While working on the design of the new Spotlight site, I jammed to nearly every album from GottHard«. And this was the 2nd in line, as with it being their second release, I listened to each one of the albums as they were released. This album has some good strong songs on it. To groovy, and soulful songs, with one Power Ballad. I mean, every band has to put out at least one power ballad, and GottHard has several that are just pure classic ballads.
This album is worth a listen, to get your feet wet, check out the samples in the Record Playlist above.
