CD Reviews

Ready for something new

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I personnaly think that having a new approach that doesn't sound like the 80's gives this recording something special. Ok it ain't heavy rock "schidzoid style" but all in all the production quality is very high and the actual songs are kind of "catchy". Obviously were looking at a very commercial album. That is the only caution I'm putting out. Great album."
Give it a try!!!You won't be dissappointed!!

"Those great Myles vocals, those tight Mercer drums, those cool Greenway licks....They are all here! I love this album! I did not hit the skip button once. The tunes grabbed me with good hooks, most of them I found myself humming after the song was over. I hope this is just the beginning of a new period of recording for April Wine. This band still has much to say."
So-so album. Probably not worth the price.

"Uninspiring... they could have come up with something better after seven years of absence. Then again, perhaps the fact that they couldn't cut it explains why they were in hiding for seven years. But then they decided to return to the world of the living but all they could manage was two-and-a-half decent tracks - "Paradise" comes to mind here and may be one or two of the others depending on your musical inclinations. But nothing more than that... music is mostly recycled and lyrics comes from the same dictionary they used in 1975. Well you cannot do this for twenty years without suffering the consequences unless you are as crazy as Iggy Pop or as successful as Rolling Stones or as commercially driven as Elton John (this could be a point of contention but you get my drift, right?)."
