A second album by an Italian hard rocking band that I’ve never heard of before and I doubt, I might again, unless they grace us with a similar attempt a couple of years from now.
 
Decidedly “second” if not “third rate”, wanna be neo-glam rock, albeit with a singer that sounds more Italian than pasta. And overcooked pasta at that. The production ain’t bad, but the singer almost comically floats above it all, not really ever sounding convincing, despite his best efforts and swagger.
 
“Fading Idol”, “Freak” and “Little Lizzy” are sort of nice tracks, but with this singing, I see em going nowhere fast. Sorry, but this is decidedly below average and the singer really drags the rest of the band down.
