FASTWAY didn't want to miss the revival party of hard rock in 2011 but without Lea Hart on board, I doubt it will please me as they pleased me with 'On Target'. Apparently, my hesitation turns out right, and even though I think Toby Jepson is a terrific singer, all blames are on Eddie Clarke for bringing up a terribly mediocre output, if not harshly weak.

I'm not sure why 'Deliver Me' was put in the beginning, a poor track and a bland hard rock thing, and the next track after it, 'Fade Out', isn't better. The riffs are average, the verse/chorus isn't appealing, and I even spotted a grungy feel to it. Bad start! Luckily, 'Leave The Light On' steers the wheel on the right track. Great riffs, nice hard rock, they should have made this kind of track to populate the whole album but instead, they keep pumping out fillers, 'Lovin' Fool', 'Dead And Gone', 'On And On', and 'Only If You Want It' is just the worst of em all.

'Sick As A Dog' is acceptable, energetic song with great riffs and 'Freedom Song' is also okay, but I don't think 3 good songs is enough to keep this album. If they didn't go the melodic way or the right path, I think FASTWAY should just fold the cards and say goodbye.
