Review - Avalon (Avalon)
While Avalon's self-titled debut doesn't stray far from
the standard expectations of a pop vocal group, the album
still manages to stand out as unique. Avalon's vocal strength,
the conception of producer Charlie Peacock, is the main
attraction and likability of the group.
Avalon didn't write very many of the songs on the album,
in fact most of the material was co-written by Peacock.
The overall musical (thanks to Peacock) and vocal (thanks
to Avalon) quality of the album is better than anything
you'll get from Point of Grace, Considering Lily or Clear.
The two songs on the CD that really stand out as being
unique are the opener 'Give It Up' and the second-to-last
track 'Saviour Love'.
If you're looking for some catchy tunes, Avalon provides,
for most of the album. However, this debut easily falls
into the mass of pop vocal groups out there as Avalon
develops their style. An even better bet is their second
CD, 'A Maze of Grace'.
