THE REVIEW

A very interesting album, the first track deceives us into thinking of an electronic start but then we realize it's the usual Lenny rock.
The sound, however, is very good and provides an incredible energy boost, an album to listen to among very engaging tracks and more melodic tracks, a pop-rock that occasionally takes us back to the traditional 70s even though the sound is a bit different.
From my point of view, it's a very smooth CD, to be listened to at least 2-3 times in full.
A change is noticeable from Lenny, somewhat more refined chords and an electric guitar very present but not too heavy.
The change in his style is not parallel to his aesthetic change, perhaps for Lenny, change only meant an aesthetic one, as his album somewhat revisits his previous ones, although here I seem to find some more interesting hints and the lyrics say so too.
A good CD - a star to be respected - a little Jimi Hendrix in miniature.
