I had no hope for this cover album of Switzerland's national heroes. Although I very much respect their work and believe that with the general idea of imitating AC/DC, they often had enough of their own original ideas, or in a good way, similar to the whole hard scene at once, and not to the specific Australians. They often succeeded in good arrangements of individual tracks, and whole albums too, to be honest. They decided to dedicate the 18th album in 41 years completely to other people's compositions. Well, a big mistake. One conclusion - House of the Rising Sun just cannot turn out bad. There is nothing else to listen to, they covered it as if they just had to work off the fee. There are no interesting arrangements, Marc Storace sings as if on his last breath. All tracks are either too banal, or the musicians try to play the original one-to-one, or maybe they are trying to do something interesting, but so without drive that I (honestly) fast-forwarded. Complete disappointment. Judging by the previous albums, the old folks still have the spark, they need to try to write their own material or retire with dignity.
