The really great thing about this kind of music is every so often along comes an artist who you may never have heard of, now that’s never a bad thing and especially when they are as talented as Bryan Cole and his debut release ‘Sands Of Time’ and what a listening pleasure this album really is from the opening blues infused riffs and soulful vocals of ‘Jim Peterik’ classic and opening track ‘Burning With A Reason’ which is covered here with a great deal of perfection. The big hooks and bigger choruses of ‘Hard To Find An Easy Way’ which is infectious and foot-tapping at its very best an anthemic stadium rocker which will have you chanting hard to find an easy way and reaching for your six string air guitar and strike up your best guitar god pose. ‘What Kind Of Fool’ ‘Turn To Me’ and ‘Courage To Love’ sees out the Jim Peterik additions and overall they are great, infact superb covers that hold up to the originals like a great melodic standoff screaming i am a ‘Survivor’ with the expected massive hooks even Mike Tyson would be proud, and riffs to appease even the most dedicated air rockers out there. ‘I’ll Be There For You’ is a track written by Bryan Cole and its a beautiful little ballad, filled with emotion, and passion which shows through the vocals haunting riffs and heartfelt lyrics ‘ Time After Time, I Will Be There For You On Your Darknest Night My Love Will Shine, I Will Be There For You’.
‘We Lost The Fire’ is the second new song written by ‘Bryan Cole’ and long time writing partner ‘DJ Gleason’ and its a little stunner in keeping with the whole flavour of the album it has big hooks and big choruses backed up by big riffs and really showcases the writing talent of the pair.
To summarise Melodic Records have created nothing short of a melodic masterpiece with ‘Sands Of Time’ the big hooks, the big choruses, the great riffs there is something for everyone and even a little more.
If you are lucky enough to find Bryan Cole’s ‘Sands Of Time’ in your Christmas stocking this year then your loved one really does love you, as this is a gift that will just keep giving you joy all year every year
