Hardline - Shout (CD digipak)

HARDLINE and their new album "Shout", actually according to statistics the 108th (!) album in which exceptional vocalist Johnny Gioeli (e.g. AXEL RUDI PELL) is involved in, as usual delivers powerful and timeless hard rock with huge choruses. Dynamic tracks like "Rise Up" oder "Shout" could have been on the legendary 1992 debut "Double Eclipse", though. The musically stripped down ballad "Glow" is a highlight, too. Pretty remarkable, too, is the surprising SCORPOINS cover "When You Came Into  My Life". HARDLINE never disappoints! (MS)
