\"\"<\/a>I heard on the TV or a movie or something that if you don’t have anything nice to say you shouldn’t say it at all. Well considering all I’ve got to say is nice things then you’re safe Mr Bach.<\/p>\n

It’s been 4 long years since we’ve had an album from Sebastian and this new one is his first on his new home at Frontiers Records.\u00a0 What I love about Sebastian is while many of his colleagues from the 80’s & 90’s are still making albums and still touring, none of them hold a candle to Bach\u2019s vocals. They were, still are and will hopefully always remain pristine. In other words I could listen to Sebastian sing any day over say 98% of his counter parts and his pipes definitely don’t need cleaning unlike others I won’t name.<\/p>\n

\u2018Kicking & Screaming\u2019 is of course the name of the album and also lead single and you pretty much know what you’ve got yourself in for as soon as it begins. This album is going to kick ass. It’s heavy, it’s loud, it’s obvious that Sebastian is passionate about these songs. \u2018My Own Worst Enemy\u2019 is not a Lit cover, but a song that should and hopefully will be a single, with a great catchy chorus and driving force, \u2018Tunnel Vision\u2019 which features guitarist John 5 is a riff driven monster and is an early tip for best on ground.\u00a0 \u2018Dance On Your Grave\u2019 hits a groove that has you not only banging your head but also tapping your foot, now I know that\u2019s hard to do at the same time but trust me, once you master it, it\u2019s not that hard. What I\u2019m loving about this is that Sebastian isn\u2019t scared to make an album that has some fuckin\u2019 balls.\u00a0 Will it get radio play?\u00a0 Probably not.\u00a0 Does he care?\u00a0 Probably not.\u00a0 It\u2019s just refreshing to hear an album from an 80\u2019s icon (for lack of a better word) with some grunt.<\/p>\n

Uh oh, I think we maybe have a new favourite\u2026 \u2018I\u2019m Alive\u2019 is about to hit power ballad status, anyone that knows me knows that I\u2019m a sucker for a good power ballad and bam\u2026 thanks Sebastian! Big fan of this one indeed.\u00a0 As I put down my lighter, well actually it was blown out by the massive guitars that just started \u2018Dirty Power\u2019 we are well back in rockin\u2019 territory, that continues yet again with \u2018Live The Life\u2019 and I\u2019m actually finding hard to fault this album at this point. I wasn\u2019t looking to at all, in fact I\u2019ve been pumped for this album for months and to hear that it\u2019s this good, I\u2019m stoked. Another big rock ballad in \u2018Dream Forever\u2019 in my opinion not as good as the last one but still kicked ass.\u00a0 \u2018One Good Reason\u2019 brings out Sebastian\u2019s best scream as well as some bitchin\u2019 harmony vocals in the chorus, \u2018Lost In The Light\u2019 has a riff as chunky as a winter soup and the album rounds out with actually the least heaviest song of the album in \u2018Wishin\u2019.\u2019\u00a0 Would I have finished it with this one?\u00a0 Nope, I do like it but this sounds like it should be on a soundtrack of a movie rolling over the credits, so in essence maybe it was a perfect end if I\u2019ve just coined this a song for the credits ha ha.<\/p>\n

In closing, there\u2019s no need or reason to compare this to whatever he has done before, in fact forget the past, well, enjoy the past but look to the future and enjoy the fact that one of the greatest rock voices of my (our, dependant on who you are) generation is still making records!\u00a0 This album is killer and I hope people will give it the chance it deserves, if I still had a CD stacker this wouldn\u2019t come out of it, BUT it\u2019s not 1992 anymore.\u00a0 Remember that\u2026<\/p>\n
