WILD FRONTIER is surely not a familiar name to many people outside melodic rock realm. Emerged from German where bands like SCORPIONS or ACCEPT are huge, this genre isn't a prospective career especially considering that year 2003 is a pretty bad year for classic style of rock, but hats off to this band, carrying the torch of this music and 'Stick Your Neck Out' is really a very satisfying result that puts my attention closely to this band.

'Wild Wind Blows' and 'Alive' opened the album in a midtempo mood and both are wonderful attempt by the band, but not until 'There For You' was played that I turned my head around. It's an acoustical easy listening piece, fits to be aired in an evening radio show, a very lovable tune. The singer's vocal is reminiscent of Joe Elliot, so it's a really friendly ride for fans of the 80s.

'Walkaway' is an astonishing ballad and so is 'I Can Hear You'. 'Through Your Eyes' might be the weakest ballad but that song itself is still quite okay too. 'Shake Your Body' is another winner with its groovy riffs; 'Life Has Just Begun' blew me away with its splendid chorus; 'We Will Be One' could be the heaviest and also a big slab of great hard rock track, but 'Hard To Control' conquers this album and rise as the best of the bunch.

Overall, a solid album and if you dig the melodic rock scene, this one is an awesome catch and deserved at least 80%!
