Super Eurobeat 136 

1.Matt Land - Pamela (A-Beat C)
When my favorite male vocalist is put as the album opener I'm always happy (well like that happens very often [not the being happy, I'm actually quite a jolly fellow]). Matt Land has kept his charisma and the song works pretty much only on his awesome singing. The song is his worst to date, but it's not a bad performance, it just doesn't reach the level of his previous classics. Perhaps I just have set too high standards for him? Who knows...
Rating : 8+

2.Susy Wender - Look In Your Eyes (A-Beat C)
A very cheery song from a new name to the scene. Excellent vocals and the interestingly variable backgrounds really make the song a great continue for the album. The chorus could've been slightly more charismatic but as it is, it also works really well. A great song to get your spirit high.
Rating : 9-

3.Kevin Johnson - Promises (Delta)
A boring intro turns out to be a false prophet. Kevin Johnson has done some nice tracks before and this one is one of those 'nice' songs that don't really change anything but just sound good. A great melody and an excellent mechanic solo in the middle.
Rating : 8

4.Kim Loren - Waiting For Your Love (Time)
Kim Loren had a really perky song titled The Logical Song some time back and I was quite looking forward to new releases and now she's here again. This song is your every day eurobeat dose that doesn't change the genre not even slightly and doesn't offer anything to make it stick out from the crowd. The vocals are good, and the c-melody works damn well, but the rest... not too much to say about them.
Rating : 7

5.King & Queen - Fly Into The Moonlight (A-Beat C)
Yeah! New King & Queen, the moment I heard the intro I knew I'd love this song (well quite frankly I almost could predict it before hearing the song). This eurobeat title has such a high standard with all of their releases that you gotta respect them for that. This is one of the strongest performances out to date, the song has enough edge for a couple of eurobeat songs and the chorus in its simplicity is just awesome.
Rating : 9½

6.Priscilla - Crash Boom! Bang! Bang! (Delta)
Priscilla had some memorable songs on Euromachs some years back and this song follows the formula of those great songs pretty closely. The backgrounds are very happy and the vocals are plain nonsense but who listens to them anyways? It's all in the groove.
Rating : 9

7.Ace Warrior - Fight For Love Tonight (A-Beat C)
A cool intro with electric guitars turns out to a hyper song with tremendously energetic vocals. Pretty typical A-Beat C material in a way, but at the same time it's got a distinctive touch that makes it feel more special than many other songs. A great song that earns high points for the great vocals.
Rating : 9

8.Nando - Black Or White (Delta)
Nando's slow pace of releasing songs is quite strange as his songs aren't all that good in the end anyways. He has done some okay tracks but they sure don't got the potential that ie. many other Delta male vocalists have. A song with good backgrounds, but the vocals don't have much in them to make the song very good.
Rating : 7½

9.Sophie - Love Devotion & Surrender (Time)
Sophie is one of the most over respected name if you ask me, she's been around for a long time but even though her long career she hasn't released very many memorable songs (though the few classics she has released are truly awesome). This song is very much like the majority of her releases and is plain ok, nothing spectacular nor bad.
Rating : 7+

10.Monique - Ev'rybody Can Dance (A-Beat C)
The first impression is always important, this song didn't manage to make a good one if I'm considered. The song goes on quite neutrally, it doesn't offer any real highlights or good parts to grab to. The song though managed to grow on me, after I had listened to the album quite a lot this song got better all the time, Monique's vocals aren't very good but the track is at least rather good, just takes time to get inside of it.
Rating : 8+

11.Tokyo Future - Da Burning Tokyo (Delta)
This song was one of those songs that goes by and you don't even realize there was a song there. There's a very non-existant melody somewhere deep down in there, the sounds are crappy even the generally best part of eurobeat songs the c-melody is boring, and when even the vocals are crappy I can't do nothing but give this song a crappy grade.
Rating : 6-

12.Norma Sheffield - Sweet Heart (A-Beat C)
When I think back to my previous reviews I feel that I've said this before as well, but: The song starts out with a beautiful intro, like oh so many other Norma's songs. The song is a mid-tempo (That's mid-tempo for eurobeat, for those wiseasses who'll whine to me otherwise) and sounds very calm, but that's not necessary a good thing. The track would be a good song probably if you wanted to fall asleep, but I wouldn't really listen to this otherwise.
Rating : 7-

13.Time Force - C'Mon & Move On Up (Time)
It's always nice when flavours from different genres are mixed into eurobeat, this time the track is flavored with a hint of R&B style guitars and sounds. The track is rather crappy (well if it's got R&B style in it, it can't be a good thing) and even the chorus manages to be very neutral, it doesn't really bring out any feelings what so ever.
Rating : 6

14.Delta Queens - Time To Go! (Delta)
An excellent intro with a keyboard and female vocals backing the melody up. As soon as the beat is added in the song turns into a real joyride. The melody is really cool and the vocals create a huge appeal-factor for the song. The track isn't the best one on the album but still from the better end.
Rating : 8½

15.Dave Rodgers - The Race Is Over (A-Beat C)
Cool guitars in the intro, I'm thrilled. Well let's not be mean to Uncle Dave, right? Actually I've got good things to tell this time, where as I still don't like his vocals, this song is rather good. The melody is good and the chorus is very catchy. It's very uncommon that I like a Dave Rodgers song from the very beginning, but this is one of those few songs. Also the c-part works marvellously.
Rating : 9-

Final Words :
This album starts out pretty well with strong performances but it slowly get's worse and worse, there's a small spark of light at the end but the mid-parts of this album are pretty neutral and a couple of actually bad songs are in the mix as well. Not all terrible of course and the King & Queen song offers a real treat for the fans of the band, also a good song from Dave Rodgers, so it's gotta be at least an okay album, right?

Final Score : 8-
