Compared to other records of the same harder rock genre, this release is rife with uncommon wit.
One of the things I find most impressive is the sheer range of the record. It features tracks both on the softer side of the style as well as some with screaming guitar that any rock fan or metal fan could love.
Ivan's music seems to feature a lot of 80's music and throughout listening one can hear very clearly that his roots in earlier music of the same nature are what motivate him to create. There are certainly several tracks that sound similar, but one thing for certain is that the artist has a distinct sound and style within a genre that is often overcrowded with artists in the same vein.
I especially enjoyed the introduction and the conclusion of the record. I like the way that it came in hard and automatically forced you to pay attention. I also found myself quite fond of the connection between the beginning & end. Upon hearing the last few seconds my mind was brought back to the start and the record seemed to connect itself together in a way not seen too frequently in some releases.
The passion and quality of musicianship is certainly present in this album, one can tell the artist is truly excited about the music that he is playing, a trait that it is impossible for a music lover to ignore.
Amongst the instrumental elements present, I found the drums & guitar especially strong and noticed a lot of impressive dexterity by the musicians playing.
Additionally, the tone of the vocalist caught my attention several times and I was impressed by his timbre and bravado at several points throughout the record.
Overall the record shows a lot of skill as well as promise, from a group of musicians that is certainly dedicated and excited about their craft as well as the genre as a whole.
Overall the record deserves a full score rating.
