4.0 out of 5 stars sounds good to me..., August 2, 2007

Ok,I'm not sure whether this is hard rock,soft metal,classic rock or melodic rock. But whatever you wish to term it,there are few vocalists that can take you there as well as JLT can.Whether it is with Rainbow,Yngwie J Malmsteen,Sunstorm,or whatever incarnation that he chooses to release his latest music in,JLT delivers.If you are a fan of good old rock'n'roll,you could do a lot worse than JLT. Also,be sure to check out Sunstorm if possible. You'll be glad that you did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Melodic Rock at It's Best, July 23, 2007

This is Turner's 10th solo album to date. Don't let the number scare you. When his last project 'Sunstorm' hit the store shelves in late 2006, fans like myself, were not only pleasantly surprised at the outcome of that recording, but we also encouraged Turner to release more material like this.

So, as a result is the release of this CD. Sure for some fans, it may not be "completely" like his 9th solo effort 'The Usual Suspects' (released in early 2005) which was more hard-edged like 'JLT' (2003) or 'Slam' (2001), but for most of us who are still trying to discover 'great' music, but cannot hear it on a mainstream radio station; Turner's CD provides just the answer for anyone who chooses to buy this CD and listen to it, in its entirety.

One thing you can always count on with Turner is his strong vocal prowess. He is able to carry you through this sort of 'musical journey', as I call it, because of the array of varied material he records for these solo efforts that will surely make any longtime fan or NEW one for that matter, want to HEAR MORE from this legendary artist.

Nevertheless, for all those ney-sayers out there; tracks like "Second Hand Life", "Stroke of Midnight", and "Cruel" for example, just as easily could have made it on 'The Usual Suspects' as well.

Two of the most noteable tracks on this CD are "Your Love Is Life" and my personal favorite, "Blood Red Sky". From the guitar intro, to the driving drum pattern, to the arabian style melody - this track is definitely the 'highlight' of this CD. However with that said, let's not forget the ballad "In Your Eyes" or other tracks like "Got Me Where You Want Me" or "Two Lights". All these tracks are different in their musical style and approach. Like I said before, this CD contains something for EVERYBODY!

Check it out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rock not Hard, July 3, 2007

I only give this new album by JLT 3 stars, because I was a bit disoppointet 'bout it...I exspected something like a follow up to "Usual Suspect",(my favourit) but it has alot of similarities between the songs. This is a rock cd, not hard rock, as for many of Joe Lynn Turner albums, the variety of rock and metal are different from each album he makes. Rescue You was poppy rock, Holy Man metal, The self acclaimed JLT rock and Usual Suspect a bit of pop/blues and hard rock.. However still this "Second hand life" a must for fans:-)

Not second hand music.. Quality:-)
