| Good CD for 89 Metal. A little light, but definite Journey/Yngwie Malmsteen influence. First love is my favorite track, listened to it nonstop as a senior...

| The title track alone is worth the price of admission. 'Love Begins Again' is an awesome ballad. It's unfortunate this CD did not get the exposure it truly deserved. The CD is on the light metal side but right on par with the times (1989). A good comparison would be the first Danger Danger CD.

| An ideal purchase if you like Triumph or Hugo. Gene Marchello could have sat behind Rik Emmett's desk, answered his phones and smoked his cigars back in 1989.

|
| From: JRabbit |

| I listened to TNT, Yngwie, Journey, Europe, and White Wolf back then and Marchello, albeit obscure, fit right in! The whole album ain't bad but the tracks 'Destiny' and 'Living for #1' are so excellent, with such great lyrics and music that it has kept the tape in my stereo on and off for more than 10 years! Yes, very excellent. A part of my life always. Ought to find it on CD-- but there's so many bands here to check first!!! If you like the stuff I named, try Crystal, Centaur, and Fate.

| I bought this album when it first came out and, being a melodic guitarist myself, I fell in love with this album. Marchello's style is so unique and impressive. The best track on this album would be 'Destiny'...I love the way he made the transition from the song, into an instrumental interlude, then smoothly back to the song again. Brilliant work! This album will always remain one of my favorites on my shelf of guitar heroes!

| I'd never heard of them until just now I saw the video for 'First Love' on VH1 Classic's 'Metal Mania' hour. Heard the TNT similarity right away (similar voice). Had to laugh when I saw that the babe in the video is Gina Gershon! The things people do before they're famous.......

| Hey guys(and ladies)-don't just judge Marchello on that video. I made the same mistake years ago. Very song oriented mellow melodic rock. The rest of the album is quite good. Esp the guitars.

| I got this when it was released .As a guitarist too, I was instantly blown away. Gene is and was one of the best late 80's guitarist/lead singers in one.On par w/John Sykes,Rik Emmet and Dave Meniketti. This was an exciting era for 'musicians musicians'.I fondly remember seeing Gene written up in Guitar For the Practicing Musician and the article mentioning an audition w/Ozzy! I'd love to hear the never released 2nd album. Peppi and Gene rule!!! Long Live The Italian Connection!!!!!!

| I just got this album about 4 months ago and fell in love with it. Gene Marchello is such a fabulous guitar player and has much talent. it's such a shame he was so underrated along with his band. the best songs are BROWN EYES, DESTINY, and their most famous song, FIRST LOVE

| HEY DON, that's funny you mention that because i watch METAL MANIA all the time and that's how i got in to them, it was from seeing the FIRST LOVE video. I caught it just in time for about the last minute of the video so i didn't get to see the whole thing.

| I finally got my copy of this cd and I love it! I had the 2nd unreleased cd for about a year now and that one is also awesome. Great melodies and guitar riffage here. The singer sounds like a cross of Ted poley and Steve perry in some places, but musically, they have more of a Frontline feel to them. Highly Recommended!

| Great CD. There are certain moments of the album that almost make me feel like i'm listening to a demo, mainly because of a few improvements musically that could have been made here and there, but this was a debut album so we should cut them a little slack. The best parts of the album are the more emotional tracks like "Destiny" & "First Love". All the great melodies just seem to take you on an emotional journey, and that is really what good music should do. Not perfect, but very enjoyable.

| This is a good solid hard rock album - awesome sound, but it's one of those very sad situations where the 2nd album is literally 100 times better than this one, IMO. Some silly lyrics here and although the songs are generally okay it just doesn't hit the mark anywhere near what the second more focused CD does. Decent CD, but track down a CDR of the 2nd and you'll be blown away.

| Excellent melodic hard rock with great guitars. Lately, I bought the 2d unrelaesed CD on Ebay. Even if it's a CDR, the sound is top and the songs are marvellous. Top songs: All God's Angels, Every Man's Lover, Euphoria, Dancers, Riot. If You liked the Destiny album, you should try to get a copy of this one. More of this please !

| La 1 y 2 son las menos buenas de este gran disco que por contra no tiene una producción compacta. La 3 está mejor, con un riff a mitad de la canción bien Metalizada. La 4 otro buen tema y con un teclado y melodía que recuerdan a unos Maiden melódicos. Mis Super-favoritas del disco son: "What If" "Living for Number One" y sobretodo "Heavy Weight Champ of Love" trallazo de tema y la mejor. "She´s Magic" ala The Storm temazo AOR. La 10 buena y finaliza con una instrumental muy metalizada. 8.8/10

| La voz me recuerda a Kevin Chalfant por momentos y en sí el disco es muy variado en cuanto a temas pues hay de todo, temas en que se combina el metal melódico con el hardrock y hasta con el AOR. Y si, se podría decir que son unos Journey/The Storm pero convenientemente metalizados y hardrockerizados. Hay algunos solos que no me convencen y la producción tampoco pero por esos coros, toques de teclados fantásticos y esos riffs tan potentes y demás este disco está super-recomendado. Saludos.

| Interesting CD from wannabe axe shredder Gene Marchello, who as well as some nifty fretboard gymnastics, sings in a style similar to Steve Perry of JOURNEY. As for the music, imagine a Shrapnel records band attempting to be TNT and you would be pretty much there. Song wise the first 5 songs really kick some ass with hooks big enough for the mouth of a great white shark, sadly the quality fades quickly into the second half of the disc. 71/100

| Destiny is one of the best hard rock songs EVER. This is a really good album, but the second is PERFECT!!! It has all that a hard rock fan wants. It is known as "the power of Money" or "Marchello 2". It´s a really shame it wasn´t released. I love that album. It´s a must-have!!! Gene plays like a guitar god and sings like an angel!!!

| This a good album with good songs but it sounds to Triumph influeced even in the voice!(Gene is probably one of the biggest Rik Emmett's fan around!)that makes it a little dull somehow...as i said, good album but with that Triumph issue...tracks 1,2,4("First Love" which is the one i liked the most,with that sparkling chorus),5,6,9 & 11(a killer instrumental song i must admit)Gene is a good and skilled guitar player but has to be more "versatile"(in quotation mark coz his a good singer but needs more originality).In general lines an album that won't harm you to listen...have a listen and speak out!.85/100

| I didnt know this band til some days ago when I read on aor heaven's site, Marchello is coming out on version Classixx by that label. so I serached some songs for my curiosity and I can say this band is a killer! Awesome guitars work and great voice. I will buy the second release by aor heaven classicxx for sure. This one, Destiny, is OOP really hard to find at a decent price. Although I could know that worth is huge.

| exceptional record.gene marchello is the self made man of this killer cd.he sings (beautiful high pitched voice very near to rick emmet from triumph),he plays guitar (he is a virtuoso) and he writes all the songs.congratulations mr marchello.fantastic job.track 3 "destiny" is a masterpiece,tracks 1.2.5.6.8and 9 are excellent hard rock songs,tracks 4.7 and 10 are pure magic beautiful a o r songs.forget track 11 where gene masturbate is guitar.this instrumental have no interest.unfortunately no bonus track on the very rare japan import.
