On their fifth full length cd in the last ten years PC69 is still displaying an absolute dominance of this genre. With the commercial appeal of Dokken or VanHalen and the heavy precision of Maiden or Ozzy, I can't think of another band that has released five consecutive cds with this kind of consistency. These songs are so good you almost need to pause between them to really appreciate how good each one is. If you haven't heard this band yet, you are truly missing out. I have literally run out of adjectives that can properly describe how fully this band excels at every facet of their trade. Every instrument on every song ... every melody, every note -- Every detail of every song has been honed to perfection. In any case, they managed to find a way to improve what was already a nearly a perfect sound. After helping out with guitar duties for the last few years on tour, Uwe has been added as a full member of the band. With two guitarists in the studio, the music has taken on a slightly harder edge -- Queensrychey at times, almost Priest-like in other places. Music just doesn't get better than this. This is just essential. --
