Talisman / Genesis (1993)

Second album for Talisman and in my opinion their best. The band continues to deliver great melodic hard rock tracks played with passion.Every song here is a gem, from the fantastic opener "Time After Time " with the very inspired riff and a killer chorus, the "Mysterious (This Time It's Serious)" again with a catchy chorus  and a genious melodic hook line to the huge "Give Me a Sign " which is one of my favourite Talisman tunes ever, to "Comin' Home " and "All or Nothing " every single track here shows of what a great band was.
Jeff Scott Soto's vocals are amazing, Fredrik Akesson's solos and riffs are glorious and inspired and Marcel Jacob(R.I.P.) was a great bass player and songwriter. Overall this is one of the best releases in melodic hard rock and a big must have for everyone!!BUY BUY BUY....
