His fruitful venture as PRIDE OF LIONS together with the voice of Toby Hitchcock has more albums to their belt with this one. Offering a mix of ballads and rockers in the melodic rock vein the dynamic duo hopes to break it big in the US, which obviously hasn\u00b4t happened yet. <\/p>\n<p>This album is more of a mixed bag that I thought. It has the big sounding five-star ballad, e.g. \u201cEverything that Money Can\u00b4t Buy\u201d, the catchy mastership of \u201cCoin of the Realm\u201d and the aged smokey rock of the long-time developed \u201cVital Signs\u201d. BUT, it also has the overly polished songs, like \u201cTie Down the Wind\u201d, the formulaic \u201cShine On\u201d, the olive oil infested \u201cSending My Love\u201d and the way too soft ballad in the shape of \u201cAre You the Same Girl\u201d. Where are the balls of rock? The vocals are very strong, the composing ability definitely noticeable\u2026but the mix and the overall sound just doesn\u00b4t do it for me.  I want an album like this to create emotions, which it doesn\u00b4t for production reasons. This one is a typical example of wanting to break it big in the US too much. <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nImmortal<br \/>\nDelusional<br \/>\nTie Down the Wind<br \/>\nShine On<br \/>\nEverything Money Can\u00b4t Buy<br \/>\nCoin of the Realm<br \/>\nSending My Love<br \/>\nVital Signs<br \/>\nIf It Doesn\u00b4t Kill Me<br \/>\nAre You the Same Girl<br \/>\nAsk Me Yesterday<\/p>\n<p>www.frontiers.it www.myspace.com\/prideoflions <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frontiers\/BAM Frontiers seem to house most of the old SURVIVOR squad, and here goes Jim Peterik again.
