I've always agreed that when someone is releasing a solo-album, it should sound quite different then the artists main band. And this is about the only thing Rex Carroll from Whitecross has achieved here. It's a much more blues oriented rock album, and pretty much no metal at all. Rex is a very good guitar-player. But that doesn't hide the fact that the songs just isn't all that good. In the liner-notes Rex talks about bringing in all his influences, and maybe that is where it fails. Too many directions on one album, just doesn't keep the listeners interest up. I keep this mostly for collecting purposes.

Killer tracks: Hmmm, hard to tell as I don't really like any of them that much.
