The materials here are enough to attract my interest as the closest comparison of NITERAIN is maybe early L.A.GUNS and they added a touch of newer 80s sleaze like BUCKCHERRY. The whole 11 tracks are basically enjoyable with no glimpse of modern rock thing but the similarity between each track might be a drawback that reduces the replay value a bit. However, there are plenty of great tracks here such as 'Dirty' - the first single which sounds a bit commercial and also a powerful tune, 'Somebody Get Me A Doctor', 'Run For Your Life', 'Playing The Game', and 'Judgement Day' which was heavily influenced by RATT.
Production is also very good for an indie release and I love the musicianship, the vocal didn't struggle with accent, the guitars are amazing, looks like the band is well rehearsed and very prepared for this kind of music, and I bet they'll make a very good concert band. Some tracks maybe need improvement and variety, such as 'She Said Go', 'Run Run Run', or 'Hey Baby' maybe fell in 7 to 7.5 range, but all in all, a quite solid release and deserved the attention. Recommended!
