All Exclusive Melodic Rock | AOR
Long awaited solo debut. Powerful and original! Guitar driven album by journeyman singer-songwriter-guitarist, with superb melodies and lyrics, in a unique blend of rock and alternative.
"Drastic Measures" was the KANSAS ninth and final studio offering from the first era before hanging up their instruments, and it's one of my favorites. This superb Japanese remastered edition pressed on high quality Blu-SpecCD sounds incredible. More»
Theander Expression is the AOR project by Swedish guitar player Andrée Theander, who started to work with the first album in 2012 and released it one year later. It was called "Strange Nostalgia" after one of the songs and got critically acclaimed around the world of melodic rock in 2013. Just over two years later the follow-up is finally here and it carries the title "Wonderful Anticipation", as a kind of an antonym to the frequently misinterpreted debut title.

My rating is for the UK Spinefarm release. It includes 2 bonus tracks and they both are total killers! I'd go and say the track "Under Your Skin" is the best song on the whole album. Massive insta killah with spine tingling melodic quality. Recommended for upgrading if you only have the original pressing!

Melodic Rock | AOR
Released in Japan only a couple years ago in a Limited Edition SHM-CD but already out-of-print, KANSAS' "In The Spirit Of Things" deserves a hunt-down. This one was the last KANSAS album recorded in the '80s, and for my melodious ears, one of the best of their entire career. More»
