This album was released back in 2017 when Steve Lynch and Randy Rand were still in the band. Although, I don’t think there are any original members left in the band now as Randy Rand died and I guess Steve just stepped aside.
Now, if you remember the classic first three Autograph albums fondly like I do, then this will feel like a pale imitation because the songs are nowhere near as good. It totally feels like a different band and the main reason for that is the vocals. Simon Daniels is not Steve Plunkett. Another little gripe I have is the drum sound. It sounds muffled and feels as though your needle needs cleaning.
Favourite song? Mmm, well maybe Watch Me Now because the riff is pretty cool as is the guitar sound. In fact, Aerosmith comes to mind in places. You wonder if the band themselves realize that they don’t sound like Autograph because the last track is a live rendition of Turn Up the Radio, just to jog everyone’s memory.
The record is okay but far from great.
6/10 from The Grooveman.
