Androids – Let It All Out (1988)

For aor-hard rock fans, who like the 80’s sound and bands like Glory, Treat or the first Europe style. Androids was one of the biggest hidden secrets of the late 80’s hard rock scene in europe. They had their influences in Van Halen, Aerosmith and Deep Purple.

Haunted by a really bad luck from their record company, they never even had a chance to make it abroad. In Finland they had one hit single “Same As You”, with a matching video played over and over on national television in 1987-88. The other ‘hit’ (an acoustic ballad) “When The Sun Turns To Rain” won a national TV-Show called “Levyraati” over Roxette’s “Listen To Your Heart”!

The album “Let It All Out” was released only in Finland and Spain, due to the financial problems in their record company. Some negotiations were on a possible Japanese version, which never took place in the real world. Scarlette’s voice is very similiar to Heavy Pettin’s Steve “Hamie” Hayman. As for the songs started with the titled “Let It All Out” is an excellent starter,catchy and with a nice chorus, “Hard Lovin’ Girl” is a song that i really liked ,thumbs up four this track, the same goes to “Same As You” which is wonderful, “When The Sun Turns To Rain” is a very nice acoustic ballad, “Quick And Quiet” is a pretty cool rock number, “Runnin’ Around” has this AOR flavour ,excellent! and the best track of the album is the last one “Ten Thousand Years”
