Work Of Art - "Artwork" (2008, Frontiers)

Nth supergroup Army of the Frontiers, the WET are composed by Robert Sall, guitarist Work Of Art (or "W" of name), Erik Martensson, bassist Eclipse (the "E") and none other than Jeff Scott Soto, who has lent her voice to countless artists (Journey, Panther, Trans Syberian Orchestra, Takara, Human Clay, Axel Rudi Pell, Humanimal, Yngwie Malmsteen, Eyes ,...) and ultimately militates in Talisman (the "T."). This first work of WET reveals the surprise of the year, one of those albums you do not expect that you lie down and from the first listen. Of course, there is always around the usual Criticón they wanted more, that they take it over the sound of modernity, which boycotted the WET for the sole super-group status.

Let them lose, "WET" is an album of classic melodic hard rock, but of course updated to today's standards with regard to the sound and production. The technical execution is superb, but the technique is subservient totally to the songwriting never expire stain to soloists. The WET is a band, and being composed of three strong individuality does not affect the final result that comes out compact and homogeneous. "It 's hard with Journey that I realized if I stayed with them," Soto of this statement sums up perfectly what I have so far tried to explain a thousand words.

's amazing how a project on the quiet, almost as a joke turned out to be the cornerstone of dell'AOR year 2009. Be enchanted by the class of the cover and step play, the first three parts will be enough to make you understand the value of this album, otherwise, if you're picky like me, be warned: do not stop listening to the first surface of the disc you'll see the beauty in all its majesty from the third onwards. Not that the disc is difficult to understand, but there are many facets of the project. Analyze them together. "Invincible" is impossible not to sing out loud, with his writing and his considerable rhythmic symphonic component that helps to drag the listener into a vortex whose solo is the icing on the cake as simple as refined shades almost classical. By the way, but how long Soto did not sing so well? Welcome back Jeff! Following is singolone "One Love" that, do not worry, there is a cover of U2 or neither of the Blue, but a semi-acoustic ballad simply overwhelming that knows a lot of Journey. One of the most beautiful songs ever sung by Soto. The chorus is a simple one, but from the outlet immediately.
"Brothers In Arms" has an original riff and a fantastic chorus that candidates for the song at the palm of best episode of the album. Lively and atmospheric, in short, just perfect. After the burning of triplet
departure follows "Comes Down Like Rain", power ballad that lets you catch your breath with its breadth and its hushed atmosphere that only in the chorus gives way to an explosion of emotion from true masters.
"Running From The Heartache" is the perfect fusion of Journey and Talisman. Again atmosphere ball of what just close your eyes to imagine on stage to sing in front of thousands of people. Do not do it in the car could be dangerous. Spectacular
also "I'll Be There", in which we increase the pace to get a piece that would envy the best Danger Danger!
Not to mention "Damage Is Done! Heavy guitars and delicate piano will introduce you to a bridge and a chorus very rhythmic Europe. Crazy, we are the seventh song, and there is not even a shadow of a stop! There is a note out of place, there's a song that does not involve or do not drag!
fact we proceed with the crackling "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is", which shows us Soto finally a bit 'more "pissed off" that will accompany us in the most classic hard rock track on the record.
"One Day At A Time" is also a power ballad from the hair-raising, this time from the Gotthard flavor, so to speak. Keep on hand a girlfriend / boyfriend or your, if you're at the concert, glli lighters. Sconsigliatissima who has just left with the boyfriend / girlfriend.
Go back to the grind hard rock with the beautiful "Just Go", with its symphonic and epic riffs halfway between the first and Malmsteen, once again, the Journey, but with much more energy.
"My Everything" will melt you with its enchanting melodies and the incredible performance Soto. If she came out thirty years ago would probably now a classic that has climbed the charts all over the world. Closing
entrusted to the power ballad "If I Fall", clearly of Journey from the first notes. We say that the statement was first cited Soto fits perfectly.
Not a bad song. Finally an 'appetite' (for those who do not understand, go and read the first lines of the review of "Chinese Democracy" by Guns N 'Roses, was published in May 2009).
best record of 2009? Maybe. Best hard hard rock / AOR in 2009? Definitely.
Fiondatevi to buy it before it runs out.
