I'm going to do
a rating system on where this c.d. will end up in my household..
1 Star.. Straight to Ebay.
2 Stars... It will sit on my "older" c.d. rack to collect dust.
3 Stars.... It will stay in my "listen to rack" to go through every once in a
while.
4 Stars.... It will be in my computer while I'm working.
5 Stars.. It will be cranking through the house.. and car.. my girlfriend will
have to get used to it..
ATTRACTION 55
by D.J. Spidey
Review: I had never heard of this band, or any of the music, so I was going to set it a side and wait till I got caught up. But instead I threw it in the c.d. player w/4 other c.d.'s, sooner or later it would come on, well after sitting through local bands, unsigned bands, thrash, and a soundtrack, I notice a really good sounding c.d. that keeps popping up.. Well it's Attraction 65, and it's amazing! This is what the melodic rock music has been missing for years... This is it.. full sounding, perfect production, great catchy lyrics, and arrangements, that make me want to hear the song again as soon as it ends.. There is no "heavy" tracks on here.. as far as musically, but lyrically, and emotionally, they are all heavy.. This is a must for all fans of melodic rock... The only reason it didn't get a 5 star rating is too many of the songs remind me too much of someone else.. One song "Eden" sounds exactly like U2's "With or Without You" and some songs sound like Bon Jovi, while others have a Bruce Springsteen sound.. otherwise this is one of my favorites yet this year.. if you love melody driven, acoustic rock, straight ahead no frills rock n roll.. this is it.. period.
Favorite Song: "In Another Life" is one of my favorites.. just gets me in the heart every time.. "Roll On", "Strong", most of the c.d.
Least Favorite: I don't dislike any of the songs.. but if I had to pick one "Eden" only cause it sounds too much like U2, and I'm not a big U2 fan..
Booklet: AMAZING... this is how they all should be, it's practically a book.. there is a picture of each member of the band, along with lyrics to all the songs, and 2 pages of credits and thanks...and a group picture in the center..well done!!
