IMPACT- An album for anyone ready for the return of real rock and roll. This music is well written and arranged. Dave Victor's vocal ability really makes these songs stand out from the sweet "Janine" to the rock of a "Riot Goin' On". You will not need to fast forward past ANY song on this album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Velocity Has Some Real "Impact"
This unknown surprise actually delivers some good old fashioned metal/rock that I thought to be pretty much dead since around 1990. David Victor's efforts on this debut from Velocity helped make this a worthwhile buy for me.

David Victor's lead vocals are good and his guitar work is solid. There's some hard at-ya stuff with You Don't Amaze Me Anymore, Love Is...

As a songwriter for Riverside Entertainment and an avid fan of REAL rock music, I can tell you with all confidence that you will not be disappointed in the purchase of this CD. Def Leppard needs to sign this band as their opening act.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Impact, what a fitting name for the year's best release., January 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Impact (Audio CD)
Impact is one of the best recordings, not only in the last year, but ever. If you are looking for a rock and roll sensation, not an alternative wuss boy sound, but a down right rock your ass off, good time, feel good recording, this is it! Definately worth twice the money you would pay to buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Ol' Wild 80's Rock's Back, December 23, 2000
This review is from: Impact (Audio CD)
If you love early Loverboy/Bon Jovi albums or Night Ranger's Dawn Patrol, you will definitely like this album. This is not hit producing albums such as those of Journey or Boston but every track is perfectly produced and this can rival great 90s masterpiece such as Hardline's Double Eclipse.

You can say this album is 80s hard rock fan's paradise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock is Alive!, June 16, 2001
By 
kindheartedwolf (Lubbock, Texas United States (Home of Buddy Holly)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Impact (Audio CD)
These guys can Rock and they do it very well. Velocity is a great name for their CD because it's definitely high Impact! They take off with the amazing, You Don't Amaze Me Anymore! Riot Going On just rocks with great guitar work. Supernatural lover is a sweet power ballad. Julia Ann is fun and full speed rocker with a killer beat, hooks and awesome vocals from David Victor! Janine is a good rock song, although it has less impact than the other songs, more of a love song. She's Been Around pulls you in with sharp hooks. More Than Tonight is a power ballad with a lot of power. Love is Dangerous is a great high velocity rock song! One Night To Midnight has it all fast driving beat, catchy hooks, excellent guitar riffs! Open Road is an instrumental that keeps you in the fast lane. If you like Lover Boy, Night Ranger, and Scorpions you will enjoy this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Velocity Impact Rocks, April 23, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Impact (Audio CD)
This CD totally rocks!! The music on here is great. David Victor has a fantastic voice and Chris Dodge is one of the best guitar players out there. Of course we all know Pat Torpey knows his drums!! I wish this band was still together because the music is so good. The first 2 songs are my favorite for David's voice and I love Chris' guitar playing on Love is Dangerous, as well as most of the songs. This is one band who knows their stuff!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic unheard of melodic rock gem, July 19, 2001
This review is from: Impact (Audio CD)
I came across this band quite by accident while browsing the Internet in late 1997. The sound bytes on the band's web page sounded enticing, and I just had to hear more. Well, from the first time I threw this disk in my CD player, I was AMAZED. Where oh where has music like this gone? Certainly not onto the radio. In a nutshell, every track is solid to exceptional. "You Don't Amaze Me Anymore" is a fantastic rocking start to the album, and "Riot Goin On" keeps up the pace. The next track, "Supernatural Lover", is an amazing anthem, one of the best I had heard in a long time. "Janine" and "More Than Tonight" are gorgeous ballads, and "Love Is Dangerous is another anthemic highlight. Somewhere between Night Ranger and the early '90's also-obsure Hardline, with a touch of Mr. Big and other similar influences, this album is a fantastic addition to any lover of '80's hard rock music collection. You may not know these songs from the radio, but trust me--you won't be able to get the songs out of your head as much as any Def Leppard hit you heard in 1988. A true throwback to a time when rock music didn't take itself so seriously. Strongly recommended.
