VALENTINE - The Most Beautiful Pain



This is the first album of the artist, after several years of silence, but obviously also hard work. The music here is pompous and melodic, with catchy grooves and melodies, memorable parts, and parts that easy to sing along. Enriched with touches of AOR, and some more hard moments, this album is full of the finest Melodic Rock, something that will keep the fans of the genre happy. Well worked songs, that contain enough variety, and keep the interest of the listener high. Also a great work has been done in the arranging area, with nice ideas along with some cliches, but all worked and mixed in a very interesting result. If you are into Melodic Rock, of you have been a fan of the work of Robby Valentine, this album is one of those that you should have.

9/10
