MTM Classix, is a sub-division of MTM Music, that only re-releases old album on cd, and this time the label have done a cape, they are actually releasing an album that never been released before, not even on LP.
Because if you read my review of 707's album "Megaforce", you can read that they band never released this album, but you didn't get an explanation, because I saved it for this review.
So now you'll get it, the reason why they never released this album is because the new label wanted something different and demanded that the band changed singer.

Might sound rough, but that's music business also today, so 707 found a new singer, re-recorded some songs and released another album, and this one was just lying there, until now, in September 2004, when MTM Classix releases it, and believe me, it's needed to be released, because if the "Megaforce" album was Ok, this one kills.

I won't go any deeper on the history part, because if you want that, just read my review of "Megaforce", no this review will just cover the part why the album never was released (above) and my thoughts about this album, compare to "Megaforce".
Because the difference is big, the songs the vocals, the sound in general is spending here, on "Megaforce" there was some kind of tension over is all, all seemed to hard to do, but this is better, the guys seemed to have fun during the writing and recording process of this album and that's important.

The sound is quite different, as I mention above, because it's almost not in the same genre, it's very hard to hear that this is the same band as on "Megaforce", because of the music is played in a different way, it's as mention, easier and more catchy, already the first time you hear the songs you can sing-along.

I won't talk anymore about it now, I just have to say that this is worth checking out, because it satisfy almost every kind of Hard rock fan, but of course will the fans of older Hard rock like it more, but I really recommend other Hard rockers to check it up, because it's really, really good and how a label didn't want to release this, I can't understand, but it's like I said, music business.

Check Out: "Leader", "Hungry for Your Love", "You're All I Need", "Want Your Love", yeah you see, it will just go on, do yourself a little favour, buy this album, because this is "old school" hard rock when it's at it's best.
