Mad At the World - Seasons of Love (CD, 2024, Retroactive) Remastered Hard Rock

Description: WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SEASONS OF LOVE....They've still got that singer (Roger Rose) but most everything else has changed, and now play near-metal guitar rock with buzz saw axes and drums that hit you in the chest. Tony Cummings / Cross Rhythms Music (U.K.)The next three outings reflect the band’s second phase. Gritty guitars rule, keyboards are all but banished, and real drums replace synthesized rhythm machines. Rose also tones down his faux British accent and acquires more of the vocal snarl of a Jim Morrison or Billy Idol. Mark Allan Powell / Encyclopedia of CCMAfter a couple of times listening to the album, old MATW Fans should easily like Seasons of Love. This album will also please fans of The Cult, Danzig, The Cure, or just alternative rock in general.
