Pink Cream 69
Thunderdome
SPV/Steamhammer
2004
How fast time goes by huh? This is the ninth album of the international band (which begun as German). I would never have thought that PC69 would get over Deris’ departure, but it did and delivered some excellent albums since (check “Electrified” for example).
The band came up to be a guaranty for good records and qualitative music. And this is what we get here. An album in their usual style, with melodic yet “metallic” hard rock. PC69 has created a trademark sound, which cannot be mistaken... and the same path is followed here too. Harmonies, heavy riffs, power metal elements, amazing production, slow parts mixed with outbreaks and especially “sticky” refrains.
I find the new album the best work of the band since “Electrified” – yet always below the unreachable standards of the masterpiece “One Size Fits All”. But these days are over, so let’s enjoy a really good and interesting hard rock album of the 00s.
