5 out of 5 stars They Did It Again.......2002-01-27

Gotthard, a superstar melodic rock band from Switzerland made another outstanding album also one of the finest in 2001. Their last album "Open" in 1999 churned out excellent songs such as "Let It Rain", "Blackberry Ways", "Want You In" "Cheat & Hide" and "Peace Of Mind" which are no doubt highlights of their 10 year career. "Homerun" released in 2001 is another stellar living up to the album title "Homerun" and its title art cover image of "Boomerang". It is what "When Seconds Count" is to "Vital Signs" using my Survivor analogy.

Wun Ga-Li a short prelude having a boomerang sound at the beginning is followed by excellent rock anthem "Everything Can Change" American music fans may have been missing for years. Next track "Take It Easy" shows Power Station(sounding a bit like "Get It On") styled Europian rock. "Heaven" and "Lonely People" are great ballads that can easily become a huge radio hits. "Come Along", one of my favorites, is another case of addictive pop rock. And the title track Homerun wraps up the album flashing back past rock hits and those of their own at the last part.

Essential for 80's area rock fans that like Survivor, Bon Jovi, Night Ranger, Two Fires and Giant. American release is desperately awaited. Also check Japan-exclusive ballad collection coming really soon.
