"Animal" is the second album with American shouter Ron Finn and I must say that his voice tends to get on your nerves after a couple of songs.But if you put on this cd and "Visions" blows out of your speakers, you probably want some more of that a great fast, metal song with excellent vocals a song that reminds me of good old Saxon.
With this new line-up they also recorded their best album so far "Regeneration". In 2000 Easy Rider released their first album with Locomotive Music, "Evolution", and after that singer Garaneda and drummer Chaves were replaced by Ron Finn(American vocalist) and Rafa Diaz. To get closer to the international music business they decided to record their next album "Lord Of The Storm" with English lyrics. Seven years later they released their first album "Perfecta Creacion"(perfect creation), with the new vocalist Eugenio Garaneda. The Spanish heavy metal band Easy Rider started in 1990 and consisted back then out of: Daniel Castellanos(guitar), Javier(guitar) and Jose Villanueva(bass) and Antonio Chaves(drums). Nice, pop/rock, but dangerously close to being too predictable. but I simply can't find 'that' hit song, which could turn this album into a mega seller. The first single "Skull Tattoo" did okay in the charts, but it's hardly the success of "Save Tonight", and I believe that Eagle-Eye will always be remembered and compered with 'that' song. Check out "Feels So Right" and "The Food Song", for a big slice of rock, inspired by both above mentioned artists. The singer/songwriter style is very present every now and then, even if it's been slightly updated with a more "modern" pop sound. There's no secret that Tom Petty & Neil Young are two of Cherry's biggest influences in the past and maybe still are. The mellow and very laidback "How Come", is similar to the slow songs Lenny Kravitz did in the past. However, the overall material is still being performed in the gather-around-the-campfire tradition with acoustic guitars upfront.
There may not be another "Save Tonight" song on "Sub Rosa" and it's probably for the best anyhow. With the help from producers such as Al Stone (Björk and Jamiroquai), John Kurzweg (Jewel, Puddle of Mud, Creed), Tim Simenon (Massive Attack, Depeche Mode), and Cameron McVey (husband and producer of his sister, Neneh Cherry), Eagle-Eye may just have recorded his most various and mature sounding album up to date. Lots of water have passed under the bridge ever since though and "Sub Rosa" is actually Cherry's third release already. It's never easy to follow up a smash hit like "Save Tonight" (1998 - the album "Desireless" went platinum all over the world), and I guess it became even more difficult, when this happens to your first single on your debut album. # A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Reviews Index
