Overload kicks in heavy, but softens out with some strong vocals providing the song's mood and melody.
Dario Mollo's guitar playing has stepped up another notch ad he must be rated alongside the best in the business. The opening to Life Love And Everything only emphasizes this. His balance between shredding and riffing and a more laid back melodic feel across the album's 12 tracks is the foundation of why this album is as good as it is.
Balance Of Power is one of the albums more fast paced numbers, but like all good hard rocking albums, balance is needed. The slower, six minute plus Amore Silenzioso (complete with drum solo!) and the melodic Instrumental II provide that needed break. martin's vocals are fantastic on Amore....
The slow Neal Schon like intro to the rock ballad Wind Of Change continues the mid album wind down, which begind to gather momentum again with the soulful rocker Theater Of Dreams.
What A Strange Thing Love Is is as straight ahead a rock song as this album has and Dazed And Confused is pure slow paced Led Zeppelin. Not the greatest track on the album and it does somewhat dent the flow of the album.
By the time Guardian Angel starts, you begin to think a pick up in pace is needed - that last Zep-like track might have been one to many. Thankfully this is a solid hard rock track.
Poison Roses is a slow starting rock track, with a more soulful melodic edge. It's a good track and closes the album very well.
I do think that the best material of all is featured on the first half of the album, as there are a couple of tracks that drag towards the end - when Dario gets off track a little and spends a little time indulging in the blues.
The songs do range across a couple of different emotions, but the excellent guitar work and outstanding vocals bind it all together and generally the albums songs are of excellent quality.
