ATKINS MAY PROJECT - Anthology
/ Published on 02-05-2015 /
I confess I do not know what to make of this"Anthology" . Let us be clear. I'm quite a fan of theAtkins May Project and I feel enormous respect for the contribution of Al Atkins to the history of Heavy Metal (NDR : remember, this young fellow of 67 years was the first singer of Judas Priest ) . However, I do not see what I could write more than what has already been said in the chronicles of the albums " Valley Of Shadows " (2012) and " Empire Of Destruction " that we have previously published. Especially the last two came out there a few months. As its name implies,"Anthology" is
a 'best of' , a compilation of songs off the three albums released
between 2011 and 2014 by the duo of Al Atkins and English guitarist Paul
May. Most titles presented here are already present on the two
aforementioned albums. Only"Dream Maker" (a ballad over twelve minutes) and "Theatre Of Fools" (a title Heavy Rock rather excellent, it must be admitted) are extracted from the album "Serpents Kiss" (2011) that had not been subject to criticism ears Music In Belgium. The interest is rather limited. And it is not the pitiful recovery of "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins which
is presented bonus that will change that. Things might have been
different if, for example, Al Atkins had the good idea to offer us his
own version of"Victims Of Changes" , this classic Priest he had
composed in the early seventies. But this 'beast' assembly too recent
titles (NDR : just four years for the oldest) seems completely
unnecessary. "Anthology" might be of interest to collectors of
anything related directly or indirectly to the story Judas Priest, and
like all titles that are presented are of excellent invoice (NDR : if
one appreciates the classic Heavy Rock and unadorned), compilation could
also serve as an introduction to Atkins May Project for those who have
not yet had the opportunity to taste it. Others may prefer to invest
their money in a more consistent output. The album (78 ') :- Here Comes The Rain (9'04)
