ANDY ROCK (Wild Rose) – This Time (2016)

ANDY ROCK (Wild Rose) - This Time (2016) full
HERE

ANDY ROCK, guitarist and founder member of AORsters Wild Rose, just released his second solo album “This Time“. Andy is at charge of all instruments except the lead vocals and the drums, and wrote all of the songs on his “This Time” except 2 tracks in which Dirty Haris (Wild Rose) helped him with the lyrics.

Having the excellent David A. Saylor doing all lead vocals elevates “This Time” above the bar, additionally the presence of a ‘real’ drummer in Vaggelis Domanos (ex Wild Rose) results into an album with an awesome sound and a true ’80s AOR feel.
Just think a mix of Wild Rose and David A. Saylor solo albums… you can’t go wrong, this is quality stuff.

Such magical tracks as the first 3 of ‘What Does It Take’, ‘Give Me A Reason’ and ‘You’re Gone’ should be more than enough to put a big smile on your face, plenty of melodic riffs, synth atmospheres, smooth vocals and catchy choruses.

But honestly, the entire album is a pure AOR eargasm to die for.
‘Promises’ sounds like a lost Strangeways track, ‘Don’t Say Goodbye’ comes straight from the FM / Overland book (the multi-layered chorus is amazing) while if you need a little melodic rock punch then ‘Once in a Lifetime’ will shake your Eighties body.

An so on… “This Time” is a pure ’80s AOR / Melodic Rock little gem recorded 2016.
Yes, Andy Rock has created here an album that smells ‘future classic’ all over. I mean, it’s even better than the last Wild Rose / David A. Saylor albums, and that’s saying a lot.
You need this one in your collection. Go and buy it with your eyes closed… and your ears wide open to enjoy this contemporary classy AOR pearl.
