 Without soul & passion, even instrumental rock ‘n’ roll never provokes the right enjoyment.

 The guitar of founding member Manny Charlton is rendered unrecognizable by the production and lack of inspiration.

Nazareth's 1986 album 'Cinema' marks a clear turn towards generic 80s commercial hard rock, resulting in a production that is loud but lacks soul and dynamic variation. The guitars, drums, and bass feel anonymous and uninspired, overshadowing the band’s capabilities. Vocalist Dan McCafferty's delivery is strong but insufficient to rescue the album from its blandness. Only the ballad 'A Veteran’s Song' offers a glimpse of genuine emotion. Overall, 'Cinema' reflects a low point before the band eventually recovers. Discover why Nazareth’s 'Cinema' struggled in the 80s hard rock scene – listen and judge for yourself!

 The familiar rough, proletarian voice of McCafferty makes its way, a true alien body compared to the plastic and dance-like trends surrounding it.

 The mature Nazareth stagger but don’t give up, in this instance aspiring to be cool but not too soft.

Nazareth's fifteenth album, The Catch (1984), struggles to balance their rock roots with 80s disco influences. While McCafferty's distinctive voice remains strong, many tracks fall into uninspired disco rock rhythms. Standout songs like 'Moondance' and 'Love of Freedom' show warmth and originality, but rushed covers like 'Ruby Tuesday' disappoint. Overall, the album chases trends without fully capturing them, representing a challenging period before the band returned to harder rock. Discover the clash of rock and disco in Nazareth’s The Catch – listen and judge this pivotal 80s album yourself!
