This russian band is great!Ok, maybe there are too much ballads,but they are REALLY beautiful!Take"coming back to find you" and "tear down the border".PAY ATTENCTION;this is not the american band Autograph!!

This cd sucks!!!!!!!!!

From: Peter-Poland	Date: June 22, 2003 at 4:18
In my opinion this alubm is worth listening. It's not a must have, or to die for cd, but i can honestly give it 6.5/10 for ballad mood etc. Good cd Peter

autograf!? i would say decent aor but nothing else.they seem to try to keep it slow and smooth all the time and imho this is the biggest mistake they have ever commited in here!; instead of pulling the brakes all the time they should've tried to accelerate every once in a while to keep a balance within the structure of the songs themselves. they should also try to write better songs if they want to attract a wider audience; at the end of the day what we get here is another average band trying to

make it big in the aor business, unfortunately there are far too many bands out there who can do this type of music ten times better.still; we have to give them credit for trying, lets hope that album nš3 does this guys more justice!.

This is an awsome cd, Judgement day is an awsome song.

From: koogles	Date: September 13, 2004 at 16:29
The lead vocalist puts a stress on every syllable he sings. He tries to squeeze emotion out of empty cliches. The overall effect is akin to singing lyrics as you read them for the first time. I know this is a Russian band with its heart in the right place, but that doesn't mean I have to like it or listen to it.

From: Geoff	Date: September 13, 2004 at 21:27
Agree with Koogles here. For me, this is just a lifeless, poor CD floating about in a pond with little point or usefulness. Just a way below average AOR / rock CD with not a single song that stood out for me at all. Well below average.

hello i have this cd its one of my all time favorites i wish there were a lot more usa bands that would sound like this instead of all this screaming shit like godsmack shitnot i mean slip not these bands dont know a thing about singing just scream as loud as they can i personally think they are so deaf that the have to scream to here themselves

Hello Boys, estoy aca con mi pata Mario escuchando el album, un album promedio, tiene sus temas como Judgment Day(mi favorito), Why Can't You Stay, Coming Back to Find You, One Step Away. como lo vuelvo a decir no es gran album pero tiene sus temas, album promedio de Rock melodico/AOR.

Wow i didn't know this band was posted here!,this is a nice pop/aor album with ballads that kills!!!.They even have a sax player!!!.7/10

From: kipvanpearcy	Date: September 7, 2007 at 19:02
How boring... these guys are obviously trying hard but there's not one song that makes it worth buying or downloading this. It's just... boring.

From: z4roxx	Date: November 19, 2010 at 13:18
I did consider 15 years ago boring,now this is still boring.Too soft,not a single killer hook.Sorry guys but the disc is very bad.W Russia but I can't save this one.

Well mixed comments above...i think this band deserved a bit more...Gorky Park somehow opened the doors for Russian bands but many failed on their way...this one was not the exception..soft AOR with some Pop here and there basically because of the sax played in some of the songs..."Coming Back To Find You" is a solid smothie,"One Step Away" catchy,"How Can I Call It Love" beautiful ballad and the sax part in the song gives it a sensational mood,"Judgement Day" pretty good one,"Play With Fire" also good & "Why Can't You Stay" the best song IMO...decent stuff...85/100
