I have heard good things about this....anyone? Damn she's a Hottie!!

From: prowler	Date: May 9, 2006 at 19:17
first listening you have impression that this band sounds like crucified barbara crossed with evanescence. i did't listen to this album once more. if you're lookin' for 80's driven hard rock it's not for you. the cover is missleading. waste of money.

Mucha propaganda y poca música... Que está pasando con las bandas yanquis? Que desastre!

Siento discrepar 80s hero,porque la verdad que me he llevado una más que agradable sorpresa con esta banda nueva.El disco esta plagado de grandes temas de Hard Rock y sobre todo esa voz: impresionante... aparte de que la vocalista es un cañon de mujer,sino mirar las fotos... tiene una voz espectacular.Todo el disco está a muy buen nivel desde la primera escucha, sobre todo por esa voz, pero mis favoritos son "Breaking Me Down", desde abajo, el tema alcanza un climax total y también "Confession"

una pasada a medio tiempo. Más dura pero desgarradora "Blind", todo un pelotazo. Una pedazo de balada genialmente cantada "Come To Me" e incluso se atreven con una versión del Back In Black de los AC/DC. En mi modesta opinión, esta banda va a llegar muy lejos desde luego este CD es muy prometedor. Recomendado para amantes del buen Hard Rock interpretado por feminas y está femina está de escándalo, creedme. 9/10

Honestly, is that the best cover ever? Man she's as good a selling point as I've ever seen in a band. Beautiful stuff... and the music's pretty damn good too. Sort of like traditional hard rock with a few modern elements. Pretty commercial and catchy the whole way through. 'Confessions' is my favourite track, but I'd say this one's well worth a listen for anyone. Good solid hard rock album.

Woof...best CD cover of 2006, bar none... Not only does she have a great set of "lungs" but she sings real purty too. Fourteen tracks may be a bit much to take in one sitting but overall I'd say Hydrogyn are a very promising new band.

***************************Cuando lei el nombre de Michael Wagener (productor de Alice Cooper, Skid Row, Dokken, Motley Crue, Poison, Ozzy, Helloween, etc) tras la producción de este disco debut de Hydrogyn, no dude ni por un segundo que me encontraría con un material de primera calidad. Lógicamente, que su nombre ayuda, pero si el grupo no tocase muy bien, no hay director técnico que logre un gol, cosa que no sucede con este combo liderado por la sexy Julie, a secas y por Jeff Westlake

quien toca la guitarra y además compone todas las canciones salvo el cover de……? Skid Row “18 and life”!, no me van a decir que esperaban uno de Menudo….“Breaking me down” es el punto donde ya no solo me preocupo por describir bondadosamente a la banda sino, que capta mas mi atención por la garra que el track ofrece, empieza bien suave, y claramente con un sonido bien actual, arremete con bastante fuerza, donde los acordes de la guitarra me recuerdan a un tema de Led Zeppelin, “Come with me”.

La banda tiene un sonido muy actual dentro de lo que comúnmente conocemos como heavy metal melódico moderno, y la voz de Julie es bien melódica. Como particularidad, hay una edición previa de este album considerada de colección, con el cover de “Back in black” de AC/DC cual fue reemplazado por el de Skid Row. “Bombshell” es la primera carta que Hydrogyn acaba de lanzar a nosotros, como las del famoso carácter de X-Men, Gambito: es una bomba!!!! lhgordo_at_yahoo.com ******************************

Promising band?Great stuff??It's the last time I take a cd without listen to some mp3 before...this is a sort of melodick grunge or post hard rock,best song is the cover and as always it's the worst debut possible for any band,vocals is average and doen't transmit me nothin even if she couls be a promising pornostar maybe??

From: stryper	Date: August 16, 2007 at 5:47
great female fronted band we have here.and sounds and looks good lol.a real bonus point imho.anyone into good old rock and roll should love this.

Average vocals,? evanescence?, grunge?. No entiendo, pero bueno tengo la version con la cancion de Skid Row. Coincido mas con Geoff, es un hard rock con toques modernos. Hay canciones que tienen un sonido ochentero asi que no asustarse tanto. La cantante aparte de lo obvio, tiene buena voz y para ser su primer trabajo no esta nada mal, tiene para mejorar. Eso si una decepcion el booklet esperaba las letras y bueno...si mas fotos de ella.

From: ferstyx	Date: January 4, 2008 at 18:17
Ademas de la portada, hay una en la bandeja y otra en blanco y negro en el disco. Sniff

From: ferstyx	Date: January 4, 2008 at 18:23
Eso si hay que escucharlo varias veces para poder apreciarlo. Buen disco, no una marivalla. Otro grupo que pueden chequear es radiocraft a lo heart rockero.

From: z4roxx	Date: January 10, 2008 at 13:39
I had a wrong impression after my first listening,this is modern ok but not grunge and definitely I'll hold it.This isn't average,just too"modern"for my tastes,that's all.But don't change opinion about female scene:awful;with maybe 4 or 5 exceptions.....

From: CC	Date: May 27, 2008 at 15:52
I liked this one. Sits somewhere between old school rock, and the more modern style of someone like Marion Raven. Nice cover of 18 & life, as well!

From: CC	Date: May 27, 2008 at 15:55
Looking at the track listing listed here, it would appear there are two different versions, one with Back in black on it, and one with 18 & life! Luckily I have the 18 & life version as Back in black is on their live CD as a bonus track!

From: Dramarama	Date: March 24, 2024 at 10:38
On Spotify the cover is 18 and Life instead of Back in Black.
