AMERICAN TEARS, the progressive keyboard trio is one of his projects that after three records in the seventies reformed in 2018 to put out \u201cHard Core\u201c and a follow-up by the name of \u201cWhite Flag\u201c only one year later. Alex Landenburg (KAMELOT, RHAPSODY, ex ANNIHILATOR) on drums and Barry Sparks (ex UFO) on bass this time with adds a lot of depth and authenticity to the material, providing an interesting contrast soundwise. The (almost) total lack of guitars and Mangold\u2019s rather raw voice is certainly not everyone\u2019s cup of tea but nevertheless, great musicianship and versatile songwriting can be found throughout most most of the material. Highlights are the cool &#8211; sorry for the pun &#8211; \u201cSet It On Fire\u201c and the epic and futuristic \u201cFree Angel Express\/Resist\/Outta Here\u201c as well as the emotional \u201cGlass\u201c but there are also a few slightly average songs on \u201cFree Angel Express\u201c, though. But, people, where\u2019s the point on offering a bonus cut to the digital version only?
