Before The Rain / Perfect Storm - After The Rain World Tour 1991

Just recently Nelson presented their comeback album Lightning Strikes Twice, now they offer Before The Rain and Perfect Storm - After The Rain World Tour. Before The Rain isn't a re-release of their highly successful debut album After The Rain, it's the demos and left-overs! And that's what makes this albums so interesting, coz the demo versions slightly differ from the After The Rain versions. And the left-overs give a good idea about Nelson in their early days. Sure, the sound quality can't keep up with nowadays standards, but the demos were polished and so you get 80's arena rock with an authentic sound. Matt and Gunnar Nelson first offer songs which made it onto their debut, but in a different order.

Some might remember the blonde twins from the late 80's / early 90's when songs off After The Rain were played frequently at MTV. Later they seemed to vanish, at least in Europe you didn't hear much about the Nelson twins, even if they frequently released albums til the turn of the century. The ballad To Get Back To You features Steve Lukather on guitar, but the symphonic ballad wouldn't need a Steve Lukather to shine. But he ennobles the track with his unique guitar play. Take Me There is bringing back the Bon Jovi sound, but it's nothing bad. And it's not like Nelson sound like copycats! Another good-time rocker is In It For The Money which has a slight country touch, a bit like Jon Bon Jovi at Blaze Of Glory times... Well, the Nelson twins offer another album full of melodic rock tune, but more mature then back in the days. They keep the late 80's hard rock / AOR alive. |
