(Melodic Rock Records)
Proving that the first time around was no flash in the pan, Fiction Syxx return with a powerful follow up to their debut outing, 'Tall Dark Secrets' with, 'The Alternate Me', featuring a great selection of songs that will stimulate the senses and keep you coming back for more. Everything about this recording is solid from the songwriting, production, vocals and energy. Courtesy of, Mark Allen Lanoue on lead vocals and guitar, JK Northrup on guitar and backing vocals, Larry Hart on bass, Eric Ragno on keyboards and Rory Faciane on drums. On this sophomore effort the band serve up a deep, thought-provoking listening experience. I really love the flow of these songs. There is nice mix of styles, a nice mix of tempos and no excessive instrumentation. In so many words, this is a compact, yet explosive set of songs. Highlighted by tracks like, "My Darkest Hour", "Monster In The Mist", the title track, "Tall Dark Secrets" and two great covers, the Styx classic, "Suite Madame Blue" and the Uriah Heep classic, "The Wizard". Overall, an incredible album, written and performed by a band that is insanely talented. All the power, passion that the band impressed so many with their debut is taken to a whole new level here. Simply put, 'The Alternate Me' by Fiction Syxx is a BEAST! - Tony @ The Dedicated Rocker Society
