS, TREAT, GOTTHARD) and THE POODLES. ║ │
│║ First time I hear the band singing in Swedish. ║ │
│║ This is amazing lively track and melodic as ║ │
│║ hell! ô40 Days And 40 Nightsö is first single of ║ │
│║ the new album which greatly shows that THE ║ │
│║ POODLES are still in perfect form, Pop / Rock at ║ │
│║ its best. ôLeaving The Past To Passö is ║ │
│║ beautiful ballad, violin & piano with an amazing ║ │
│║ high climate, choir singing gently as backup. ║ │
│║ Opener ôMisery Loves Companyö is another ║ │
│║ highlight with plenty of power, nice guitars and ║ │
│║ cheerfulness (though the title), along with fine ║ │
│║ melodies. ôViva Democracyö is a killer, with low ║ │
│║ tuned guitars swinging its catchiness all ║ │
│║ around, love that track with a great build up. ║ │
│║ Henrik Bergqvist is a master at work, playing ║ │
│║ tremendous guitar solos and catchy riffs, Jakob ║ │
│║ Samuel has wonderful strapping voice, force, ║ │
│║ sensitive, melody and clear. His voice is ║ │
│║ special no doubt, always easy to recognise that ║ │
│║ it is Jakob's singing. ôHappily Ever Afterö is ║ │
│║ another cheery dose groovy bass, sing along for ║ │
│║ the fans and a peak solo moment. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Worth to listen are also: ôNow Is The Timeö with ║ │
│║ much dynamism and easiness, ôGodspeedö with ║ │
│║ fantastic stronger riffs and notable solos, ║ │
│║ melodic ôOnly Just Begunö with low tuned ║ │
│║ guitars, catchy ôMiracleö with heavier riffs & ║ │
│║ following last is ôGoing Downö with several ║ │
│║ other crunchier slides of fun. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This album is a work of art with so many catchy ║ │
│║ melodies, power and the experience dripping ║ │
│║ right out of it. The engineering done is so ║ │
│║ good, I could notice every instrument and ║ │
│║ channel. Fans of matured Glam Metal and Hard ║ │
│║ Rock with ounces of melodies will wish to ║ │
│║ apprehend this one fast. ║ │
