‘Open road’ is already the 4th CD of the French band SILENCE. SILENCE is made up of lead singer BEN VENET and multi-instrumentalist BRUNO LEVESQUE, together responsible for almost everything on the CD and I must say they have delivered a great piece of work, maybe their best effort so far. The song “Time keeps running” has been in my head all summer long, a real superb catchy uptempo summerish AOR/Melodic Rocker that screams out the same breath as the 1980s/early 90s DOMINOE and DAYTONA ‘The best of…so far’ records from 15+ years ago, with a chorus that BON JOVI forgot to write. This is by far the best song, a real winner for the fans of fun uptempo AOR/Melodic Rock and one of the highlights of 2008! The rest of the CD is a little less sensational, but still very interesting to check out, as SILENCE brings catchy AOR/Melodic Rock sounding like a mix between DARE (instrumental, soundwise) and BONFIRE (vocally). Other highlights are “Forgive me” (semi-ballad), “On my way back home” (midtempo AOR), “Jealousy” (AOR ballad) and “Voices” (midtempo, slightly modern).
