Eldorado - Golden

\r\nEldorado have returned with their second full length album, “Golden”, since their pretty good debut “En Busca de Eldorado” which was released in May, 2008. Coming from Madrid, Spain and formed in 2007, Eldorado have quickly managed to make some serious progress on their music. This album was recorded both in their home language, Spanish and in English and our work was to review the English version. But, on this occasion, I don’t think that language can be a barrier when good music is played. It’s a pity, though, that this band hasn’t been promoted as they deserve to be until now. \r\n

\r\nCarrying the heritage of 70’s rock, and elements of 80’s and 90’s hard and melodic rock, Eldorado have come to the point of creating their own sound. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Bon Jovi and Lenny Kravitz seem to have seriously influenced these guys. Eldorado also prove what can happen when a band has good cooperation and works hard. Listening “Golden”, this is 100% obvious as we have 9 outstanding performances from a band that seems to get better day by day. As an outcome, I am very curious to watch one of their gigs and it’s not a fluke that producer Richard Chycki (Aerosmith, Rush, Mick Jagger) worked on the production of this album. No favorites or weakest moments, this stuff is not suitable for great albums. \r\n

\r\nSurely “Golden” can be considered as better album than “Cosmic Egg” of the multi-promoted Wolfmother and surely Eldorado seem to be the next best thing in Hard Rock since The Answer. Their second album has raised the bar high, both for them and for any band that’ll try to make something better.   \r\n
