BASS INSIDE CD REVIEW
Legacy - Legacy
Bassist: Marten Andersson
First off, there is good-hearted humor ahead, so if you are too brittle to
'get it', that's your problem, not mine. This kind of guy I hate! Killer
bassist, he's played in a great band like Lizzie Borden, opened for or
headlined with the likes of Deep Purple, Dio, Motorhead, Wasp, King's X,
Alice Cooper, Yngwie Malmsteen & Firehouse and sounds like he could or has
played in any and all of them. A model and an actor and the author of a
music directory. The list of acheivements just goes on, until all I can do
is cry or just laugh at the absurity of how ordinary your own life is. The
rest of the band are a bunch of over-achievers, too. The album is just
what you would expect from a group of heavy metal monsters. Hot songs,
great solos, a lot of strutting, the usual stuff, well played. For the
genre they dance in, they are as good as it can get. Grrrr.

Well executed, carefully crafted , this album combines a
good blend of melody and go for the throat attitude. Songs like “Tool” and
Autumn Rising” stand tall in the mix. Add to that, “Thank You”, the Jason
Becker/Marty Friedman inspired ballad, will make Legacy one of the most
talked about bands of the Millennium.

I'm familiar with Marten Andersson playing bass
for Lizzy Borden and this was my first
taste of him outside of Lizzy Borden. He has a band called
Legacy and they are definitely a talented bunch. Marten seems to be
the main lyricist in the band and the songs are
well written. I love the guitar riffs and
there's definitely some top notch technical playing. The vocalist has a
nice range. "Mission Of Mercy" and "My Last Sunrise"
are my favorite tracks on this CD. The album
overall is very heavy and very melodic with a couple
of really nice ballads on it. There are some very cool
instrumentals on the album with "2.4.1" being my
favorite out of that bunch. Definitely a very
cool album.

Review by: Laurent Martini
Many bands continue to make a certain genre of music well after that genre
is dead, gone and most likely hated. Most of those bands suck
anyways, but then there are those that just
shine. And thus we have Legacy.
You've got to feel sorry for Legacy because 16 years ago they would have
been huge: ruling the airwaves and MTV and snorting so much coke in
the hot tub attached to the back of their limo
that they would have felt as if nothing could
take them down. But times change, hair is less teased and
Britney Fox is no more. Legacy's self titled album is filled with
guitarist's Hansson heavy lead guitar and cool riffs, especially on
the outro to "Leave it Alone." Roseberry's deep
voice is a perfect contrast to the soaring
solos. Think Skid Row at around the time of Slave to the Grind
and that's where Legacy lies. If you liked that sound then you'll
love this band.

LEGACY/Legacy. 11 kick ass straight
ahead metal tunes sort of like Dio in vein. The
band write solid tunes with plenty of hooks and melodic vocals.
The music is not wimpy at all and if your the vocals totally rule
as does this band

LEGACY/Legacy
Review by: Sweden Rock
Melodic rock with a touch of metal thrown in. There
aren't many new bands playing this style and I grew up a fan of rock n
roll as well as underground metal so I am totally into what these guys
are all about. 11 bone crunching rock tunes. Think bands like Coney
Hatch, Night Ranger, etc. Great vocals are just plain kick ass tunes
make this a rock lovers delight. Tracks list: Troubleshooter, Underdog,
Tool, Autumn Rising, Mission Of Mercy, Leave It Alone, 2.4.1, Can't
Remember Love, My Last Sunrise, Astral Sundown, Thank You.
