You have to give Tim Christensen his flowers. He is a great musician and writes some really good melodies. It's just a shame that, to me the sound is just 80's hard rock, but with better riffs, and that is just not a style of music I vibe with at all.

A marvelous achievement in the art of songwriting. I love it, have amazing memories attached to it, and unless i am with my friends from ... read more
