Hard Rock / AOR

While the group’s 2005 self-titled was an infectious little sucker of an AOR record in, led mostly by Pierre Weisnberg (ELEVENER) on the vocal front and featuring numerous guitar contributions from the ever prolific Tommy Denander, On Air outclasses the debut by leaps and bounds, due in no small part to a much larger cast of vocalists and brassy instrumental flavorings. And, if anything, the songwriting is better than before: ‘You Are Love’ is a mid tempo monster with a killer bridge that instantly brings to mind aural images of AIRPLAY or DAVID ROBERTS, with a velveteen hook to boot! And of course it hard to escape the early 80’s ‘Frontiers’ era of JOURNEY with ripping cuts like ‘Love On Fire’ and ‘Live Out Of Love’: these two numbers alone could have sold out arenas once upon a time, with the latter revolving around a nifty guitar motif that would make NEAL SCHON green with envy!

My favorite song off the album though, funnily enough, is the ballad that closes out the LP: ‘You Don’t Love Me Anymore’. It features the surprisingly rich and fully measured vocal work of HENRIK BAATH, lead singer for Swedish progressive metal stalwarts DARK WATER, and he knocks this 6 and a half minute masterpiece out of the park! A jazzy piano solo about midway through the song adds a certain atmospheric quality not present in the previous lineup of songs, complete with some acoustic guitar trading licks off with it into a silence that marks the end of the song cycle. It’s a beautiful song too – perhaps one of the best of its kind I’ve had the pleasure to experience.

Fans of old school early 80’s AOR with a touch of L.A. Westcoast in the slower numbers should keep their eyes peeled as we head off into 2013: if albums like this are of any indication, then we have a magnificent year ahead of us!
