Rocktopia: Stryper - 'The Covering' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Phil Ashcroft: Whatever your opinion of the covers album craze there's no denying that it's thrown up some interesting releases, my own personal bugbear being that the time spent making them could be better spent writing and recording some original material. It's well known from interviews that the members of Stryper are big rock fans (now back to the original line-up of Michael Sweet (vocals, guitar), Oz Fox (guitar), Robert Sweet (drums) and returning bassist Tim Gaines), particularly British bands of the 70s, so what they've sensibly done here is not pick anything too obscure and infuse everything with those unmistakable Stryper guitar and vocal harmonies. http://ping.fm/Pf7Jw
