D-Day's Revenge...
Speak Your Mind!
Eldorado
self titled
This album starts off with a BANG with the song "House Of The Seven Smokestacks". After getting over the initial thoughts of the story "House Of The Seven Gables", the song takes over with it's energy and general "fun" sound. It's a bit in the Buckcherry type style, with some great musicianship and production. I was impressed upon my first listen and have been playing it each week on my radio show at Wicked Spins Radio.
After that intial song, it tends to get more into the general "radio friendly" type music. The second song "The Rocket Song", is still rockin' to a degree... but starts the continual drop-off in heaviness that will be apparent for the rest of the album.
I do think that the third song, "Atlantico" is a true gem of a mellow song, however. I played this one numerous times over after hearing it and will make that a song that I play on a normal basis.
The remainder of the disc gets skipped over by me for the most part, I'll admit. As far as the talent and overall sound, it is outstanding! With the proper promotion, I can see Eldorado flooding the airwaves throughout the world! They are THAT good!
I'm a bit amazed as to how I'm not hearing them to the point of nausia already. Some major label out there is really missing an opportunity.
Where the first part of the album and then later on with "Free (A Chain Reaction)" is fairly rocking... the remainder is more along the lines of "radio rock" that many rock stations play a million times each day.
In a nutshell.... Eldorado should be rich and winning grammies. It may not be my personal cup of tea as a whole... but they are indeed talented as Hell.
