Review of "Obsession"
|
rade/rating: B ... Joel summarized this disc pretty well. Mattsson is an excellent guitarist and
all-around musician, creating solid melodic hardrock tunes. And Bjorn Lodin, while not too
impressive at first listen, is quite a perfect match for Mattsson's slightly Yngwie-style licks with his
strong and emotional, but raspy, vocal presence. "Obsession" doesn't offer anything too original
from the European rock/metal market -- Finland, to be specific. But that actually works to
Mattsson's advantage, tapping into a solid base of potential fans worldwide. And with several
releases from Lion Music available from both Mattsson and former project Vision, Mattsson has
an impressive catalog to match his experienced sound. Definitely worth some investigation by
hardrock fans everywhere.
