11 songs in total from the light side of acoustic style to alternative rock to the heavier side (like a Bon Jovi or Vince Neil ballad). Glenn Rowlands from the band Wicked's End is an artist which enjoys the gift of music. What else is about to happen if you spend your evenings and says off in a studio? Like, in Glenn's case, you get an 11-song project.
Three songs stuck out to me. The first being "Help Me Understand." This song just has enough good melody to make you hum along once you hear the vocals. The intro is a bit long. "Reign On Me" starts off with a mellow intro, yet picks up to a moving chorus that could feel like a worship anthem. "I Don't Have Anything" has a cool percussion feel, kind of tribal, yet, like all three cuts, they do kick in with that light to medium rock rhythm. Overall, there are at least three tunes that rock and the rest is a break to an acoustic experience. Glenn is on with a style that draws your attention. My biggest comment is to say, "Glenn, keep on recording what's on your heart." And, to the fans, "Enjoy!"
