It's
a great surprise this cd!!!!!! "Green" are a super-band in
which I can't but notice the presence of one of the most important names
of the Italian Melodic Hard Rock scene of 90'S ...Fabrizio Pieraccini!!!!! "Of love and Soul" is a masterpiece that mixes, with a great class, Melodic Hard-Rock, Modern Rock and a touch of Alternative Rock!!!!! Fabrizio is a great composer able to get inspirations from the class of the best Melodic Rock bands ....and I 'd say that the soul of this album is, without shadow of doubt, Aor-Hard oriented but the album gets a special sound that could be appreciated from all those who loves bands like Nickelback and Alter Bridge, but, as I said before, the class of Green makes this album a very masterpiece of Modern Hard-Rock in which Aor and progressive are perfectly mixed into an original ambient full of passion, in which the band shows us a great maturity and great ideas...All is seated with class and precision.
The
single "Receive me" gets a very involving riff and a great
refrain ...A perfect begin ...Rock from the bottom of the heart with
power and energy....Fabrizio shows us a great voice both for timbre
and extension....and the confirmation is the next song "Fight for
Truth" that seems much more similar to Modern Hard-Rock ....It's
great to notice also a shadow of Nu-metal that is perfectly mixed to the
class of their Rock.... "Do
it now" is a Power ballad that seems the less inspired song
concerning refrain , but I can't but notice the great Fabrizio's
voice!!!! A very beautiful timbre that is a able to give a special groove
to every song.
"Hate
me" is another Modern Hard-Rock single played with passion; It gets
a very powerful refrain that will be the joy of all those who likes this
style...but I can't but notice the influence of progressive music!!!
It's
incredible how the band is able to mix various kinds of style!!!!!!!! It's the time to dream and "There's no Wind" is a special mid-tempo song characterized by a great melody and a great work of rhythmic session, able to give the special touch to the song!!!!
We go on and it's time for the emotional "No Return Journey" ...what a beautiful song!!!!!! Atmospheric modern rock!!!!!!! This band shows me a great originality in every passage...the class to mix emotional keyboard a very great refrain and some amazing chorus melodic Nu-metal oriented!!!!!! "Baby
tell me why" is a power Alternative Rock full of emotional keyboard
and the usual class.... "One
Day" is another great song that mixes the class of Aor-Progressive
with the touch of Modern Rock ...A very deep song that shows the maturity
of this band and Fabrizio's great emotional voice! The title track closes this album into a travel of pure emotional Rock in which Progressive is mixed to the usual modern Aor into over 9 minutes of music!!! Great music in which I notice some amazing passages that can remind of Dream Theater but with the great Green style!!!!
In conclusion I add that the album gets a great arrangement and a good production...and this is a very important aspect . What
can I say more???? A
great cd.....Buy or die!!!! rating: 9.5/10
