REVIEW FROM WWW.WILDHEARTS.JP

English as follows;
Zen Motel's much-anticipated 1st album 'Transform And Escape' is finally release!
And it is a very fantastic 'Heavy Rock' album!
Especiallly, I love 'Devil Song','Sweet 13','Another World','Are U Happy Now?',
'No Compromise','Rocket 69','All 4 Nothing','Wasted Without A Clue','Black Tail'
and 'Please Be Cruel'!!
The opening track on this offering is 'Devil Song' that hugely additive, you cant help banging
your head and turning up the volume on the speaker!
'Sweet 13' with a cool guitar play and bass sound ,'Another World' with the begining of the
collaboration between a heavy bass sound and an arpeggio sound (a guitar solo also good!),
'Are U Happy Now?' with the starting with an arpeggio sound and the wonderful guitar solo,
'Wasted Without A Clue' with a loud and exciting guitar riff and the lyrics "You! Got! Me!"
that sticks out in my mind and 'Black Tail' with a fantastic distortion sound,
they are woderful heavy rock tunes that are garanteed to be addicted to "Zen Motel"!!
'No Compromise' and 'Rocket 69' are taken from 'Johnny Zhivago' album.But they are "Zen motel"
version!Of course very cool!!
'All 4 Nothing' and 'Please Be Cruel' have slow and melodious sound!
You must get 'Transform And Escape' if you are a true 'Heavy Rock' fan.
You cant mention Rock N' Roll if you listen to 'Transform And Escape'.
