Trooper - Its Been A Long Time
Review by Matt Damaskos
Trooper's album "It's Been A Long Time" is a nostalgic journey through the band's discography, featuring their greatest hits and some lesser-known gems. The album kicks off with the upbeat and catchy "Raise a Little Hell," setting the tone for the rest of the record. The band's signature sound of guitar-heavy rock and roll with catchy hooks and sing-along choruses is present throughout the album.
The album includes classics like "We're Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time)," "The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car," and "Santa Maria," as well as some deeper cuts like "Round, Round We Go" and "Two for the Show." Trooper showcases their versatility with the ballad "Janine," which features beautiful harmonies and a heartfelt chorus.
