HOUSTON-"IV"

 

Sweden rocks, rules ,reigns etc. Another album, another success and West Coast AOR lovers can laid back and enjoy their martini along the album. From SURVIVOR to Robert Tepper, melodic lines, keyboards, sing along choruses, razor sharp guitars and heartbroken lyrics about lost loves and inner strength "Hero" are all over the album. When you have songs like "You re still the woman", "Heartbreaker", "I will not give in despair". "Such is love" and "A lifetime in a moment" there are not enough words to describe the feelings created when you listen to them. 

 

 

Sugar coated, gold gilded AOR a mix between SURVIVOR, TRILLION, 101 SOUTH and FOREIGNER, this album delivers like a true IV. On the contrary to their  80s origins, the more they mature, the better albums they release, unlike "Rocky' and 'Rambo' series. So rent a convertible, a big boobs escort, a yacht and live the album to the limit.
