Their comeback album was released shorter than a year ago, and now Player is ready to release some new material upon the world. This is their sixth album, despite going back to 1977 to trace the roots of this band.
It’s not a spectacular album though. I mean none of the songs immediately give you that whoaw feeling, but after listening to the album a few times, you do have to admit there are far worse albums than this that have seen the light of day. Each song on this album has been thought of, by which I mean there’s a perfect balance between melody and power. As a matter of fact this is an album that could easily please both melodic rock fans as well as pop fans. Peter Beckett’s vocal performances aren’t bad either, and one one or two of the songs vocals are even handled by Ronn Moss, who also does a nice job.
If you love AOR, with a tinge of West Coast, this might be something for you.
