Dannie Damien – The Boxer and the Boozer (2009)

Front

 “The Boxer And The Boozer” is the third attempt by the Italian Dannie Damien to conquer the AOR scene. In the previous albums had quite a bit of the need to retract to harsh criticism. And also have to say the same, it will not happen to him better now with the third string. Of course, the guy has quite a knack with regard to the AOR tunes and roots.

[spoiler]In contrast, however, a broad front to competitors who have managed to date again and again to push him aside. Why? Now everything in order. The lines of work are not bad and can also pay a good mood. The songs are laden with a strong survior parallel universe into the race, if you are there at any time, the water can reach even the great giants of melodic rock. Consequently bad? No, not the lines and go with the parallels quite well into the ear, but at no time Innovative. Rather, it indulges his models too strong, a little more independence would have been appropriate here definitely, especially because it is already the third long iron. Another shortcoming is the too smooth polished production. On one side of the Axschwinger eagerly indulges his work and gambles loose very good Solis from the magic skin. On the other hand, are very clicky drums, and I’m at a different place and not quite sure whether it is not a drum machine (Angelo Sasso is you;-)). But about the perched so pinschige Keyboard, since a seemingly bad at one point or another.[/spoiler]

Conclusion: Now that the storm and the revolution will definitely stay out with their third album. Melodic Rock With all due respect, the concoction was simply provided with a gurgling sound. It may well be some moments that are not so bad. In viewed broadly, but there against the odds of first-class AOR bands apply anything.
