SOME OTHER PLACE, SOME OTHER TIME-HEAVENS EDGE (PERRIS RECORDS)

This is the same album MTM released a couple of years ago, so not a new album from HEAVENS EDGE. Nevertheless, this is the American release of the band's second CD and this CD contains a few bonustracks that can not be found on the European release. Although these songs are a little sensational, still a nice welcome to fans of HEAVENS EDGE and 'real' melodic hardrock. My favourite on this disc remain the same and include the DOKKEN/VALENTINE typed 80s melodic rock anthem "Rock steady", the hookladen cheerful 80s melodic rocker "Jacky" (a la AUTOGRAPH, DANGER DANGER), the acoustic AOR Ballad "Just another fire" and the lovely semi AOR/Melodic Rockballad "Just can't cry anymore". I wonder when the guys will release a new album, because 'Some other place, some other time' was really a great melodic rockalbum and a must to have for fans of 80s DOKKEN!
