| Taking Dawn make an all-out sonic assault that falls somewhere between Cinderella, W.A.S.P., and High ‘N’ Dry-era Def Leppard (the thick, Mutt Lange-inspired harmonies are immaculate). Nearly every cut on their Roadrunner debut is a “hands in the air” fist pump to a bygone era. Frontman Chris Babbitt’s impressive pipes suggest a more muscular Jon Bon Jovi, while the dual leads (courtesy of Babbitt and lead guitarist Mikey Cross) are omnipresent without ever coming across as excessive. It’s nostalgia, but like the Darkness, it’s nostalgia done with both a wink and a middle finger. These guys love this stuff and are very, very good at it. | |
