As it turns out, some things had gone wrong with shipping of some of the promos for Tragik's Tainted. But even when it's late, we don't mind when the reviewer scores the album with a 8.3 out of 10! Read Gabor's thoughts here.  The Chinawhite album Different, with Phil on vocals, also scores a 8.3. Thank you Gabor!

We have a couple more reviews for you to enjoy. Just in case ;)

First are the kind words of Dmitry Epstein on his DMME website. Find the full review here.

And next our friends over at Your Music Blog. Read that here.

French metal site Metal Integral have published a review on Tainted. You can read the original here, but for those not fluent in French, here an English tranlation:

Melodic rock destabilizing at first listen

Tragic, the feeling that crossed my mind listening to the second title Not Over You (Listen) of more than nine minutes. But what do these electronic drum loops come to do in a melodic rock album? Destabilizing at first listen because I find myself immersed in a pop atmosphere, limit dance or disco, fortunately that very good soli come to remind me that TRAGIK plays hard rock!Confusing, really, even if the main melody ends up seducing. This is all the more surprising as the opening song Welcome Backwas imbued with a seventies sound to theWHITESNAKE ... 

TRAGIK likes to vary the pleasures, even taking big risks. In addition, this American trio plays the visual map by displayingplaymates everywhere even inside the digipack . OK for a sexy wallet but here I find the approach too much ! No worries to enter the top 10 
most hot pockets ... 

In the positive, Phil VINCENT sings rather well, I think Michael SWEET of STRYPER including Can not Take It Back . With USinfluences like DOKKEN orWINGER , TRAGIK manages to find unstoppable melodies in the image of Into The Great Unknown with a chorus AOR chorus and simplistic keyboards but placed precisely. Face Of Sorrow shows a tougher face and is part ofTainted's success . The content of this disc is however random in quality, the good ( Nobody's There or the energetic Taintedand his superb guitar parts) alternating with the passable ( 'Til I See You Again , Regrets , Heaven). For a seventh record and therefore some experience of musicians (guitar parts are often sublime as the solo of Out Of Nowhere ), I note a lack of homogeneity and consistency of all of these 60 minutes that become a little long ...
