Title: Heavy with melody
Product review: I fell across Rata Blanca when my son was doing a class report on Argentina. We needed some music samples, so we did some more research on the band. Even though I do not speak Spanish, music is a universal language and these guys can lay it down. Sure, it sounds like big hair 80's metal. But, it has more melody than most of today's stuff, it has a great lead guitarist (Walter Giardino) who has studied his Blackmore properly and Gabriel Marian can sing. Even though I do not speak their native tongue, I can dig the tunes and this disc is a great play. I have grown fond of it and it sits quite nicely with my Yngwie, Joe Stump and instrumental discs. It isn't computers, machines and looping. It's 'lay it down and let's rock' 80's melodies and if you don't care for the syrup, you may not go for it. But, if you cut your teeth on big hair and you want to hear what it influenced, check out some Rata Blanca.
