Eyes (SE) - Auto-Magic (CD digipak)

EYES (SE) play melodic hard rock and they are able to continue the path of the debut "Perfect 20/20" easily. Vocalist Peter Andersson offers a great range and is reminiscent of eighties metal at times ("Soldier Of Love") but can also sound pretty emotional ("Until The End Of Time") when needed. "Mysterious Ways", the first single, provides a very good first impression, though. "Auto-Magic" is a beautifully rocking melodic record slightly aside the usual paths because of the rougher production which goes back to guitarist Joakim Sandberg and due to versatile songwriting.
