    Another amazing melodic rock album from Gotthard, 2008-08-30
I don't think Swiss melodic rock masters Gotthard have ever released a bad album, but did they ever kick things up a notch with their third release, 1996's G. Their self-titled debut was good, and Dial Hard was even better, but G is a near-flawless melodic rock album.

br /I always struggle to adequately describe Gotthard, but in the end I settle for calling them the Swiss Bon Jovi. They've got heart, soul, class, and style, and their brand of radio-friendly melodic rock is always fun and rarely cheesy. G is a highly polished, good-time rock roll album that is at times funky (their cover of Dylan's Mighty Quinn), bluesy (Sweet Little RR), and always rockin' (the whole album). The guitar hooks are great, the melodies are infectious, and I just love Steve Lee's raspy voice. As soon as this album hits the CD player, it's like being invited to a party. If you like rock roll and are capable of smiling, you're invited!

br /G remains one of Gotthard's best releases, and is one of my absolute favorite melodic rock albums. This is the kind of album that would appeal to a huge audience, if only mainstream radio would pay attention. At least the Swiss seem to get it. Over there everything Gotthard puts out hits multi-platinum status. Bottom line: If you like melodic rock; buy this album.
br /
br /NOTE: The Japanese import version of G (which I was lucky enough to run across used) has an additional track, an absolutely blistering cover of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song. I almost never recommend these pricey Japanese imports, but in this case that one song makes it a worthwhile purchase.

    Give this album a chance, 2004-05-05
With "G" (1996), Gotthard show that they have developed musically. Even if their earlier albums have been good, this one is a lot better. It sure seems as Gotthard have put a decent amount of effort into the song writing and arrangements as well. "G" is an album for those who love great singing and melodic rock without a layer of cheese. Especially singer Steve Lee and guitar player Leo Leoni shine, and the rhythm section is really tight. The music business is not fair which Gotthard is a living proof of. This band hasn't made it big and it's a shame because I know that there are a lot od people out there who would love this melodic and skilful heavy metal/ hard rock band if they only knew about them. I highly recommend this solid and strong four star album (close to five stars) and if you chose to take a chance on this album, you will get groovy tunes like "Sister moon" "make my day", speedy rockers by the name of "Moving on", "Hole in one", and "Ride on", heavy numbers such as "Fist in your face", a great cover of Dylan's "Mighty quinn", and of course a couple of slower ones in "One life, one soul" "let it be".
