HANGMAN JURY is a Norwegian band that is playing Canadian orientated AOR/Poprock like HAYWIRE, SHY TALK… Only not as sensational, and there are some heavier guitars. Still, a song like “Who do U think U R?” is a pretty nice uptempo AOR/Melodic Poprocker like early HAYWIRE, IDLE EYES and a bit JIMMY HARNEN.
Also pretty good are the AOR/Melodic rockers “Living a dream” and “Alive”. Nice are “World of my own” (midtempo AOR), “When life was easy” (AOR Ballad) and “Like an angel” (melodic rocker like early WINGER). But it never gets really sensational, on the other hand there are not many weak spots, except “Reach inside” (90s average rocker). A nice album and if you can get it cheap, you can buy it. But it’s not a must!
