5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended..'OPEN' your world to Gotthard!!, January 2, 2004

Gotthard is truely one of the world's best kept secrets. Their brand of 'late 70's era' rock contains superb songwriting that is played to perfection by these five guys from Switzerland. Frequently augmented by smartly textured keyboards and ultra-catchy singalong choruses,their songs harken back to early Foreigner/Journey(w/Perry)and other huge popular rock acts of the late 70's/early 80's-long before the biz got waaaay too commercial (e.g.:Hair Band era).Starting off with a couple rather 'heavy rock' releases, the band switched gears for their 3rd album ( titled simply 'G') and has since releasesd 3 more superb discs,of which 'Open' is the 4th.These guys put the word 'INFECTIOUS' back into rock & roll! After one listen to this disc,you won't be able to keep it from your player! Get this NOW-and while you're at it,check out their other great albums: 'G','Homerun',& 2003's 'Human Zoo'.

Once again Gotthard releases another quality product for the rocker in all of us.It's a shame that no one outside of Europe hears about these guys,but maybe that will change,if only people will give it a chance.Next to Lipservice,this may be their finest hour.Buy it already.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finest Melodic Rock Band From Switzerland Reveals, May 5, 2001

By 

susumu-5 (Japan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Open (Audio CD)

Wow...I heard so many talks that they are great because I live in Japan where they're very popular. Gotthard is a veteran melodic hard rock band from Switzerland.

My first impression is their sound is like Bon Jovi with Firehouse vocal. So if you like the titles I have reviewed so far you will definitely love this. Their excellent songwriting which can appeal to large publlic is part of their appeal rivaling Jim Peterik(ex Survivor),Jack Blades(Night Ranger),Neal Schon(Journey),Richie Sambora(Bon Jovi) and Ule W.Ritgen(Fair Warning).

Recommended tracks are so many but particularly I like Want You In and Blackberry Ways.

Recommended for wide variety of 80's rock fans and melodic hard rock fans.
