Currently I tend still to 4 stars. On the one hand you get 80s Rock, on the other hand some songs already look pretty on "lighter swinging" and designed by the song structure and also the texts not quite "all of a piece" or as pieced together with the Hitgenerator.
Addendum:
Have still got written down to 3 stars because even after 10 times by listening I realized that very little of the album was "branding". The opener "Back On My Trail" is probably the strongest track on the album. "Turn Back Time" and "Here Forever" have a good, catchy chorus definitely. For me, a good example of why the album is not working, "Dream On". The song actually has everything he needs to have. Guitar, keyboard, it sounds vaguely familiar and fun. But he did not get stuck. And he is suddenly and unexpectedly to an end ..
Instead, the songs sound in part, as if the singer were beginning against the drum machine. Yes, I know it was allegedly not recorded by computer .. but it sounds so nunmal "clinically" And that's ultimately what I soured the fun on this album. It can be ironed out. As from the "Hitgenerator" .. you can tell the boys the fun they will not have had in the songs, unfortunately at because -Geschwängerten behind the "loudness" production is simply no strength.
