Fans of recent H.E.A.T., ART NATION or REACH will be pleased, people digging classic melodic rock, which SANTA CRUZ played earlier on, too, on the other hand, should really take a careful spin before buying. The video for the positive sounding \u201cTestify\u201c provides a perfect first impression &#8211; but be aware that this tune is one of the few that sound like what the band did in the past although the production might hint at the new direction w\u00b4they choose to take.
