Enter
CD Review

enter

       I admire James Craig, lead guitar and vocalist for Enter, for going back and finishing the work of some excellent late musicians, keyboardist Johnathan Melvoin, bassist David Coleman, and drummer Sid Ferreira, even after his own battle with cancer.  As a matter of  fact , the musicianship on Enter was so great I think I may have enjoyed it more as an instrumental CD.   It had almost a Santana feel to it.  My biggest complaint was the repetitive choruses.  By the fourth track it became comical.  I knew the title of the song was going to be repeated at least three times in the chorus.  The chorus of "Look" was "Look, now look.  Look, just look.  Look, now look.  Look, just look."   The chorus of "Black Widow" was "Black widow, black widow, black widow trying to capture me."  You get the idea.   Overall, though, the music was awesome.  I loved the congas.  Perhaps just leave the repetitive choruses out, and just let the music speak for itself between the versus.
