Stephen It's been 18 years since "On Target" was released, "Cadence" is perhaps one of the widest gap releases of a band to launch their sophomore record. "Cadence" might sound slightly different than what they made in 1992, but one thing that stays the same is the spirit of creating one hell of an album, full of delicious licks, sing-along chorus, tight arrangement, and killer solos, from start to finish.

"Power Trippin" will maul your ears with loud groovy riffs, a sensational start that continues the excitement with "Martyr". A very smooth melodic rock track with a very nice vocal delivery by David Reece, and Mitchell top their game with his superb solo. "Tomorrow" sweeps like a tidal wave, the arrangement is predictable, looks like a safe choice, but well-executed. "Never Say Goodbye" moves with a happy vibe, loading the song with fun chords and thrilling chorus, a great midtempo track which is also my personal favourite. "Sweet Temptation" brings the unmistakable sound of classic Bangalore Choir, I love this track in my first spin as I love "Loaded Gun" when I first heard it thousand years ago. "Surrender All Your Love" is a fantastic finish, it's like a brilliant encore of a concert and the band is leaving the stage with a standing ovation.

Some songs have a similar sounding and grip, and probably couple of songs like "High On The Clouds" or "Spirits Too They Bleed" aren't as great as the rest, so I humbly think that squeezing the album with only ten great tracks will make this album much better. Treated with the luxury of great production and wonderful songs, "Cadence" deserved a higher place in the heart of melodic rock and glam fans all over the world.
