Ramos-Hugo / The Dream (2008)


This is another highly anticipated release for the melodic rock/AOR lovers and for sure it is not a disappointing one. Hugo is the vocalist of the 80's bands Valentine and Open Skyz, a vocalist with a charismatic smooth voice and well known for his comparison to legendary vocalist Steve Perry. Ramos is the guitarist of The Storm, Two Fires and recently of the U.S. band Hardline.
This is a great album of pure AOR/melodic rock songs full of emotional vocals by Mr. Hugo and the great guitar playing  of Josh Ramos. An album full of great melodies and perfectly balanced of up tempo rockers and some mid-tempo/ballads. Maybe this album is not a masterpiece such as the debut album of Valentine and The Storm but for sure it's very enjoyable with some great songs. Highlights of the album are :  You're Not Alone, Tomorrow ,Bring Back This Love and All That I Wanted.
8/10
