Now what is this? a crappy album cover and the EP opens with a cover of Tommy Tutone's classic hit "867-5309". Woah, I was expecting the worst of the worst. But never judge the book by it's cover as the saying goes and it goes for album covers as well, the Chicago based Prozac Daisies doesn't have the best band name on Earth but they're really good performers and also interesting songwriters.

Their new EP "Krazzy" contains 4 original songs and a rocking cover of "867-5309", their sound can be described as King's X in a Eleanor Rigby mood mainly because of Michelle Tess Oberlin that is the band's cellist. Yeah, I kinda like this alternative hard rock with Cello all over. Their version of the Tommy Tutone hit is very good and the following "Khalifornia" shows the band are strong songwriters as well, the 3rd track "Don't give up on me" is laid back and melodic and fits nicely into the mix of the hard rocking stuff. The 4th track "Superstitions" is more funky and groovy, once again my thoughts go to King's X just like the last track "Krazzy" where the verse is stronger than the chorus. Best track is "Khalifornia". Thumbs up!

The album opens up with Invincible that opens up with heavy riffs but turns into a wet dream for lovers of melodic AOR. The chorus is huge with lovely keyboards and the choirs are powerful, what a start of the album. One Love is next and this is pure magic and it sounds like The Rasmus goes AOR and meets Talisman and Eclipse on a dead end street. The chorus is nothing but pure magic and Jeff sings his heart out and I haven’t heard him this hungry for sometime.

The ballad Come Down Like Rain is stunning and the 2nd chorus lifts up this song even more with impressive harmony vocals. Running From The Heartache has some Giant vibes in it with great riffs, strong melodies and a chorus that knocks you down. I’ll Be There rocks big time with cool arrangements and the sounds is nothing but sensational. Damage Is Done sounds like a Talisman song. Another personal favourite song is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is. This is an awesome up-tempo rocker with American party feel over it and pounding drums with a sing-a-long chorus that will sound huge live.

Just Go is a great rocker in the best Eclipse style. The album ends with two songs that made me think of Journey and maybe it would have sounded like this if Jeff have had the chance to do an album with them. The songs I’m talking about are My Everything, an awesome up-tempo rocker and the ballad If I Fall are two magical songs. W.E.T. has done of the better albums of this year if not the best because this has it all that we melodic freaks want. This is an album I recommend highly and you won’t get much better AOR/MHR albums that this. Thanks guys for making this absolutely brilliant album that will warm up the winter cold.

The LaBlanc brothers are back with the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut 4 years ago. Falling From The Moon is even better than the debut and if you're into pink and fluffy keyboards with fantastic melodies and strong soundtrack AOR-hooks , then this is a must for you. They have come up with a brilliant 80s sounding album in the same vein as Survivor, Pride Of Lions and Glass Tiger’s Simple Mission. Singer Robbie LaBlanc sings stunning on the album and I can’t help myself to think about Alan Frew of Glass Tiger. The album opens up just amazing with I Come Alive and Falling From The Moon that are true classic AOR-songs with layers of keyboards and awesome hooklines. I Swear To You is a winner with wonderful melodies and the chorus is superb. Now you might wonder if the album holds the same quality throughout the whole album?

Yes, the brothers has written AOR by numbers through the whole album. They have managed to mix wonderful ballads with strong AOR-rockers just perfect and I have listened to this album over and over these past weeks together with W.E.T. Everything is a huge Survivor sounding ballad with lovely string arrangements. Light Of The World smells Glass Tiger for miles and this is great mid-tempo rocker with a great piano sound in the background. The chorus on I Will is fantastic with great melodies and Robbie sings amazing with great feeling. This is a safe buy for every AOR-fan out there and if you’re a sucker for 80s keyboard oriented AOR then get your money ready.

Damn good album with first class production.

I cannot help but compare this album to Blindside's brilliant album Silence although the tempo is a bit higher on this one. I like the parts on this album when they do the duo vocals, one screaming and one singing. That reminds me a bit of what Sonic Syndicate are doing. I also like when they bring down the tempo and bring out the background singers, I almost get some New Found Glory-vibes on some parts of "Caution! Boys Night Out!" and "Grow Up, Peter Pan".

This might be the best Swedish album so far this year. The production is also top notch, clean and crisp. I can hear traces of Swedish in the voice of Robert Ljung but that is a minor flaw and I am sure that will get polished off as time goes by. I can only wish there were more songs on the album, instead of just ten. Nonetheless, I predict a bright future for Adept. This is a very nice start to a hopefully brilliant career.

Fans of above mentioned band as well as Story of the Year: If you let this album pass you by, you will and should be sorry.

The best songs on here according to me are the slower songs. This is where Zuckerman's voice gets enough space to shine. I feel that his voice drowns out when there are too many layers and effects in the music and that is a shame because on songs like "To Have and To Hold" it really shines.There are however too few song where that happens. Opening "Lullaby" is another one and I like how that song starts off slowly just to build up into a full on rock song. That structure has been used before but I still like it for that song.

Apart from the things mentioned above, I feel that the production is not as good as it could have been. It is not bad, it just feels independently produced. Still, check this album out if you want some cool riffs and some interesting music that is a bit different to what you hear on the radio. It is a pretty good album after all!
