I ║ │ │║ really loved their first cd so I had to get this ║ │ │║ one. I was expecting and hoping for that same ║ │ │║ sound or at least something I would like as ║ │ │║ much. I was let down. Although this newer one is ║ │ │║ somewhat harder, it is really lacking in ║ │ │║ character and melody. I am listening a second ║ │ │║ time and find that the first track, "Angry", is ║ │ │║ alright, but I can live without it sad to say. ║ │ │║ The second track reminds me of something a weak ║ │ │║ bar band might play, very little melodic quality ║ │ │║ and no noticable lyrics. I just clicked passed ║ │ │║ track three entitled "So What", my thoughts ║ │ │║ exactly. I'm about to do so with track four too. ║ │ │║ Awful! When I say this pizza is bland, I mean it ║ │ │║ almost makes you feel sick!! "When I'm Gone" is ║ │ │║ a sad attempt at a ballad. It's fair but not one ║ │ │║ to stick in my memory sad to say.Track six, ║ │ │║ Pass! Track seven - all I can say is boring!! ║ │ │║ Track eight is no better. Track number nine has ║ │ │║ some decent riffs more along the line of Ratt ║ │ │║ and Arcade 1, but I am seeing a lot of ║ │ │║ Alternative influence on this particular cd and ║ │ │║ it saddens me folks. I loved Ratt and was very ║ │ │║ into Arcade 1 and as for harder stuff I like ║ │ │║ Disturbed, Pantera and a lot of different music ║ │ │║ so I am not too fussy or simple minded on the ║ │ │║ subject. I take rating music very seriously. On ║ │ │║ to track ten, faster tempoed song but really ║ │ │║ nothing that grabs me. On to track eleven, fast ║ │ │║ tempoed song that really isn't too bad but not ║ │ │║ something that would ever be a favorite. That ║ │ │║ was the whole cd. ║ │ │║ I'd have to say "Angry" was the most catchy tune ║ │ │║ on it. This isn't the first time I have wasted ║ │ │║ my money and it won't be the last. It's all in ║ │ │║ the name of entertainment, discovery and music!! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Ratt vocalist Stephen Pearcy,Cinderella drummer ║ │ │║ Fred Coury and the rest of Arcade return with ║ │ │║ this follow-up to their self-titled debut(see my ║ │ │║ review).If you have their first CD,'A/2' is most ║ │ │║ likely to take you by surprise.'A/2' is a lot ║ │ │║ heavier and hard-hitting.Cuts that I thought ║ │ │║ sort of stood out were the CD's single ║ │ │║ "Angry","The Move","Get Off My Back",the rocking ║ │ │║ "Chain To Me" and "Hot Racing".I've ALWAYS liked ║ │ │║ Pearcy's and Coury's fromer bands but 'A/2' does ║ │ │║ prove their can always be life after a major ║ │ │║ band's fall from glory.A decent find. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Angry [04:44] │ │ 02 - Move [04:31] │ │ 03 - So What [04:35] │ │ 04 - Get Off My Back [02:28] │ │ 05 - When I'm Gone [05:37] │ │ 06 - Welcome [03:27] │ │ 07 - Kidnapped [04:58] │ │ 08 - Chain To Me [04:13] │ │ 09 - Room With A View [05:15] │ │ 10 - Your Only Age [02:37] │ │ 11 - Hot Racin' [03:37] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [46:02 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
