This feels
almost as great as putting a classic Tyketto album on again! The sensational
feeling those guys created in a too short period of time, where especially their
two first albums 'Don't Come Easy' (1991) and 'Strength in Numbers' (1994) still
stand out as some the most sublime albums in melodic rock.
Some of that
magic is recreated with the second From the Inside album: 'Visions' and
Danny Vaughn proves again why many consider him one of melodic rock premier
vocalists. Think classic melodic rock with both feet solid founded in American
rock traditions from 1980 onwards, where bands like Journey, Foreigner and
Boston set the standard.
The genre
grew big, many great as well as not so great bands sprung out, and the signs are
good for a comeback for a lot of these bands these days... From the Inside
has hit the dart straight in the middle with this album, and has created an
album that has all the classic trademarks as well as a brilliant vocalist.
'Visions' is
a mandatory purchase, if you are into classic melodic rock the American way, and
love the voice of Danny Vaughn just like me. A very well rounded and pleasant
album that really shows that there is still hope for this genre, which
thankfully seems to have a small comeback these days.
