Bring'em On
Rating
Style: Hard Rock / Progressive Metal / AOR
Release date: March 28th 2008
 

On the positive side of things the guitar work on the album is excellent, the album is packed blistering leads and groovy guitar parts, and the vocals are strong, raw and distinct. On the negative side the production is only adequate, the song writing needs some refinement and the band doesn't set them apart from the competition in any way.

Their hard rock with a progressive metal twist is done at a high technical level, and they are capable of writing good metal songs; "A Life's Alibi", "Insanity Desire" (with Jeff Scott Soto as a guest vocalist), "Enemy in You" and "Fallen Moon", the rest isn't quite up to the same level. But they do end the album on a high note with "Don't Stop Believin'" - a great AOR song that really doesn't fit with the rest, but it works fine on its own...

'Bring'em On' shows a band with potential, but they need to focus in on which direction they want to take the band. I am sure we will see them grow with their next album if they are able to carve their own niche and explore their full potential.
