Sorry, but I had something different in mind when I read the promotional description: "Power, volume, sweat, adrenaline, and soul." I should have read the description more thoroughly, as it clearly states: "The fourth album "Odyssey" by HORISONT offers exactly the sound that pushed hippie rock aside in the 70s, uniting heavy rock and prog while also bringing a new darkness to the music. The rock trip of the 5 Swedes may be retro, but their songwriting is timeless."
I boldly accepted the review assignment, only to be surprised (?) with 12 classic hard rock songs. HORISONT delivers exactly that kind of music that makes me leave the dance floor. There are also good hard rock bands, like FOO FIGHTERS, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, GODSMACK, WOLFMOTHER, and JET. But they all have that alternative-garage-grunge-stoner-rock vibe in their awesome music, which HORISONT unfortunately lacks. They really have the classic 70s sound à la DEEP PURPLE, LED ZEPPELIN, QUEEN, SCORPIONS, KISS, THIN LIZZY, and WHITESNAKE. And I just don't like their music (if you disregard the few worldwide hits of these bands).
The fact is, HORISONT clearly pass me by, and the very good sound doesn't change that. However, fans of the aforementioned bands are likely to enjoy the 62 minutes of "Odyssey".
