BRAVE THE STORMWith American bands trying to sound British and vice versa, it's getting difficult to keep things straight. Shy are a case of the latter aiming for a full-bodied, American, hook-orientated style popular on our AOR airwaves. They combine pure pop and rock with a wall of keyboard runs to soften the blow of the guitar rifts. They might not be hard rock by some standards, but their harmonies and melodies on "Hold On," "My Apollo," "The Hunter" and the title track will knock you out for sure! You will be surprised at the wonderfulness if "Reflections" re-recorded is heard. From this album, "Hold On" and "Reflections" are put on the market by the single. The music recorded on its 7 and 12 inches obtains permission of BMG U.K., and this album non-recorded music is recorded on "Brave The Storm" only in Japan. As for "Hold On", unlike the album, version is Extended Version. "Stranger In Town" is the music of the session of this album. "DEEP WATER" and "Give Me A Chance" are the same music as a first album. "TWO HEARTS" and "Behind Closed Doors" are the live in THE BURN of the summer of 1984. You are knocked out by the merit of this music if "Behind Closed Door" was recorded on this album. 1985 release (1996 relapse) |
