XYZ
"Letter to God"
(MTM / SPV Records - provided by Nordic Metal))
- 3½ out of 5 points -
XYZ I will label as the typical L.A Hard rock outfit. Half and half mixed by heavy stuff like Kingdom Come or Dokken and softer/mellower parts like Enuff'z Nuff or Mr. Big. A few great rocking tracks like "Tango", "Letter to God" and "What's on your mind" …. Which would have led to 4½ points but some of the mellow stuff I don't like too much, but maybe it's added to harvest a bigger audience - anyway I can get used to it. Also good old Vinnie Appice appears on drums on "Letter to God", which is a song based on the tragedy of Terry Ilous (vocals) loss of his son last year.
