I’ve had my eyes and ears on this Italian
power unit for some time and I do own two of their three previous discs (the
fourth is of course on my list of discs to purchase). They had my full attention
from the first time I heard their 2004 release The Road To Santiago, with their
riff-driven powerful heavy rock. Some Italian bands have a pretty strong accent
(like us Swedes sometimes do), but this power trio sounds like they were born
and bred in the American south. This album is even stronger than its predecessors!
The riffs, the power, the earthy analogue sound and the raspy vocals from
Francesco. But most of all – the songs! Ok, this may not be rocket science, but
that’s also what makes it much harder. With rocket science you’ve got way more
possibilities and ways to be unique, while here you have to work with what you
got and make the best of it, which is just what Bullfrog does. Simple, classic,
but so damn good! If you grew up on the classic riffs of the seventies with the
bluesy roots still intact, for heaven’s sake, don’t miss out on this one!
