| Just excellent. Imagine Wig Wam without the sense of humour and you have The Poodles. Every lyrical cliche is thrown the way of the listener, but if you're like me, you'll lap it all up. I hate the title track and don't like 'Song for you' at all, but between those and the rest is all smooth sailing. 'Echoes from the past' and 'Night of passion' are melodic hard rock bliss, and most the rest is almost as good. 'Crying' is a sensational ballad to end the disc too. Essential, on of 2006's best.

| I think almost like Geoff, here we have waited for 80's rock, and in the year 2006 80's rock has been born again with releases like this and House of Lords - World Upside Down, Fate -V, Wig Wam - Wig Wamania, Silent Hero - All That I Have. These are just my personal favs. there are much more bands like this I believe, but this cd is a 80's rock fans absolut must buy! It's that good!!!

| Solo por el Super Temazo NIGHT OF PASSION vale la pena, q por cierto iba a representar a Suecia en Eurovision, pero se kedo en las Semis... Encima cuenta con un elenco d musicos impresionantes, q han pasado por casi todo el Hard rock q se ha exo en Escandinavia ultimamente. Recomendado.

| Good album, otro de los buenos discos de este año temas con sonido actual no 80's como pusieron por alli, buena la version que hacen de una de las grandes bandas de New Wave de los 80's me refiero a Ultravox aquellos que saben de New Wave ya sabran cual tema es 8/10

| despues de mas escuchas como que ya no cala mucho sonido muy actual a veces suena a bandas alternativas de esta epoca, no se porque el chaval que escribio en ingles pone que esto es para fanaticos de los 80's nada que ver solo es Hard Rock actual ni de coña se puede acercar a House Of Lords por poner un ejemplo de uno de los posibles ganadores de este año, hay varios temas de relleno como la 12,7 o 4 ja estaran imitando a Pavarotti??? ya le doy solo 7/10 no pasa mas de esa puntuacion IMO.

| Hay gente que escribe aquí que debe de estar escuchando hard rock desde hace tres días. Rafo: no tienes idea de lo que dices. Este sin lugar a dudas es el mejor disco del año. Que no es hard rock ochentero? Recuerda que estamos en 2006. El tema 4 es de relleno? el 7? Por favor!!!! Sácate los tapones de los oídos!!!! Este es un disco perfecto de hard rock melódico con sonido actualizado al 2006. Lo mejor de los últimos tiempos junto a CRASHDIET, WIG WAM y lo nuevo de SHA-BOOM. El hard rock en USA

| ok, just got done listening to this for the second time and if you ask me this sounds like gotthard not wig wam at all! the singer is spot on for the singer in gotthard. now is that a bad thing, not at all! this is heavier than wig wam. this is not scandi sounding at all. this is strait in your face hard rock with melodic tones. the guitar playing here is much better than wig wam because of pontus norgren! if you like the last two gotthard cd's than you will like this as well. 9/10

| Comparisons are bound to be made with Wig Wam & with good reason. I also see the Gotthard reference, but will also add that this sounds pretty damn 'Scandie' to me aswell. Between the two, Wig Wam win the battle of the bands, but this does feature 'One Night Of Passion' which is an absolute belter of a track with a monster chorus and better than anything on 'Wig Wamania'(and that is not to take anything away from that disc). The Ultravox cover doesn't do it for me, the rest most definately does.

| "Song for You" is the only slight stain on this near-perfect melodic hard rock album. This is Scandi-flavored hair-metal with hooks bigger than a bulldog's balls, super-catchy choruses, and the kind of huge backing vox rarely hear nowadays. These guys sound like they have studied at the amps of Wig Wam, and while Wig Wam is superior, it wouldn't take much for the students to surpass their masters. Yep, metal will stand tall, and this CD will stand tall right next to the other Best CDs of 2006.

| De acuerdo con 80s hero,este es para mi el mejor disco del 2006 hasta la fecha,un trallazo de hard rock melódico a pesar de que la segunda parte del disco baja un poco de nivel.

| I liked this - this was great - good DISC. Def. have a 80's feel, big time songs with big time chorus'. Production was good and can be better and will get better but for now - crank it up.

| Que buen disco el de estos suecos, potente y melodico con temazos como ECHOES FROM...,NIGHT OF PASSION, SHADOWS, DO NOT GIVE UP...,KINGDOM y CRYING. Las influencias son de cualquier banda escandinava de los 80 con sonido moderno. Una delicia para los oidos.

| now in my best of the year, I got on the WigWam references, I feel a bit heavier or something then Wig Wam, the entire cd is great, and of course, One Night of Passion is killer, also love Lie to Me, the entire disk is pretty strong, have to say I enjoy Wigwania a tad better, but still in the best of the year!!!!
|
| From: Lennie |
Date: August 17, 2006 at 8:57 |
| Yep I love this one too - bound to feature somewhere in the best of 06. 'Night of Passion' has been mentioned, but what about 'Shadows', and tracks 9,10 & 11 - all as good in my opinion, and all these feature good guitar solos which just add to the excellence - Pontus Norgren adds a touch of class which might elevate this above Wigwam with repeated listens who knows??

| I love it! Awesome album....at least half of it. If the whole album had the quality of the 6-7 best songs it would be one of my absolute favourite albums last couple of years. There are however a few letdowns on the disc. Still, it will be featured in my top ten (probably even top five) list at the end of the year. Echoes, Night Of Passion, Shadows, Lie To Me, Don't Give Up On Love, Kingdom Of Heaven and the superballad Crying are all EXCELLENT melodic hard rock.

| Hola Rafo, tienes razón en enojarte. Creo que ambos somos fanáticos de este estilo y no tenemos porque coincidir en todos nuestros gustos musicales. Asi que no discutamos supongo que escucharás hard rock y aor como yo desde hace muchos muchos años. Yo tengo casi 37 ai que llevo escuchando esta música hace ya 25 años!! Es bueno encontrarse con fanáticos con quien compartir comentarios. Solo respetemos al otro por pensar distinto asi que te pido disculpas oficialmente y cada cual con sus opiniones

| Just heard this. MHO on each track is (worst first): 4/7:What were they doing? (Wife walked in and asked why Westlife were trying to do rock!). Track 12:run of the mill rock ballad. Tracks 2/5/6 are getting 'there' very quickly (early Priest?). For purists of melodic 'heavy' rock 1,3,8,9,10,11 will be heaven. I'd buy again, but its a pain reaching for the remote to cut out 4/7/12 - wished they'd put them together at the end!!

| PS forgot to mention that even though it is an excellent melodic rock version, track 8, Dancing with tears in my eyes, was done by Ultravox in 80's and, so I have been told, by Ray Conniff(?) back in the 60's.

| While this is not Wig Wam (as it is often compared to) it is a good solid disk. There are some excellent tracks on this one. Rock Star, Song For You and Night of Passion are great. The rest stands up too. One of the finer moments in 2006 for sure. Wig Wam has them beat by a ton though.

| Wig Wam is good, but doesn't compare to Poodles. The only weak song on this record, in my opinion, is Song For You, but it was their third single and has sold gold in Sweden by now...

| Night of Passion is a good track. I actually really dig the Ultravox cover song. This is a fine album. I didn't hear it at the time it came out. I think I was really put off by the band name. I still don't rate The Poodles as a name. Ugh. Why not be done with it and call yourselves the Designer Handbags. Anyway, I bought a copy cause of the high rating on this site. I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't overly wussy AOR but is actually decent hard rock. I don't like it as much as Crashdiet or Crazy Lixx, but it's still nice. Grade B decent rock. Great stuff for 2006.
