Chosen
Solid Rock
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
This five-piece band from the Denver, Colorado area rocks with an extremely tight progressive hard rock sound and a technological-age production. Scott Michael's vocals have a great mixture of sass and crystal-clear vocals - very similar to Def Leppard's Joe Elliot. Although there's no real amazing guitar work on the album, Michael Kent performs several basic leads with precision. "Creation Cries Out" is a very pretty ballad. Once in the chorus, it sounds like a D&K song. "Save Me", probably the heaviest song on the tape, is arranged similar to a Charizma song. Overall, this is a very impressive tape. Write Chosen for purchasing info, you won't be let down production-wise. Chosen, Box 33267, Northglenn CO 80233-0267.
