Back
in 1992 a brand newcomer band under the name of Casanova released
its second album. The first one was “Casanova”
and left people with the best impressions. So, the second album
was going to be like a barometer for the band. As a result, I can
say that Casanova took the bet cause they managed to release,
under the unique and terrific title, “One
Night Stand”, an excellent melodic rock/hard rock album.
As
genuine Casanovas, back then, they would surely have had a lot of “One
Night Stands” especially after that album! “One
Night Stand”
is full of melodies, power, smart lyrics and it will make your
day if you listen to it! In the late 80’s
- early 90’s the specific kind of music was at its high and a lot
of good, great and also crap bands had appeared in the music
industry. I believe that Casanova were one of those bands that had
all the potentials to take a leading part in the specific genre.
All the omens were with them and nothing seemed that could stop
their way to the top!
Unfortunately
at that time grunge music appeared and it was the reason that many
grand bands like Casanova “forced”
to split up. That happened cause all the music labels wanted to
find groups like Nirvana in order to make a “good”
and “commercial”
album so that they can take as much money as they could before
grunge music crashes down! Damn shit labels you have destroyed so
many bands and so much good music in the name of gold!!!
Anyway
back to the album again, and actually I cannot tell which song is
the best one! I will only refer to my favorite seven songs of the
album and do not even think that the rest of them are not good or
even better than those that I will refer to. Well, first of all I
must refer to my beloved, catchy hard rocker “Sealed
With A Kiss” which is one of the best songs of the specific genre and I’m
not exaggerating. Other highlights of this album are: the
semi-acoustic “One
Of These Days”,
the melodic
dynamite “Love’s
Crashin’
Down”,
the fast and heavy opener “Guns
Say Fire”,
the powerful mid-tempo rocker “Ticket
To The Moon”,
the melodic light-footed “I’ll
Come Runnin’”,
and the guitar driven “The
Doctor Is In”.
As
a resume, I will only say that all the fans of melodic qualitative
rock/hard rock music must have the first two Casanova albums and
especially “One
Night Stand”.
Make yourself a gift and go as soon as you can and buy this
outstanding album wherever you find it!... “Use
your fantasy, is the key, to your dreams…”
