DORO - LET LOVE RAIN ON ME
Doro "Let Love Rain on Me" Album Review
And now for something completely different
There are times in the career of Doro where she could be reasonably accused of bandwagon jumping. Firstly there was her album Machine II Machine which was overtly electronic and industrial sounding and actually there was a remix of it called the 'electric club mix' way back in the mid 90's. Now we find the metal heroine putting out classical music versions of some metal standards? OK, I'll admit I was pretty sceptical.
The reason to be for this release is the lead song which the punter gets to listen to in three different languages. Which was certainly interesting, even for my ears (which only speak one language if you get my meaning). So while the value of these tracks was personally a bit limited, it was at least something fun perhaps for the artist to try and for her fans.
For my mind where this release scores it's three stars is the utterly weird feeling you get when you hear the rest of the EP. I mean the woman has done Judas Priests 'Breaking the Law' with classical backing and it actually almost works. I say almost as a compliment because I'd never have believed that it could come even this close to coming off.
Then there is the old Warlock standard of I Rule the Ruins which also sounds pretty darn cool. Now this ain't gonna get everyone bopping along, in fact some might hate it. But the fact is that this is so different that it's quite an interesting little recorded document. And the track does have powerful use of strings.
The bonus video track adds a bit of value for fans.
Not an important or necessary release, but this is really an interesting/intriguing bunch of toons and is worth a listen for even the casual Doro fan.
