H.E.A.T. - Address The Nation (Release: Starting March 23, Sony (Gain))

Starting march 23 the latest by these swedish guys will be released progressively all over Europe and Brazil. This album rocks from the opening track Breaking The Silence, sounding much of Lay Your Hands On Me from Bon Jovi's New Jersey to the last tune Downtown and amazing mid-tempo with some backing guitars and keys that reminds of the early Mike & The Mechanics in a harder vein. This album is a shot of energy with the exception of The One And Only, a beautiful ballad that if Sony (Gain) CEOS ain't stupid will be the next single.
Production and sound is good and songwriting is polished with tracks like Heartbreaker and It's All About Tonight that sounds much of Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet era or Falling Down with some chords sounding much of Journey. And is gratifying to listen to some saxophone in In An Out Of Trouble a beautiful and sensual instrument forgotten by Rock acts in the last two decades.
We shouldn't forget new singer Erik Grönwall and is fair to tell the guy does a very good job though sometimes reminds of Jon Bon Jovi.
