I have to admit I'm a bit confused by this one. Andre Anderrsen pretty much has creative control over Royal Hunt, so the logical reason for him to record a solo album would be to explore new areas and try new ideas, right? Well, Changing Skin is basically a Royal Hunt album with keyboard solos instead of guitar solos, which is good news if you're a Royal Hunt fan. If you were looking for something new and different from Anderssen, then you may be a bit disappointed by this album. Changing Skin sounds remarkably similar to the Royal Hunt albums that followed it, particularly Fear and the Mission. It's a solid, progressive, melodic rocker, with (surprise) lots of keyboards. I found it to be an enjoyable album, and am giving it a decent rating because it is a lot like the RH albums that I love, but wish it could have been a bit more unique. The cover of Whitesnake's Crying in the Rain was an interesting surprise, though it didn't turn out too well. If you like Royal Hunt, by all means pick this disc up, it is definitely right up your alley.Read full review
