Dale Toth and his band have written some remarkable songs that actually mean something. The band themselves are a tightly connected unit, overflowing with talent and ability, especially Ritchie Ridriguez. His guitar solo's are brilliantly crafted and expertly produced.

The only minor gripe that i have with htis CD is a lack of variety.

All of the songs have emerged from the same basic rock thinking pool. Maybe the next album could include some melodic tunes.

The best track on the album is 'Goodbye To Yesterday'. It comprises a solid beat and backing with a very catchy chorus, good lyrics and some fine musicianship.
The album is self released and you can write to Rattlebone at 945 Huff Ave, manville, NJ 08835
