Midlands Rocks talk Cranston

midlandsrocks

Brian from Midlands Rocks has written some nice words about the Cranston album. You can read the full review here. Some quotes:

  • What theyโ€™ve done here, for the most part at least, is create an AOR album in a manner that will resound with genre aficionados.
  • Producer, Sabu adorns most tracks โ€“ most notably, โ€˜See You On The Other Sideโ€™ and โ€˜Queen Of Painโ€™ with a cavalcade of punchy, dramatic keyboards and high-octane riffs
  • The classy โ€˜Double Troubleโ€™ (which rises to a vertiginous chorus) and โ€˜You Oughta Knowโ€™, a major-key stomp, stand out due to their clever use of call&response, using the backing vocal as lead, an old Mutt Lange trick.
  • It all might be rooted in nostalgia, an homage to a time when the worldโ€™s charts and radios were dominated by bands such as Journey, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon and so forth, but most of the time anyway, it works.

Thank you Brian!
