I am really
trying my best to figure out where the difference between this album and the
brilliant "Nowhere Land" by Slamer from 2006. This album is done by Terry Brock
in collaboration with renowned guitarist, songwriter and producer Mike Slamer,
and like on "Nowhere Land" they both shine equally bright. They share things
between them like on the other album; only difference is that this one is
released in Terry Brock's name.
To me this
is basically the follow up to one of the most impressive melodic rock albums
released in the past five years. The sound universe and templates used are
almost identical; the focus is on Mike's excellent guitar work and Terry's
brilliant voice. The songs are all little melodic gems, the album oozes
of class and style and this is without a doubt sweet honey for melodic rock
lovers.
If you love
"Nowhere Land" like I do then make sure to pick this one up because it has it
all. My only small complaint is that this is not a step up; this is more of a
step sideways. "Diamond Blue" is never-the-less a great melodic rock album and
one of the most impressive ones in the genre in a very long time.
