The eternal prisoner of the dreams of passion can again smoke the tires on the fire roads of Hard Rocks

All good things come in threes might think, because on the third album of Bochumers Axel Rudi Pell - Eternal Prisoner - also changes the third time the singer without the musical quality of this fantastic group was adversely affected in any way. While Rob Rock at some points very strongly attracted the music of Bochumers towards "NWOBHM", gives the band with the new singer - Jeff Scott Soto - on the album - Eternal Prisoner - their music a touch AOR à la Journey, what you particularly can clearly audible - in the titles - Your Life - and - Wheels Rolling On. Otherwise it leaves the Axel on songs like - Streets of Fire. Longtime, Shot Her To The Moon - and - Ride The Bullet - blast as usual really.

Like every album of the German Blackmores also includes - Eternal Prisoner - with - Dreams Of Passion - again a very successful instrumental piece, and two excellent long songs, one of which - Sweet Lil Suzie - comes up in the middle part with a drum and percussion solo, which greatly reminiscent of the Dire Straits, and the title track - - to the live version of - Calling Elvis Eternal Prisoner - not only shines with a catchy catchy chorus, but also in the central part with a great interaction between the singing, floyd similarly played guitar, in combination with a catchy plucked bassline, and a powergeldenen drumming.

Conclusion: Axel Rudi Pell succeeds despite a renewed singers change, with new awesome to combine familiar things and on the album - to unite together nine different but consistently listenable songs - Eternal Prisoner. Hats off.
