In 2018 we coated the debut of Swedish Vocalist Kent Hilli and his band Good Plan titled “All Rise“. Exhausting these days to differentiate your self from the quantity of music that will get delivered weekly, with that launch, they paved new roads with their joyful infused more durable Melodic Rock debut; making it one of many high albums of that yr. In 2020 they bounced again with their sophomore launch in a bit muddied sadly by the pandemic and its difficulties, that launch was simply each bit nearly as good as their debut, however in all probability bought ignored because of the nature of issues occurring on this planet.
They’re again once more with now their third full-length quantity “Brace For Affect”. Will this one proceed its climb within the Melodic Rock world?
Nothing essentially has modified within the melodic class. Good Plan continues to ship a really absorbable, profoundly melodic product. Comparable in trend to their final 2 albums, the sound seems to be extra polished general and a tad heavier. That was the band’s intention, heavier stuff, and fewer ballads, because it solely options one on “Brace For Affect”. I agree this launch is extra in your face.

The second quantity “If Love Walks In” sounds as if Jeff Scott Soto was singing the refrain on this one, a testomony to the stable vocal work of Hilli. A pleasant mid-level rocker with loads of melodic chew to it. The punchy kick in “Can’t Let You Win” stands out on the primary few listens, it once more options the belting vocals of Hilli, alongside an infectious refrain with loads of deadly hooks. A slew of up-tempo numbers retains the truck rolling when “Carry Me A Physician” kicks in, extra up-tempo antics steam the momentum ahead. One of many quickest numbers on the album.
I’ll say this in protection of the Melodic Rock style, as it will probably usually get too stagnant, and bands have a tendency to stick with that very same components you come to anticipate. Not right here with Good Circle as I really feel they’ve pushed their sound to an edgier groove. Nearly Hazard Hazard/FM in locations, however nonetheless Melodic at its core. Kent Hilli is a terrific vocalist and he helps carry the songs over the norm. The musicianship basically may be very sturdy, keyboard solos sprinkled in all through among the tunes, and the manufacturing is crisp. For a style that may get numerous flack usually, it’s important to hold issues shifting to face out and Good Plan does simply that with a convincing presence!!!
