│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ One of the latest albums I have reviewed was a ║ │
│║ release from the Frontiers Records label and ║ │
│║ anyone who knows this label, knows that they ║ │
│║ release nothing but top quality music so if you ║ │
│║ get something from Frontiers, you get your ║ │
│║ moneys worth and ECLIPSE, WORK OF ART, HOUSE ║ │
│║ LORDS, W.E.T., JSS and HARDLINE are just a few ║ │
│║ names that spring to mind so will the band in ║ │
│║ this review be added to bands that I like from a ║ │
│║ top quality label like Frontiers? Let us find ║ │
│║ out. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The subject of this review is the latest from ║ │
│║ American rockers TRIXTER who are back with ║ │
│║ studio album number four which is entitled ║ │
│║ ôHuman Eraö. Formed in 1983 in Paramus, New ║ │
│║ Jersey, this four piece band started out as a ║ │
│║ live act for the first few years of their career ║ │
│║ and in that time, despite not releasing any ║ │
│║ albums, they gained a large following and got to ║ │
│║ play with names like KIX and SKID ROW. 1990 saw ║ │
│║ the release of their first album which was a ║ │
│║ self-titled debut. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After the release of a second album in 1992 and ║ │
│║ a covers album in 1994, TRIXTER took a 12 year ║ │
│║ break from 1995-2007 before reforming with the ║ │
│║ original four members to start recording again ║ │
│║ but first it was back to their roots as a live ║ │
│║ act so in 2008 a live album was recorded and ║ │
│║ released and then in 2012, they signed onto ║ │
│║ Frontiers Records and released their first album ║ │
│║ in 20 years was released and now in 2015, album ║ │
│║ number four is ready for us to listen to and ║ │
│║ will be unleashed onto us in the first week of ║ │
│║ June. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôHuman Eraö is 45 minutes and 11 songs of brand ║ │
│║ new material from an act who despite going quiet ║ │
│║ for a long time, still have in their blood to ║ │
│║ write, perform and record music and this album ║ │
│║ is proof of that as upon first listens, you get ║ │
│║ a taster of what this act are capable of when ║ │
│║ they are in the studio as there is plenty to ║ │
│║ like about their music. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The new TRIXTER release has a lot going for it ║ │
│║ being a Frontiers release an all but as usual, ║ │
│║ that is always a positive thing because as I ║ │
│║ mentioned before, this label only release top ║ │
│║ quality music so every time they bring a band ║ │
│║ onto their label, you know the music they make ║ │
│║ is going to be good and that is exactly what you ║ │
│║ get with this album. From start to end, there is ║ │
│║ a large number of enjoyable songs ranging from ║ │
│║ catchy and heavy Hard Rock tracks to excellent ║ │
│║ Melodic Rock songs and everything else in ║ │
│║ between while using elements of Glam Metal to ║ │
│║ remind you, the listener that Glam is never dead ║ │
│║ even though it supposedly went out of fashion ║ │
│║ back in late 20th century. Some of the songs ║ │
│║ that remind you of this include: ôRockinÆ to the ║ │
│║ Edge of the Nightö, ôNot Like All The Restö, ║ │
│║ ôEvery Second Countsö, ôBeats Me Upö, ôAll Night ║ │
│║ Longö and ôSoul of a LovinÆ Manö to name but ║ │
│║ many enjoyable Rock songs from this American ║ │
│║ quartet. Production on this is excellent with ║ │
│║ lots of cleanliness in the melodies meaning that ║ │
│║ nothing is dull or boring and you get to hear ║ │
│║ everything this band has to offer and then some ║ │
│║ including the insane guitar riffs and solos, the ║ │
│║ melodic keyboard melodies, the pounding beats ║ │
│║ from the rhythm section that is the drums and ║ │
│║ bass guitar and of course the vocals which work ║ │
│║ their butt off to deliver a great performance to ║ │
│║ accompany the already great music and that is ║ │
│║ something is pulls off with style and class. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Bottom line, the new TRIXTER album is nothing ║ │
│║ short of excellent as just like every other ║ │
│║ release on the excellent Frontiers Records ║ │
│║ label, there is nothing here that you would ║ │
│║ hate, get bored of or want to hate even if you ║ │
│║ spammed the hell out of it with that replay ║ │
│║ button on your music player of choice as all the ║ │
│║ songs are enjoyable from start to end which also ║ │
│║ applies to this album so I would highly ║ │
│║ recommend picking up this gem for your music ║ │
│║ collection. ║ │
