The first impression... This sounds like old
Deep Purple / Rainbow
The opening track of Hurry Up And Wait is called No Room For Love and a heavy rock song
in the tradition of the above mentioned band.
So, what to expect from Joe Lynn Turner these days? Melodic neo-classical
metal and more.
Mr. Turner was part of Rainbow
and so it’s no surprise that his music has similarities, coz he loved the
music of that band.
On most songs you hear Paul Morris on keyboards, Greg Smith on bass and on
the drums Kenny Kramme.
On the opening track as well as on Guilty Heart, Shine On, Days Of Rage, We Will Survive and
Can’t Face Another Night
Savatage guitarist Al
Pitrelli is playing the six-strings. Btw, on Guilty
Heart which is a heavy, balladesque song with a catchy chorus Al
Pitrelli’s counter part on the guitar Chris Caffery (Savatage)
is adding a solo.
On the other tracks the guitar is played by Tony Bruno.
The ballad Shine On is the bonus track on European edition, it’s a powerful song with a
bluesy feeling.
And with Blueprint For The Blues he has
a real blues rock track on the album.
But with The Game Of Rock’n’Roll he
returns to the heavy rock.
That one will make you move and it keeps spinning in your head, a sing along
tune.
If you expect that Sentimental is a
ballad, then you are wrong! It’s a hard rocking song with heavy guitars and
pounding bass.
With Someday he has a kind of ballad on
the disc, it has the atmosphere of a ballad, but musically it’s more
powerful. At the end you’ll get the ballad most of you’re waiting for!
The album
was recorded at the Unique Recording Studios in New York City and is
produced by Bob Held and Joe Lynn Turner.
Bob Held and Al Pitrelli co-wrote some songs, but JLT also worked with other
song writers like Al Greenwood and Jim Peterik.
The album has a large variety within the genre which might is caused by the
different personalities who were involved in the song writing and
recordings. |
