FOR THE GREATER GOOD by Saffire
(AOR Heaven)
Following up to their debut release 'From Ashes to Fire" Swedish based rockers, Saffire are back with their sophomore release, 'For The Greater Good'. A well written and well balanced powerhouse rocker of an album. Saffire is comprised of Tobias Jansson (vocals), Victor Olsson (guitar), Magnus Carlsson (bass), Anton Roos (drums) and Dino Zuzic (keyboards). There is a nice mix of heavy and melodic arrangements with sing along choruses aplenty, loads of riffing guitar. The band's Deep Purple and Rainbow influences are very apparent, with Tobias Jansson 's vocals in fine and powerful form. 'For The Greater Good' will certainly rock you in spades, right from the opening riff of "The Great Escape" through "Casters Of The First Stone" and the rocking title track through my personal favourites, "Heartless", "Dandelion's Shame", "Shadowland" and "Blame It On The Rain". 'For The Greater Good' is a album definitive of a band that is comfortable in its own skin and knows where it is heading, it really is a strong album. A modern album that definitely has that old school hard rock feel. With this album it becomes clear that Saffire is a rock band with a rather unique style and sound clearly differentiating themselves from other bands that are currently on the scene. No sophomore slump here that's for sure. Great job gentleman! - Highly Recommended
