adding a lot of flavor to this track. Listening is a true experience with great musicianship and amazing singing. Kenny's voice gave me goose bumps with his powerful vocals in “Shine”--boasting great melodies with Heavy Metal influences; coupled with Classic Music echoes worthy of a stadium. I greatly appreciate the voice of Kenny Matel. He is a fantastic vocalist whose singing is clear as crystal, allowing the listener to understand every word in the lyrics. Another plus is that he sings with such passion, that one can HEAR that he put all of his heart into his vocals! “Out Of Control” is the best example of that, where stellar guitar work and an epic rhythm section meld great lyrics with crisp singing. This is very enjoyable to listen to and one can feel the spirit of retro Hard Rock. Another notable track is titled “Weekend Rush”, which has a memorable Hard Rock sound with influences a la KINGDOME COME and RATT. The vocals are delivered with pulsing passion and in a style reminiscent of HELLOWEEN. RICK MISZEWSKI and CHET KING enhance the ambiance with their bass and drum contributions. And, what an incredible guitar solo punctuates this song! Guitarist MATT VOGT (also producer) proves that he is a seasoned and stellar musician. Another example is his performance in the touching ballad “Angelina” with his haunting solo in the vein of such bands like SCORPIONS, WARRANT, SKID ROW, AEROSMITH or QUEENSRŸCHE. Also worth a listen are the songs “Get a Little”--a great example of expert playing and vocal ability with echoes of SAXON, and the song “One Minute To Midnight”--boasting influences of Glam Metal like MOTLEY CRÜE. Summing up, JÄGER creates excellent music that proves that they can perform both moving ballads and the power songs that are the heart of Hard Rock. This CD compiles their best musically, sure to be enjoyed by their fans, old and new. With each listen, it left me wanting more! Their lyrics and music are sure to grab you by the heart! In my opinion, every song is potential hit. I'm sure that every fan of Hard Rock, Metal and the 80’s Rock era will love this CD Weekend Rush. If I were to rate it, I would proclaim it nothing less than a masterpiece! http://www.reverbnation.com/jagerrocks https://www.facebook.com/jagerbandrocks
