This is a very special album, one of these kind of albums where you get 12 songs, and only a few of them are interesting. Such is the case, but of the 12 songs on this new CD 3 of them are out of comparison with the rest of the songs. Just A Momentary Why is a good and guitar / drum oriented song, has a nice personality about it, and it has an extra quality that Robin Beck is guest performing as singer.
Eyes Wide Open is another special song with a completely different singing style where it is built like soft footsteps, that is really something you could listen to many times without getting tired of it.
The most spectacular song is called Blood In My Veins. A very, very beautiful ballad where you are taken back in time thinking of Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven, but even though it is not the same song, Blood In My Veins gives new life to one of the most famous songs ever written.
Tommy Denander has written all songs on Spin Gallery's second studio album Embrace. He teams up with singer Kristoffer Lagerström to get a good balance of the new album, their second, since debut album Standing Tall came out in 2004. Guest musicians are singer Robin Beck, drummer Glen Marks, Marika Willstedt on cello and Dan Reed is featured on the song You Do The Things You Do. An album which is quite ordinary, but is saved by 3 splendid songs.
