5.0 out of 5 stars A six star CD, June 4, 2001

By 

Jennifer Sowell (Cave Junction, OR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Light at the End of the Tunnel (Audio CD)

This is an awesome disc. I like it better every time I play it -and I loved it the first time. Jeff Pilson is an incredibly versitle vocalist. From growl to velvet, he fits his vocal style to the lyric and mood of the song. Most of the disc is strong, melodic metal, but there are a few tracks that push the boundries and really make this stand out. "Sweet Release" is two minutes of pure genius - stirring lyrics backed by a string quartet that captures the mood perfectly and manages to blend in seemlessly with the rest of the album. Masterful solo's by five different guitarists give each song as distincive feel, while Pilson's strong performance on everything but drums ties it all together. A brilliant album and a must have for any fan of hard rock or heavy metal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Consistent rocker w/plenty of guests, June 12, 2007

Somewhat of a curio this one. Jeff Pilson and James Kottak rocking out on a break from their day jobs. Cool. And cool it is. Pilson takes on vox, guitar, bass and keyboards proving himself more than just some lunkhead rock dude and in fact a pretty handy allrounder - writing the whole thing too. Kottak takes care of the drumming assault and the result is a melodic rock 'n' roll record with some heavier moments like opener What Cost War and the more melodic would be represented by, say, The Night You Walked Away. The album rolls along - my gut feeling is it's best use is as a disc to throw on while crusing down the highway - and the honesty and indeed fun vibe in this project is evident.

Real interest for the lover of rock is the solid album being spiced up by a stellar cast of great six string slingers. Just check out the list - John Norum, Reb Beach, Paul Gilbert, John Levin and Richie Kotzen. Phew. Each takes a guest solo on a track except Kotzen who takes part in two tracks. Of course with a bunch of guitarists like that it will be a matter of taste who you'll like the most but for me Gilberts shredding on the funky Wrong Place Wrong Time is awesome and totally complements the songs fast and fun gallop.

Can't imagine this is ever gonna go platinum. Or gold. Or silver for that matter! But fans of straight ahead and enjoyable rock 'n' roll should pick this up. It's not too heavy and can really be played in mixed company, not even your buddies girlfriends will find this too hard to handle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good recording!!, April 14, 2003

Jeff Pilson is awesome on this cd. His vocals are out of sight. He is far more appealing than Don Dokken to me. He has great power and he really makes you want to sing with him. He wrote every song and did all his own harmonies also....smokin'!... He played his own bass tracks and also got some great guitar players including his band mate, Reb Beach. My personal favorite song was "Playing God Again". I'm not usually into all the quartet harmony singing songs although, I did really enjoy "Cast the Stone". Amazing!! This cd rocks. Highly recommended!...
