Description

One of the melodic rock scene's favorite vocalists is former Jaded Heart frontman Michael Bormann. ‘Conspiracy’ continues where Michael Bormann left off with Jaded Heart, even though it didn't turn out as heavy and dynamic as Jaded Heart albums like ‘IV’ and ‘Trust’ did. However, the 13 songs feature the classic Michael Bormann hooks and melodies that stick in your ear from the first moment you hear them. Not surprisingly the album's lyrical content is dominated by the singer's frustration in being ousted from the band he fronted for many years. Highlights from the alum include the opening title track Conspiracy, a lyrically biting affair with a hard hitting chorus; Stand Up, which has a great Jaded Heart style chorus and some fine lead vocals; Two Of A Kind is a good ballad in duet with (I believe) Anette Blyckert from Alyson Avenue; Living Just A Lie is one of Michael's best rocking anthem's in a long while…great stuff indeed. The album mellows at this point for a few good more laid back rock tracks. Reaching Out is another high quality track, this time a more reflective rock ballad and On Man One Soul is a perfect moody, venom-laced rock track. This is a solid album that is more than enough to keep all fans of Bormann happy. Definitely one for Jaded Heart fans and an opportunity to hear the other side of the unfortunate break up.
