WOW! That's the only way to describe the latest offering from Gotthard.If you are in to the melodic rock scene,you can do no better than these guys. I just can't believe that I had never heard them until recently. After hearing this,I have since picked up their Debut,1 life 1 soul,Human zoo,and a couple of others and have yet to be disappointed. If you like TNT,Icon,House of Lords,Whitesnake,or any bands of that Genre,then this is the band for you.If you only purchase 1 cd this year(doubtful,I know),get this one.It's that good!

5.0 out of 5 stars Should Be As Big As Def Leppard!!!, January 24, 2006

What A great CD! No Filler, Just Killer. I've Thought this band was great since 1994, But they get No respect, at least here in the states. I know if the CD's were more available and cheaper here they would be all over the place selling out concerts and CD's. Anyway, get this CD if you like melodic, catchy, and smart hard rock. This is one of the few import CD's that's worth it for the price, and then you'll be hooked on getting there back catalogue.

Look, don't let their name mislead you. The Gotthard Pass and tunnel through the alps are landmarks in Switzerland, so they are paying homage to their country, which is part of their charm. I was lucky enough to catch a show of GOTTHARD'S in Germany when they were on tour last year with DEEP PURPLE. It is easy to say they were amazing, but until you hear for yourselves the depth and quality of their musicianship, you can't even begin to understand. It is like they are a rock band that perform with the integrity of a symphony orchestra. And now that I have bought this CD and DOMINO EFFECT(their newest)and MADE IN SWITZERLAND(which includes both CD and DVD of a live concert in Zurich, you can't stop watching it, especially the bonus videos of the set up for the filming of the live concert and the making of the video for their single: ANYTIME, ANYWHERE), I am even more impressed. What I saw at the concert and on the DVD is exactly what you hear on the CD's! Steve Lee is a phenomenon - he could sing any song. He has a voice like Freddie Mercury with a range like an opera or Broadway star. He also has tremendous personality and energy. Leo Leoni is a virtuoso guitar player; some of his solos make you want to cry (okay, yes, I am a girl), and he has great fun onstage, but more than that, he produces their albums, and he and Steve Lee write most of their songs (all in English), which in itself is amazing considering their native languages are Italian and German. Hena, the "like a drum machine" drummer and Freddie, the other brilliant guitar player and Nicolo, a stunning keyboard player are all so good, they make the current popular US and British bands look like need to take a few music lessons. Yeah, it's 80's & 90's melodic rock, but GOTTHARD really does it best; they put you deep inside the music and move you, whether they're playing hard rock or a ballad. And I don't care if they are in their forties - after fifteen years of touring and making records, they have perfected their art - they ROCK! If they toured here, word of mouth would have the concerts sold out in minutes. And everyone would experience one of the best night of their lives!If you buy LIPSERVICE, beware, you will want to buy their other CD's!
