Tango Down continued their effort with a new singer, Alex Barbeiri, after Phil Naro decided to left the band, and what makes Tango Down very similar to Talon apart from both are Kivel Records artists, is they seem to have a different singer on each album, and that also goes with the third albums. What typical about 'Damage Control' is even though it's released in 2009, it's basically an 80s flavored music and sounds very nostalgic if you love that genre.

A solid and pretty consistent songs throughout the album, despite 2-3 bumpy tracks such as 'I Can't Wait' which is the worst song; 'I'm Done Lovin' You' with a weak verse; and 'I Wanna', not a bad song but won't be missed if it's gone. Best tracks here are 'All Fall Down', check out the riffs and the chorus; 'Change', which could be a great radio hit if it's done in the 80s; 'Step By Step' and 'Radio', two marvelous melodic gems; and 'Intoxicated', a very good acoustical ballad.

Problem is, most of the best songs can't go beyond the 90% value, and the rest are around 75%, and it comes down to a point that 'Damage Control' is a satisfying good hard rock album, but not really outstanding that'll make you cry for years if you don't have this album. The reasonable rating for this album overall should be around 75%, or 80% top.
