RTZ - Return To Zero (1991) [2016 Rock Candy Remastered]

Anyone travelling up and down AOR boulevard during these unseemly times would’ve been highly intrigued by a new project involving two fifths of Boston, notably the ‘voice’ Bradley Delp and guitarist Barry Goudreau.
Issued in 1991, RTZ “Return To Zero” took the Boston blue print one step further, writing songs very much influenced by the sound of their previous outfits, but also injected with the spit and polish of the late ’80s.

Recorded in Los Angeles by the great Chris Lord Alge, the album boasts some of the most arresting melodic hard rock that has ever been crafted. Every song is a true winner, with Brad Delp excelling beyond our wildest dreams.
Overlooked at the time, primarily due to the arrival of the grunge movement, this album is actually amonumental sonic achievement.
None, I repeat, none Melodic Rock / AOR collection is complete without this gem.
Terrific remaster by Rock Candy.
