ROB MORATTI picture
Canadian singer Rob Moratti has had a varied career; he first appeared as a songwriter and lead vocalist in the early 90's for the band "Moratti", the result being the recording of two fine albums (Desolation in 1995 & Legends of Tomorrow in 1997). He then shot to centre stage as singer with Final Frontier, a band which also featured Mladen (Von Groove) and over a period of time the band recorded 4 albums and gained a cult following both in Europe and Japan. They played exciting hard rock AOR which was set apart by Rob's powerful vocal performances.

In 2008 Rob has found more fame as frontman for AOR / Prog rock legends Saga who dicovered him to replace Michael Sadler in recent years. Rob sang, wrote and produced the vocals on the 2009 "The Human Condition" album and toured extensively with the band. He has since left Saga and this has given Rob time to concentrate on his solo CD "Victory". Victory

The idea of having Rob Moratti and Reb Beach in one ship had excite me when the news of 'Victory' emerged a while ago and when I first heard this album, I think it's on par with my expectation, nothing more nothing less. This is one of those albums that after you listened to for a while, it really didn't get worse nor better, so it's basically the same as you've heard it first.

The typical Journey and Survivor influences as were seen in Moratti's Final Frontier project are also seen here, but Beach's sensational guitar touch added value to the whole album. 'Life On The Line' is a nice opener, one of my fave track, a brilliant chorus embedded to a pompous midtempo AOR. 'Everything But Goodbye' is also another great track but two perfect tracks in my opinion are the flawless ballad, 'Lifetime', and the midtempo tune on the second half, 'I Promise You'.

There are obvious weaker tracks here such as 'On And On', 'Take It All Back', or 'Jennie'. The latter is because it's too Survivor-copycat. But other winners like 'Power of Love', 'Standing On Top of The World', and 'Now More Than Ever' deserved credits for lifting this album's overall score. The production is great and if anyone's annoyed with Moratti's ultra-high supersonic vocal as in Final Frontier, I can see him singing here in slightly lower range, which is better.

'Victory' is already praised highly by many AOR fans and I agree that the quality of this album is worth around 80% so I'm on the side of the fence with those guys. Recommended for fans of Moratti, Final Frontier, and AOR/MHR in general.

I was kind of sad when I learned that Rob Moratti had left Saga after only one album, because I really liked his contribution on "The Human Condition". However, all hope was not lost, as Moratti went on to release a solid solo effort in the form of "Victory".

While "The Human Condition" was a progressive affair, "Victory" is a more straightforward melodic AOR effort which emphasizes memorable and catchy vocal lines and is full of references to 80s hard rock, fortunately taking only the good stuff and leaving the cheese behind.

All the tracks on the album are strong, regardless of whether they are more rock, hard rock or pop inclined. This partly owes to incredible musicianship and pristine production across the board, and partly to Rob Moratti's distinct voice and and range as a vocalist. Guitar fans can look forward to incredible blazing guitar solos, and the emphasis on melody makes the album broadly available and potentially a record that your entire family can rock out to together.

"Victory" is recommended to fans of 80s AOR, hard rock and even melodic metal.
