This
is the second album of the pop-metal band Europe’s side project
Last Autumn’s Dream. On the debut album, Ian Haugland, Mic
Michaeli and John Levén from Europe participated. These gentlemen
were missed on this effort for sure, as Europe has made a full-scale
comeback necessitating their return.
This
album was more like a nightmare then a dream. On such an uninspired
effort, the best of the malaise was the guitar work of former S.A.D.O
and Fair Warning axe man Andy Malecek, who has a couple Satriani
type solos. Unfortunately that is about the only positive feedback
one could draw from the tremendously flat 13-song album. The vocals
of Mikael Erlandsson are terrible, and the songs lyrics are stale.
From the first song to the last, it’s the “European
Trailer Park” version of Journey. Neither the bass line of
Marcel Jacob nor the drums of Jamie Borger make any sort of impression
and leaves the CD to fall completely on its face.
Band members: Mikael Erlandsson (vocals), Andy Malecek (guitar),
Jamie Borger (drums), Thomas Lassar (keyboards), Marcel Jacob (bass)
