tnt / all the way to the sun (2005)

After TNT’s last album of melodic hard rock excellence, My Religion, I was very curious about this effort. First of all this is not the new "my religion" or "intuition", this is a good hard rock album with some modern elements in it. Vocalist Tony Harnell has already made some noise in the scene earlier this year with his other band,Starbreaker, and their fantastic debut album. First song is "A Fix" and gets things started. A great song , the chorus lines are simple, yet melodic and memorable. "Too Late" and "Driving" are rythmic with a catchy choruses, for sure two of the highlights of the album. "Me and I" sees the band head in a bit of a different direction. The tone is bit more dark,yet the chorus line is huge, with Tony again soaring for the high notes with great emotion."Sometimes" is the hit of the album, a nice song with a memorable chorus."Black Butterfly " is hard hitting, with a forceful and aggressive riff patterns, but lacks a memorable melody or chorus line. The album closes on a strong note, Ready to Fly. The sound is a bit more contemporary, albeit not as obvious as the down tuned title track. Overall a great TNT record...for the openminded. 8/10
