The singer has an overall good voice, even if I would prefer a rougher one, and fits perfectly with the band's sound. In some parts reminds me of Axl Rose's voice in his earlier Guns N' Roses works (just listen 'Poison Dreams' )!! The guitar work is very good and the duo of Ethan Chionos and Spiros Foussekis is delivering some strong riffs and solos! But the thing that I like most here are the keyboards. The keys are givin the extra 'push' here and takes the band a step further. The band seems tight and with albums like this and, of course, with a lot of work, their future looks bright!
The appearance of Jeff Scott Soto in "Never Let You Go", as the lead singer, is surely a positive point for Danger Angel. "Till The End Of Time" is a superb mid-tempo track and features Peggy Zarou who sings an amazing duet with Jimmy Cage. Other highlights here are the great opener tune of " Com’ On Rock Me" , the commercial honky-tonk piano/guitar driven track of "Hangover" and "I’ll Be There For You".
Overall this is a very interesting release. It's melodic, heavier at moments, it has big hooks and choruses, an 80's feeling, a superb guest (J.S.Soto) and a solid production. For fans of early Bon Jovi, Takara but, also, some Dokken fans, this is a must have album. For the others this is a big chance to discover a very talented band. Check them 'out.
