Alias are a Canadian AOR supergroup, would you believe. There are members of Sheriff and Heart, so I’ll give them that. All joking aside, it’s a very good album that is high on big hooks and has loads of melody but was released at the moment of doom, so I guess they were destined for failure.
They did have a number one single in Canada and number two in the US with More Than Words Can Say, and Waiting For Love didn’t do to bad either. If you’ve read a lot of my ramblings you will know I’m not too partial to the ballad and my brain locks in to the the rockier tracks and Say What You Wanna Say is that track in this record. It’s a great uptempo rocker with a killer hook and chorus and Freddy Curci has a great set of pipes.
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
