FRONT PAGE NEWS

My track-by-track opinion is this:

Front Page News: A nice song, melodic and all, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD Martin Turner make the microphone less sensitive, we can totally hear the saliva in your mouth as you sing, it irritates me so much!

Midnight Dancer: The chorus vocals are very nice and pretty memorable. A pleasant song.

Goodbye Baby Hello Friend: Pop rock love song with simplistic lyrics, nothing important here.

Surface To Air: A very nice blues rocker, melodic and technical, with inspired guitar work. Very good song!

714: Soft rock instrumental, nice but not special.

Come In From The Rain: I have the same comments for this one as for Surface To Air.

Right Or Wrong: Short blues rocker, in the spirit of Rory Gallagher. Great riff, a very nice song.

Heart Beat: All the money for this song is Martin's singing. His microphone is still sensitive, but nit as much as at the first song. He sings beautifully, in a song that could be part of Wishbone Four. Nice job!

The Day I Found Love: One of the best radio-friendly ballads they've done. The best "soft" song of (and not only) this album!

Diamond Jack: The best for last? Maybe! I really like this one, it sounds like it could be played on the radio without being a "bubble gum" song. No weaknesses, overall great performance, the whole song sounds very well form the beginning to the end. If it had a more significant riff, it would be considered among their best. Good job guys!

RATING: 3 stars, straight. Just a step behind Wishbone Four, a really solid album!
