Customer Reviews:
If you're a fan of REO Speedwagon, Styx, Toto, or Foreigner... .......2005-07-28
The Good
"Here's to You" has a grandiose keyboard introduction that gives way to one of the best AOR sounding keyboard/guitar progressions. Robbie's vocals are powerfully melodic and make quite a statement. Robbie struts more of his vocal prowess during the vocal dominant opening and over-the-top bridge of "Edge of the World". I can't forget to mention Brian's catchy hooks and tuneful backing melodies.
"Stranger to Love" is a piano heavy power ballad that starts off slow and tender, but builds in tempo as the emotion grows. "Staying Power" is accented by crunchy arena rock riffage. The lyrics are easy to follow. It's about your right to rock, so join the fun! You really start to get a feel for Blanc Faces as AOR giants by the time "Beneath This Heart" rolls around. This particular track is a perfect example of what the genre is all about. "We Will Rise" is and inspirational anthem about the events of September 11th.

Nothing
The Verdict
This may be Blanc Faces first official album, but they guys have been in the music industry for 20+ years. This is reflected in their flawless songwriting, production and delivery. If you're a fan of REO Speedwagon, Styx, Toto, or Foreigner (or a rock music fan in general); you can't afford to pass this album up. WOW!
