HIGH SPIRITS - Motivator

(High Roller)
Third album of energized hard rock from America. Sort of late ‘70s, guitar driven proto metal, with clean vocals: a sound that narrow-minded, non-metal fans might also enjoy. “Reach For The Glory” rises above its eight neighbors, upping the ante in terms of pace. The fuzzy riffing of “Haunted By Love” is particularly infectious.
First single “Take Me Home”, while shorter and slightly more refined, is not that different from its surroundings. Standout, of the short snappy, similar-minded constructs is “Down The Endless Road”. Throughout, the mix makes each individual instrument easily discernible. Appropriately, ends with the almost boogie of “Thank You”.
