REVOLUTION SAINTS - "Rise"

REVOLUTION SAINTS - "Rise"

Aldrich, Castronovo and Blades return at the scene of the crime. This time they re more on the safe side with an album that is high tech AOR for the masses. The pros of their new work, excellent musical skills and guitar work, great performances, classy stuff. The cons, polished to the bone, lacks the flame that makes the real stand out albums. Besides a couple of songs like "Rise" and "Higher" the rest is exactly what we been waiting for. A mix of JOURNEY and DAMN YANKEES best moments with great guitar work and flawless vocals. What is missing is the flame, the inspiration that fuels a song to launch in to the universe of the classic hits. The album sounds more like a product that musicians of their status could come up easily in a weekend. Enjoyable and equally easy forgettable , not too mention too much overproduced.
