Very nice AOR cd from the Vision Divine singer Michele Luppi. It's not a classic but something worth purchasing...90/100

Michele Luppi ya nos sorprendió con su buena voz en su disco solista titulado "Strive" del 2005, nada mal pero ésto es de lejos su mejor disco en lo que a Melodic Rock respecta. Temas muy parejos pero que no son un clásico en mi opinión. "I Must Be Blind" es una joyita del AOR y ésta versión no se le acerca ni de broma a la hecha por Brigde2Far aún siendo diferente en estilo. Producción ok y buenos solos de Denander. Recomendado. 8.7/10

From: Axe-Machine	Date: September 3, 2007 at 15:38
Some really great tunes and a few fillers. Believe me though, for tracks like I Will Carry You and I Must Be Blind, you can forgive a few misfires. Recommended.

From: Geoff	Date: September 6, 2007 at 2:46
This one is actually really great. Barely a filler on it. If you like these Grossi projects this one is an essential addition to your collection. My favourite track is 'Carloline', with 'I must be blind' leading up a big pack of other contenders. Great melodic rock/AOR.

See again Michele on live stage with Vision Divine:simply one of the best voices ever in rock scene IMO.A simple and friendly guy,this album can't miss in my home surely(but the last Vision Divine I think yes ahaha).BTW great show as always,he'll make a new inhedit album with his ex-cover band Mr.Pig...The head-liner at the show were Sadist,no words to describe them,GREAT!The new singer is terrific,too!Please Tommy find me a Nosferatu copy of"tribe"cd,I need it!!!!

From: george_the_jack	Date: September 28, 2007 at 5:23
simply one of the best releases of our year.....Just look at the line up, imagine the talent of these musicians in a crystalline razor production dressed with beautiful melodies. Those who claim that we must encourage our favorite music nowdays, must buy and enjoy this album!

As i can see, we have an idiot with a championship! Shoemaker, I've seen your ratings in many albums and you' d better make some shoes for the poor than rating hard/AOR albums. Thanks in advance....

Don´t cry George! Yes I heard many albums in my life, thats why most of the new stuff doesn´t impress me much. For example a lot of the bands on FRONTIERS RECORDS sound great at first listen (Allen and Lande, Readman, Frederiksen Denander, Los Angeles), but compared with older 80ies bands like STRANGEWAYS, ICON, AXE, HURRICANE.. they doesn´t stand the test of time. The music is nice, but goes one ear in and left on the other side, next ear. They don´t have the magic and atmosphere like for examp

From: shoemaker	Date: September 28, 2007 at 10:15
example RUSS BALLARDs FIRE STILL BURN has!

From: george_the_jack	Date: September 30, 2007 at 6:50
Shoemaker i have to apologize.I didn't have to criticize you like this.You seem to be an experienced listener of our music but this album sounded to me incredible comparing with the releases of the recent years.I've checked your ratings and you seemed to be so tough and strict with worthwhile albums.

From: shoemaker	Date: September 30, 2007 at 11:23
It´s ok, I changed my rating a bit I was to harsh with this album. It´s solid hardrock with fine melodies. But in my opinion some listeners here are bit loose with top rates. Mr. Luppi is a fine singer. I like his work for Vision Divine, but I can´t find brillians in the music nowadays. Vision Devine for example make albums, FATES WARNING did far better on (PARALLELS or INSIDE OUT).

From: AUGUSTO	Date: November 24, 2007 at 17:44
LLEVO 20 AÑOS ESCUCHANDO MUSICA,Y JURO QUE NUNCA,PERO NUNCA,VI UN CANTANTE ASI EN VIVO,VISION DIVINE PISO SUELO ARGENTINO,Y MICHELE NOS DEJO CON LA BOCA ABIERTA,ADEMAS DE SU HUMILDAD Y BUENA ONDA,AH,EL DISCO?MUCHO MEJOR QUE EL STRIVE,MEJORES CANCIONES Y UN PAR DE PERLAS QUE PODRIAN SER CLASICOS,9/10,GRACIAS MICHELE!NO DEJEN DE ESCUCHAR I MUST BE BLIND!PERFECTO!!

From: Harald	Date: March 25, 2008 at 17:07
wow, great album!!! If this would have the name BON Jovi on the front cover it would sell millions. This is by far the best Bon Jovi album I have heard for many years. 98/100

From: cooldude	Date: December 3, 2008 at 11:09
didn't like it at all. good voice. a little on the fem side. songs where very weak. not one good hook in the bunch. someone should give this whole record the hook

From: Photochromic Steve	Date: February 4, 2009 at 18:43
A very good consistent album - I like virtually all of the songs on here. I don't hear the Bon Jovi comparisons at all (Harald). Normally Geoff's taste is a bit too loud for me, but I agree with him on this one.

From: erik	Date: September 19, 2009 at 8:21
I must be Blind, Edge of Forever, Last Chance, Run, One more Try, The other Side and Caroline are all excellent melodic rock songs. Great set of tunes together. Very good record.85/10

From: 123charpenay	Date: February 7, 2010 at 15:32

From: Harald	Date: February 8, 2010 at 12:42
Great, great album, "Caroline" has a chorus in true Firehouse ballad tradition, if this isn´t perfect stadium rock then shit don´t stink!!!

Michele Luppi's showing us in here why he is a passionate AOR fan..the former voice of Vision Divine and now with Killing Touch is a great singer no matter if it's metal or melodic rock or even covers!..the guy has an amazing vocal skills,this project is his AOR/Hard Rock tool 2 give us this side of him that not so many persons know about..."I Will Carry You" is excellent,"I Must Be Blind" is a fave of mine,"Thanks To You" is a great ballad,"Last Chance" is a fave too along with "Run" and "One More Try" both highlights!,"Caroline" is a nice ballad..really find out by yourselves what this great singer does apart from metal.Recommended,90/100

Another glittering jewel from the Tommy Denander melodic rock factory -- a fantastic combination of melody, choral vocals and heartfelt, gushy lyrics straight out of 1983 FM radio. Fabrizio Grossi's trademark slick production is all over it, waxing additional polish on Denander's tasteful contribution. Michele Luppi sings his ass off (reminding me at times of Jon Deverill with a tinge of Italian accent), but much of the album's credit belongs to the assemblage of songwriters which include Richard Marx, Brett James, Mark Williamson, and others. I could've stood a bit more Gregg Giuffria than just his album lead-in, but otherwise the keys are well reserved for minor sweetening. Standouts for me include, "I Will Carry You," "Edge of Forever," "Run," and "One More Try" -- but my favorite is "When You Think of Me," a heart-rending power ballad for the ages with an amazing counter-voice chorus that you won't be able to get out of your head. Very worth it if you're a fan of '80s AOR. 85/100
