58 /100

Treeline

Higher than 49% of albums we've rated

The album features strong melodies and energetic performances but lacks cohesion due to the inclusion of a cover track.

What we noticed

• — The first five tracks maintain a high-energy tempo with driving guitar riffs and anthemic choruses, establishing a strong opening.
• — Several tracks feature dual guitar harmonies that create a rich, layered sound, particularly in 'Crimson Thunder' and 'Hearts on Fire'.
• — The final track, 'Detroit Rock City', serves as a cover that contrasts with the original material, altering the album's flow.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
