Finally: the newest review from the big UK, Rock/METAL magazine PowerPlay on the "Different View" album (Read it in the latest PowerPlay magazine):


MIDDLEAGE
"Different View"
Genre: HeavyRock/Metal
Hot Wheel Records

This is a great debut album from Stockholm based
rockers MIDDLEAGE, once again proving the quality
of music coming out of Sweden right now. With a blend
of early Linkin Park, a hint of HIM and a dash from
Godsmack this is tightly packaged in an album that took
just five days to record and mix, although that certainly
doesn´t show on listening to the album.

Opener "Rewind" is an instant winner as it grabs you by
the ears, with distorted guitars leading into the excellent
clean and scream vocal mix. and is a great standout track.
That can sometimes lead to disappointment further into
an album, but not in this case. The track "Different View" has
a great drum opening and pounding bassline.
"Separated" is bound to be a great live track, as is "Open me"
intensely moody with a catchy chorus. which gets you singing
along from first listen.

There´s a mildly confusing unlisted 30 seconds of vocals between
that and the next track, the angst driven "Not Afraid",
which has an almost progressive feel to it at times. Next up is
another standout track "Fire" with some finely picked guitar
work opening it and soaring clean vocals. I could easily see
this one making some good radio airtime.

"Hungry Needs" picks the pace up again before slow closer
"Someone to reach for" A Fine rock ballad with superb
instrumental breaks in it.

Although a relatively short album, what they have laid down here
is more than worth listening to, perhaps showing they´re not
prepared to just record anything to make up the time on the album
It´s about time more Debuts had this kind of class as "Different View"
is a gritty and mature offering, which speaks of great things to come.

POWERPOINTS: 8/10
