TED POLEY / COLLATERAL DAMAGE (2006)

This is the debut album of the legendary Ted Poley of Danger Danger! In "Collateral Damage" Poley is collaborate with his long time time friend Vic Rivera and they are releasing an album that contains some great melodic hard rock/Aor anthems that every single fan of Danger Danger, Adriangale or Poley's works should own!

The musicianship is top notch and for this effort Poley achieves to combine the Danger Danger spirit with a powerfull AOR punch and the result is this brilliant album! "Yeah You Want It" which opens the album is the perfect opener and a great appetizer of what's coming-up next! "Endgame" is the heaviest tune here while "Maybe" is an AOR classic that features Poley's amazing vocal performances. This track also features Bill Leverty of Firehouse in the leading solo. "Good Enough" seems like a Danger Danger leftover track and "Let Go" is a sentimental ballad with a nice melody!

Bottom line is that this is a superb release full of great tracks with catchy choruses, a tight musicianship and a huge guitar work. As I said above if you are a fan of Danger Danger, Adriangale, Def Leppard this album is a must have for your collection!!
