Not your father's Santana!
9 Feb 2007
Format:Audio CD
Talk about a band that should be tearing it up in the US of A but is only known to a few die-hards. Six years after their last album, criminally underrated Latin hard rock masters TRIBE OF GYPSIES are finally showing new signs of life with 'Dweller on the Threshold.' Overall this quite a bit heavier than the rather pop-oriented 'ToG III' but the percussive Latin vibe that's set these guys apart form the pack ever since their brilliant '96 debut is still present throughout the album, which seems to get better and better as you delve deeper into it. 'Ride On' is a driving rocker that recalls Purple's 'Highway Star' of all things, the timely 'Stop Bombing Each Other!' gets funky Kravitz-style, 'Halos' oozes pop, rock and gospel in perfect harmony, 'Go Your Way''s energetic pop and bounce is accented even further by a very rhythmic lead vocal, 'After The Summer' is a beautiful acoustic chill out tune, while the all-instrumental 'Flying Tigers, Crying Dragons' combines the flair of early Santana and the fire of Gary Moore (Roy Z is on a tear here!). There is also a great cover of Van Halen's 'Ain't Talkin' Bout Love'that gets the full-on Tribe treatment and rivals the original; the epic 'La Hora' (sung in Spanish) turns into an incredible freeform jam about half way thru and gives guitarist Roy Z a platform to show off his extraordinairy talents, and the equally stunning 'Hands to Eternity' is equal parts heavy rock, flamenco, and mythical Led Zep with new vocalist Chas West (formerly with the Jason Bonham Band) doing his best Plant impersonation in the chorus. Bottom line: There is very little wrong with this album and there are at least 10 gems that make this album a must-buy for any fan of quality hard rock that crosses the spectrum from classic to modern rock. All that's missing is a domestic release for this disc to finally get this band more widely known in their own backyard.
Not as much fun as III

This album seemed to be a lot more predictable than the only other TOG CD I have (which is III). It is still good, it is still Roy Z and friends making great music, it just isn't as exciting as III was to me.
Their best album to date
24 May 2007
Format:Audio CD
There are not many words that can do this album or band justice. Brilliant is about as close as you'll get. This album is truly amazing in every way. There is not one bad song on this album. Roy Z is in fine form as are the rest of the Tribe. New vocalist Chas West is excellent & sounds very much like Chris Cornell (which is a good thing!) Best tracks are Flying Tigers, Crying Dragons, La Hora & Hands to Eternity. Roy will blow you away on all these tracks. These guys deserve much more global recognition. But to those of us who are lucky enough to know about Roy Z & his amazing band I guess are the luckiest people on earth.
