On
"Adrenaline Rush" a catchy tune follows another and it clearly shows that
Michael Klein, the band’s lead guitarist and songwriter, has enormously improved
his songwriting from album to album.
None
other than singer David Reece (ex Accept, Bangalore Choir) supported the band
and substituted for Robert Soeterboek, who unfortunately was forced to step back
because of personal health reasons.
David
Reece immediately turned out to be the right choice for the band and perfectly
blends into the songs of Wicked Sensation. Already the opener "King of the
World" delivers superb hooks and melodies which reach their highlight in the
chorus while Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) can be heard together with David Reece.
Without
a break the band continues with "Same Old Situation" hich comes as a perfect
blend of Van Halen and Extreme and is full of groove. Again, Harry Hess gives
his honor and can be heard in the chorus, accompanied by Eric Ragno (Graham
Bonnet) on the keyboard.
With
"Misery" the album goes straight the way it started - delivering catchy tunes
without a break, and Michael Klein and Sang Vong prove to be the perfect guitar
duo.
Again
on "Adrenaline Rush” all the typical song styles of Wicked Sensation can be
found without the band moving away from their typical sound.
The
title track "Adrenaline Rush" delivers a real “Metal Firecracker”, for which the
band was able to sign on Mathias Dieth (ex U.D.O. guitarist) for an outstanding
guitar solo.
In
addition to their fourth “long player” the band fully relied on their producer
Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Pink Cream69) to give "Adrenaline Rush" the necessary
pressure and punch. The last song “This Time", an acoustic ballad, closes the
curtains.
