Firering on all six, the five-piece; Jens, vocals\/guitars, Mario Erdmann, bass\/vocals, Thomas Ellenberger, keyboards\/vocals, Sascha Fahrenbach, drums\/guitar and Nico Fahrenbach, drums aim to convince with this slice of melodic hard rock. <\/p>\n<p>But alas, this is not what I expected. There is a lot of melody here, loads of flat drums and an overall sound that seems wafer thin. The vocals are mostly good though, and the basic ideas deserve a better faith. The finest moment is probably the MAGNUM-remisiscent \u201cWhy Are Good Things too Hard to Find\u201d. It has a nice touch, a good feeling and a cozy slow mid-pace. Runner up is probably the BON JOVI-ish \u201cFavorite\u201d, with strong competition from the better sounding \u201cLong Gone\u201d &#8211; or the happy-go-lucky \u201cIt\u00b4s All Up to You\u201d. But the execution of these fine ideas is lame, or maybe even deplorable. I really feel for these guys, because they are not talentless, they are just victims of circumstances. <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\n2012<br \/>\nTo the End of the World<br \/>\nIt\u00b4s All Over Now<br \/>\nAnother Lonely Day without You<br \/>\nWhy Don\u00b4t You Save Me<br \/>\nStay Tough<br \/>\nFavorite<br \/>\nIt\u00b4s All Up to You<br \/>\nTonight Tonight Tonight<br \/>\nCan\u00b4t You Hear Me Calling<br \/>\nLong Gone<br \/>\nWhy Are the Good Things too Hard to Find<br \/>\nGimmie Gimmie Gimmie (ABBA Cover)<\/p>\n<p>www.wildfrontier.de   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Entertainment\/Music Buy Mail\/Sound Pollution WILD FRONTIER releases their fifth album since 1994, one with several meanings to the title.
