Broken Melody is an italian group which has released “Face The World”. The style of the group is a mix of rock/AOR/metal with sometimes even a pop side on some tracks. The tracks are melodic sometimes extremely melodic with sometimes powerful riffs like on « The Force Of Life » or « Rising ». The compositions are good but not exceptional with breaks and changing in rhythms. The album contains fast tracks, other slowest ones and a ballad. Francesco’s vocals are relatively varied but his voice sounds more pop/rock than something else, at least for me and I find sometimes that the chorus which come reinforce his vocals are not always appropriate, I would say that they are too much on some tracks such as « Face The World », they give a pop/AOR side to these ones … now it is maybe what wants the group.
« Thousand Miles Away » is a successful ballad with nice passages at acoustic guitars.
I think that this album « Face The World » has some young « mistakes » which should disappear in the next albums.
