Bernie Marsden is the older among us as a co-author of some Whitesnake classics and guitarist of the band remembered. Even with PAL he was at the start. Services that can take him no more. As a blues-rock guitarist and backing vocalist, he was a bank. His solo albums were despite stellar cast rather mixed. So isses also here. Sure, the guy can play. And his song is, well, neat. Both, however, remains a little pale. More problematic, however, the songs. He's not a gifted songwriter without a partner. Some device a little embarrassed about the ideal world anthem "Who do we think we are?" on this album, which is annoying with high school-poetry. Moreover, everything seems a bit without concept, a collection of mostly average pieces, sometimes it's hard blues, then more pop rock, then again an instrumental lullaby. Good idea, the somewhat sunken in the original "Kinda Wish You Would" re-record - but the result is unfortunately behind the version with Micky Moody. Also, "Trouble", the Whitesnake song David Coverdale has sung here specifically again, is a disappointment. The course is even more so on Coverdale`s cap. because he is here involuntarily, that his best days are far behind him. He pressed, where he sang earlier. This does not mean that the album would be a flop. Bad Blood is beautiful and also gains by female vocals. The instrumental things have what. And Joe Bonamassa makes the rather mediocre title track a bravado number when it comes to solo. But I's criticisms indecision in sound and vision. It is not Viintage how it like today, it is not modern, it is not 70s, 80s or 90s, but also not really timeless. It's a bit of everything. But at no time really top class. Sorry. Bernie Marsden of course remains a Obersympath.
