Today’s review is of English AOR band Nitrate’s upcoming new album, out on July 30th.
This band really brings to mind great AOR and Hard Rock bands of the 80s, especially Europe, Bon Jovi and Def Leppard. Although the lyrics are absolutely generic and predictable and the music doesn’t bring much innovation, the classic formula for good and soft Rock is absolutely mastered.
Filled with catchy choruses, walls of synth that merge as one with the guitars and love-struck highs and lows in each song, this album includes some pretty good songs that will stick in your head for a long while. My personal highlights are “Why Can’t You Feel My Love” and “Addicted”, but most tracks from this album are memorable, spanning from power ballads to upbeat Hard Rock.
I recommend this album to fans of AOR and Hard Rock. My rating is of 8/10.
