Ransom – Trouble In Paradise (1997)

This should be a record all AOR-nutcases around the world will love. It’s pure American radio friendly rock. If your diet used to be the kind of albums Beau Hill used to produce this one is definitely for you.

So I would say that it’s too many clichés and that we’ve heard it all before. So what? But of course if a sound like that make you sick maybe this one isn’t for you.
It’s a strong record right through. All rather nice performed by Tommy Girvin (vocals & guitar), Don Cromvell (bass & keyboards) and Ron Wikso (drums). Even if Tommy’s vocal performance certainly is okay I believe the album could have been lifted a bit higher with a even better vocalist.
Personal favourite is the mid-tempo rocking “Can You Fall In Love Again” with it’s steady beat.
I’m an AOR-nutcase (so much that it scares me sometimes)!
