Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Rainbow Rising gets. Rainbow Rising simply stated is one of their best CDs to date.
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Rainbow Rising. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Rainbow most impressive releases ever.
Listen to Rainbow Rising and I believe you’ll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this CD.
While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - Run With The Wolf, track 4 - Do You Close Your Eyes, and track 6 - Light In The Black
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Tarot Woman. Good stuff!
