User Album Review
A refreshing and diverse formula, XIII is a polished album which keeps you listening as the tracks go from tender uptempo ballads to catchy Rock numbers. Starting off strong, the engaging “We’re Gonna Make It” sets the precedent for the entire album. “Not Feeling Anything” belongs in a 1980’s movie, strikingly reminiscent of Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” from the 1986 film Top Gun. A steady rocker, “Fair Warning” contains a well-paced groove and warns something big is coming. Up next, “It’s Electric” embodies an affecting groove and some good musical nuances to add some flavor to a track that may remind listeners of the band Extreme (“Get The Funk Out,” “Rest In Peace”). “Where You Belong” places Bulsara’s gratifying pipes on display before “Can’t Breathe Anymore,” and, a style of song on every ’80s Arena Rock album, the anthemic “Get Ready For Some Hard Rock.”
Overall, from beginning to end, TNT’s XIII offers a thought-provoking collection of Arena Rock songs touched by the right magic chords to engage a listener. Whether the song is based in heartbreak or enjoying life’s pleasures, Bulsara soars as TNT’s charismatic new vocalist, and, even with a whisper, Bulsara shows an irresistible and impassioned range. Furthermore, the combination of Le Tekrø, Dahl, and Husemoen are superb in displaying a natural talent for creating inviting melodies and esthetic song arrangements.
