Although this one suffers from some way over eq'd high end, it shows the band to be extremely talented with several great hard rock/metal tunes here -- especially "Love You Forever," which features guitarist Rick Dunlop's scorching lead playing to its fullest. Ezmarelda is a band that dates all the way back to 1974. They developed a huge local following and in 1981 were the band that opened the first show the Rolling Stones performed on their world tour. If you're looking for lyrical substance, look elsewhere; but if you want some high-energy rockers, these guys can deliver. --Bryan Baker, GAJOOB 9
