Customer Reviews:

Full of the kind of hard rocking simplicity that has not been done in this sort of style since AC/DC's Highway To Hell.......2006-07-19

Baltimoore are back with their 8th studio album and its a killer! Fanatical sees vocalist Bjorn Lodin delivering the best songs of the bands career to date with the vibe being up-tempo and full of the kind of hard rocking simplicity that has not been done in this sort of style since AC/DC's Highway To Hell over 25 years ago!

Lodin's gritty earthy vocals carry each hook to magnificent effect over the loud twin guitar work of Mankan Sedenberg and Stefan Bergstrom who delivery such majestic riffs its impossible not to crack huge smile. The guitar duo keep things in the finest Young brothers tradition using counterpoints and alternative voicings to make the music jump out the speakers. This is further aided by a super powerful honest producton that begs to be played loud.

The title track Fanatical opens the album and sets the tone with its pure guitar tones, great vocal delivery and tight as hell rhythm section of bassist Weine Johansson and drummer Hempo Hilden. My Number 1 is next, reminiscent of AC/DC's Back In Black only with a far stronger chorus (try getting this out of your head for hours after) and a great guitar solo. Outer Me gets a little heavier with more aggressive riff but again has great vocal melody lines and delivery from all involved. Next up is Give Me What You've Got, a track that has radio play all over it and another chorus to die for. A Set Sight Of Dreams sees a slightly psychedelic vibe enter thanks to the wah pedal work but the albums trademark sound is still here in abundance. The album continues along with the quality level not faltering at all with even more brash riffs and infectious hooks and choruses and a dirty blues vibe in places. My favourite track comes in the guise of You Touch Me And I'm Healing which has such a unique chorus that it deserves radio play by the bucket load.

Its difficult to do my normal track by track analysis for Fanatical as it really is such a strong collection of tracks its difficult to single out individual moments. Fanatical has the goods from start to finish to bring Baltimoore to a much wider audience beyond their native European fan base and I can quite easily state you will find no finer pure Hard Rock recorded anywhere in 2005 - BUY NOW!!
