'Rating: thumbs up!! In general, I think that it is very sad that currently so many bands are active in the underground only, releasing albums on a self-financed basis. DAVID ALLEN, with FOREVER AND A DAY, offers a great release which by far is better than 2/3 of these days regular releases - in terms of musician-ship, song-writing, sound and packaging. Musically, ALLEN offers American typed rock music in the typical singer & song-writer tradition which has a similar commercial appeal such as releases by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, DON HENLEY and other artists from their genre. More info can be found on the highly recommended website at: www.davidallen.tv. Finally - a very strong album which deserves your interest! Birgitt Schwanke Rock-It! Magazine www.rock-it-magazine.de
'~ Rock-It! Magazine 'Having last appeared in issue twenty seven of Powerplay, David Allen has just released his second CD FOREVER AND A DAY. The debut was a great example of westcoast style AOR that drew comparisons to Richard Marx. I will state right here that this new CD simply blows away the debut with it's depth of musicianship and superior songs, the debut was good, but this one leaves it in the shade. This time a lot of Toto influences have crept into the mix, just check out FOLLOW ME to see what I mean. Those Richard Marx influences are still prevelent throughout and like the debut this is in the main down to the song structures. David has obviously taken his time on this album and it shows as the songs are head and shoulders above anything he has done before. David has done himself proud and in the song LOVE CAN he has written a true AOR anthem that the likes of Joseph Williams would kill for. Check him out at www.davidallen.tv
'~ Powerplay Magazine 'David Allen's new CD FOREVER AND A DAY is a collection of soulful heartfelt songs, delivered with passion and conviction. If after listening to DREAMS, you're not humming that song the rest of the day, then something's wrong. This CD is 45:14 of pure pleasure.
