Info:

After a lengthy hiatus, former Accept vocalist David Reece has become one of the hardest working musicians in rock. On the follow-up to 2009's Damage Control, Tango Down recruited Reece to replace the departed Alex Barbeiri and welcomed bassist Chris Konys back into the fold. The result is a very satisfying melodic rock album that sounds more like classic Bangalore Choir than that band's current Metaphor release. Identity Crisis is all about over-the-top harmonies and an endless supply of guitar hooks -- not unlike label mates Farcry, partly thanks to the flawless production of Bombay Black's Ty Sims. One thing I noticed right away was how Reece's voice has steered Tango Down into a more melodic direction, simply because he is more of a traditional rock singer than the gruffer Barbeiri. It's not a huge change, as the Tango Down blueprint is still clearly visible, but the slightly mellower direction means the band is a bit more accessible this time around.
