Album:

Lovely album that delivers great songs ala mid 80's Journey or Styx...Mark Free is in it..what can i say....best tracks for me are "Born For Broadway","Out Of Nowhere" & "Turn Your Head Around" but "We Never Said Goodbye",the strong smoothie "Say Goodbye" & "Don't Stop Dreamin'" also rule...enjoyable stuff,enough said..If you like AOR and this is a must have. With Mark Free singing you cannot go wrong. Michael Badagliacco is also great as a singer. Get it!!!

Arrival - Delayed (1999)













Year : 1999 (Vision Recording Group Records Edition)
Style : Melodic Christian Hard Rock , AOR
Country : United States
Audio : 320 kbps + all scans
Size : 120 mb

Bio:

Arrival is an christian AOR/hard rock band from Denver, Colorado, USA, that was formed in 1985. Not to be confused with Arrival also from the USA.The band was formed by guitarist Charlie McCormick and guitarist/keyboardist Ric Cabot Podmore and keyboardist Norm Peterson.

Album:

Second full-length album with another line-up.Coming out of Colorado, they are one of the better AOR bands I've heard for awhile and feature some very catchy, melodic AOR/hard rock.Great production and performance.They remind me of bands like THE STORM, TALL STORIES, JOURNEY and STEELHOUSE LANE. Top notch singing, slick guitars, huge keys and a monster size production make this CD a great listen.The singer sounds like a cross between Jimi Jamison (Survivor) & Dennis DeYoung (Styx).The music is also not far removed from either bands sound but surely not as Pomp as Styx music. Still, any of these songs would fit well on any good melodic/AOR album from years gone by.

Michael Badagliacco - lead vocals
Charlie McCormick - lead guitar, vocals
Ric Cabot Podmore - guitars, keyboards, vocals
Steve Kayden - bass, vocals
Richie Carlson - drums
