CD REVIEW: GREETINGS FROM ROCKETLAND by Rockett Love




GREETINGS FROM ROCKETLAND by Rockett Love 
(AOR Heaven)

Swedish based Rockett Love are back with their highly anticipated sophomore release, 'Greetings From Rocketland'. Comprised of, Daniel Samuelsson on lead vocals,  Stefan Westerlund on guitars and vocals, Gustaf Eklund on lead guitars and vocals, Dennis Vestman on bass and vocals and Fredrik Ahlin on drums, percussion and vocals. This new album takes everything they did on their debut, 'Grab The Rocket' and cranks it all up a notch. Every detail of the music is amazing! Superbly crafted songs, solid musicianship, rock solid vocals, and perfect production make for one memorable listening experience. Highlights include the awesome chorus hook of the energetic opener "Back On My Feet", the massive power of "Bite The Bullet", the adrenaline charged mover, "Get Ready Go!", the intense rock groove of "King For One Day", and the emotional vocal melodies of the epic power ballad "Take Me Home". The crunch in the guitars, the live sound of the drums, and the expert attention paid to the vocal mix deliver the goods. There is a mix of tempo between tracks and a more defined attempt to mix things up with unusual solos that don't just shred but look for a counterpoint to the melody of the song. Hats off to Erik MÃ¥rtensson (ECLIPSE, WET) for an  amazing mix. Overall,'Greetings From Rocketland' is a very high energy melodic rock album that serves up hard hitting, riff driven, hook laden songs that will stick in your head for days. The more I play this album the more I like it and it always seems to be a different song that grabs my attention. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish!    -Tony @ The Dedicated Rocker Society
