Pandoras Box by Cherry Bomb: Album Review
The music of Cherry Bomb is a mixture of classic heavy metal and hard rock from the 1980s and 1990s. The sensational vocal accompaniment is quite melodic and hits all the right notes. The band’s album “Pandoras Box” is filled with thirteen powerful tracks all bringing the essence inside the life of a party through the soundtrack of rock and roll.
With some bright synth arrangements and solid rock riffs, the fun starts off with a banger in “No Beer In The Fridge”. The guitarist is a magician with their hands. They cast spells worthy in the gritty realm of blues rock as well as the glam forefront of melody. As we move on to slower numbers such as “I’m Your Man”, we get a taste of the sentimental side of the band through acoustic rhythms and emotional piano sequence. The songs of the album are filled with such passionate solos that ultimately bring out a grin on your face. In “Metalheadz 4 Ever” it feels like the band plays a prank at first causing confusion with an acoustic chant in such a metal title, but when the guitarist asks that section to kindly step aside and cause a distorted wave of chaos the real element of the track commences with a solid background.
The album ends with an emotional outlook in “Always On My Mind” and it is truly a special ode and a wonderful way to bid adieu to the album. The solos on the track are a divine shredding experience to hear!
