Sixth album from the German melodic rock band, who feature Michael Borman on vocals. No frills hard rock is what Jaded Heart do best like ‘Feels Like Home’ and ‘Healer’; the latter has a tasty keyboard riff running throughout the song. You can’t fault the production - check out the crisp vocals on ‘If I Lose’ (very Whitesnake in sound) and there is plenty going on musically. Slide guitar adds variety to ‘Sweet Summertime’ a bluesy workout and it breaks the tempo up well. The band play well together and Michael Borman has the powerful vocals needed for hard rock like this. Live I would think Jaded Heart rock big time!

For all fans of big hair era Whitesnake, Ten and the Scorpions. Not a classic (I’ve given it many listens!) but very enjoyable and not without it’s moments.
