5 Excellent - Masterpiece. A classic.

Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style.
Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings
is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a
qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being
technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun. The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

French hard rockers capturing the spirit of 80s melodic hard rock
Archange was established in 2013 with the intention of capturing the 80s melodic rock sound. The French act does a good job capturing that, creating smooth, driving rhythms with an upfront bass (hear "Machine Gun") within the pocket drums. It is formulaic, somewhat retreading in prior footsteps but is polished with enough precision to sound convincing. Highlight for me is the faster, punchier track "The Ride" with singer Dan Pallas' resemblance to Scorpions' Klaus Meine.
Recommended for fans of: Cannon, Bonfire, Scorpions, Shakra
