Shout
It Won't Be Long / In Your Face
(KMG Records)
19 songs of some of the best guitar driven
metal you've heard. Ken Tamiplin (cousin to
Sammy Hagar) and Chuck King (Idle Cure) but
forth some fantastic guitar solo, harmonizing
metal songs ever written. If you old
enough to remember bands like Boston or Foreigner
then this
re-release
of
two
albums on
one CD, by the seminal ‘80s Christian
metal band Shout, may be just what you’ve
been waiting for. The albums contained on this
CD are 1988’s ‘It Won’t Be
Long’ and 1989’s ‘In Your
Face’. Fronted by veteran Christian rocker
Ken Tamplin, Shout play competent hard-edged
AOR in a way that CCM Magazine described in
March 1989 as “fast, loud, fast and loud,
loud and fast, and ever louder and faster…” This
isn’t just thrash music, though, there
are songs with strong lyrical content that
encourage us to get ever deeper into our relationship
with the Father. There are some stand-out tracks,
such as “Shout”, “Showdown”, “Without
You”, and “Getting Ready”.
Some of the songs sound a little dated, whilst
others don’t seem to go anywhere. However,
that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth
listening to. If you like Petra, David & The
Giants and the like, then you will love this.
Good lyrics, good music, good value! Buy it.
