| A great return for one of the best bands form the 80's: I simply love their "Law Of The Order" and this one isn't a disappointment at all: yes, is quite different, the type of album that needs different listens before growing on you... The class of Richard Black and Spencer Sercombe is well displayed by these songs, most of them are old demos with a totally different twist (more mellow approach, in other words), but the final result is stunning. The production is also great, so buy this one NOW!

| This cd is ok it shows they have matured over the years with great song writing. Its different then there last cd's but this is a new generation, so sound has to change as well. the song that stuck out the most for me was blue skies.

| Hmm the song "Down to the ground"... I've had it for some months or years even before... titled "To the ground"... Did they record it on any other album? Or maybe I downloaded it as some promo single from Melodic Rock.com? Dunno...

I believe all of these songs were all written for their 2nd CD. I've had the demos for pretty much every song here for a while, and it's great to hear them all re-recorded and released this way. I do have to admit, though, that I'm not really into most the songs here. It's a cool CD. 'Welcome goodbye' is a strong ballad, 'Looking for the sun' is a great mid-tempo rocker and overall there are a few cool tracks. Overall, though, I wouldn't exactly call this one great.  Debut's MUCH better.

| ********************************Tenemos el agrado de entregarles a ustedes lo nuevo de Shark Island, banda que en los ochentas sacaron tres cds y tuvieron un relativo éxito, aunque como muchos de sus colegas en aquella época, merecido pero no reconocido. Como dato, para aquellos que no estén demasiado familiarizados con SI, Richard Black formo parte de unos de los primeros super grupos, Contraband junto a Tracii de LA Guns, Michael Schenker de UFO, Share de Vixen y Bobby Blotzer de Ratt.

| De todas maneras, después de 16 años, sale el sucesor de “Law of the order” y quieren saber algo? Este es un discazo! Tres de los cuatro miembros originales están de regreso: Richard en voz, Spencer Sercombe en guitarras, Christian Heilmann en bajo y yo me imagino que se dijeron para ellos mismos “vamos a sacar un disco que les vuele el cerebro al mundo entero, necesitamos un batero a ese nivel” por lo que no pudieron elegir mejor que Glen Sobel quien se esta convirtiendo en el Bozzio actual

| ya que esta apareciendo a muchos proyectos al mismo tiempo como Beautiful Creatures, D’Amato, Impellitteri, Jeff Scott Soto…todo el mundo llama a este tipo para tocar en su disco! “Blues skies” abre el cd, con un tema mas orientado a un power pop, como para ir acomodando el oído, cuando aparece “Stranger”, simplemente me relajo, ya se que al menos va a ser un album decente, pero no es asi. Siguen golpeándome en la sien tremendos temas del mejor hard rock melódico ya casi tirando a AOR

| como “Go best” que si prestan atención, hay ciertos aires a Bon Jovi en el timbre de voz de Black, verdad? Les pregunto, porque al menos en la pagina de ellos van a poder compartir mi opinión, posiblemente, si escuchan sus canciones. Para los buscadores de temas románticos, pongan atención a “Welcome goodbye” y “I had a dream” y para los amantes de la onda mas progresiva esta “Heaven”.Como dato extra, verán en la foto que acompaña este review, como viene presentado este increíble lanzamiento

| el cd viene en caja negra y dentro hay una caja blanca, ambas con el logo de Shark Island, y adentro esta el libro con imágenes y letras, les falto fotos de la banda, pero como presensación de arte le doy 9 puntos. Cerrando, Shark Island deja en claro que si una banda quiere regresar al mercado de hoy en día, lo debe hacer con elegancia, profesionalidad, buen gusto y mucho rock and roll. Altamente recomendado. ****************************www.myspace.com/lucasgordon

| not sold on this one. i've heard that the law of the order cd wasn't really shark islands true still of music, that they played. which is a shame. since it is a cult classic. but oh well.

After more than 15 years the "sharks" got back again and release a follow up to their 1989 brilliant album "Law Of The Order",obviously time has passed and music direction too...this one is a pleasant album that perhaps can be a little flavourless at the beginning but it raises its temperature on the way...for me it is a recommended one..."Blue Skies"(nice & catchy opening),"The Stranger" and "Life Goes On" are very good tracks but definitely my faves are "Down To The Ground","Looking For The Sun"(AORish),"Heaven"(rocks)& "Temptation"(rocks too)...92/100

| agree with others comments.this record have nothin in common with the extraordinary "law of the order".i know two songs "go west "and "down to the ground" cause in 1993 a friend in paris had given me a cd r of demo s of unrealised tracks of "law of the order".the sound was rotten but these songs was excellent and sound hard in the vein of "law of the order".here they sound a little different but stay the best songs of this record with track 9 "heaven".the advantage of this record is that the production is far better than on "law of the order" and this time we can hear to bass guitar of chris heilmann.i can add that track 1 is a cool beautiful song, track 10 a sumptuous ballad, but the others songs......are very laborious.too too soft for me and absoluty not catchy.what a big deception!!!i ll not give a mark to this album cause if i do that my mark will be bad , i ve too much respect for this exceptional band.
