I'm a big fan of Scandinavian metal, so I was eager to check out this new Swedish
Hard Fm band called
W.E.T. This is their debut album. The name W.E.T is an acronym, in which each letter stands for the first letter of the main band that the performer is active in. The W stands for the band
Work Of Art, that guitarist Robert Sall belongs to. The letter E represents the band
Eclipse, that bassist and keyboard player Erik Martenson are members of. The letter T signifies the band
Talisman, for which vocalist
Jeff Scott Soto is the main performer.
These 3 artists play for bands that work for the same label, Frontiers Records.
That is how they met. They had similar musical tastes and ideas, especially with the songwriting. So they decided to join their efforts with this project band.
Vocalist
Jeff Scott Soto has worked with Yngwie Malmstrom,
Axel Rudi Pell,Soul SircUs, and
Journey. There are also a lot choruses to back up his vocals. The main focus of the lyrical content seems to be about falling in love and relationships.
The first song, Invincible, starts off sounding like like a Don Henly song, then picks up the pace like a
Dokken song. It's accompanied with keyboards.
One Love rocks like another
Dokken song, with keyboards. There is a cool guitar solo that sounds very complex, like something on a
Dream Theater album.
Brothers In Arms sounds very cheesy like
Journey, with some faster interludes of music that sound similar to
Dream Theater. It has a cool ending with a keyboard solo. Running From The Heartache sounds like
REO Speedwagon. There is some talented guitar playing in this song. I'll Be There is a more explosive song, sounding more like
Van Halen with
Sammy Hagar. Damage Is Done is a lively song that sounds like something that
Bon Jovi would do. Put Your
Money Where Your Mouth Is sounds like
Van Halen with
Sammy Hagar. One Day At A Time sounds slower and more emotional, it sounds like a Don Henly pop song. Just Go is the best song on this album, it rocks like
Billy Squier or
Loverboy. My Everything sounds like
Van Halen with
Sammy Hagar. If I
Fall sounds like
Journey.
These songs capitalize on love. There isn't enough darkness to balance this album out. Similar bands are
Van Halen(Van Hagar),
Journey, and
Dokken(just their boring love songs).
