Great return for these Swiss hard rockers!!!!! Also this time they hit the bulls eye!!!! Need To Believe offer to us a high quality of songs full of solid guitar riffs, great melodies and the incredible voice of Steve Lee. He drives us in a journey along a journey inside this new CD came out for Nuclear Blast / Warner and is produced by Rich Chyki (Rush, Aerosmith). |
One Team, One Spirit
(BMG - 2004)

It must be Christmas time again, coz so many best-of albums get into the stores. For fans of the band these releases are usually not that interesting, coz fans have all the albums. For people who just discovered the band it's a good chance to get a musical overlook of what the band did. Many will expect that the best-of offers just the ballads, but this is a two CD-set and one CD has the best ballads and the other the best rockers. But in this case it might be interesting for long-time fans as well, coz the Swiss rockers added 4 new songs and give an outlook for what to come. Fire And Ice was a work done for the Swiss hockey league and is an anthem-like rocker. The marching song Inside Out can be compared with She Goes Down. What About Love is a ballad and One Team, One Spirit was the official hymn of the Swiss Olympic Games team. With a piano version of Everything Can Change they show that some songs work better in a basic version. On One Life, One Soul you hear beside Steve Lee the famous Montserrat Caballé. |

After 3 years the Swiss rockers finally present their 6th album. On Homerun they follow the way they chose with Open, but the latest was way better in my opinion, even if I still miss the power they had on their first 3 releases. But it seems these days are over... The songs on Homerun are more polished, so that when you listen the second time you start singing along. Everything Can Change, Take It Easy and Come Along are catchy. Mid-tempo ones are Light In Your Eyes and Eagle. Slower, more balladesque are Heaven, Lonely People, Say Goodbye and Reason To Live. |
