Rick Altizer is back and, man, he`s got a lot on his mind and an over-abundance of passion, tapping into all the timeless veins of his previous work and adding new dimensions and points of reference to make `I Want Mine` is strongest piece of work. Which is saying something, to be blunt as he has a body of work that does not a duff or dull release. Pledging allegiance to the united states of Melody, Hooks and Song Craftsmanship, Alitzer exhibits some of the finest pure pop magic you`ll hear this year. Fans of the Parthenon Huxley, Bleu, The Grays work from Jon Brion and Jason Falkner will find much to enjoy here, as well as Doug Powells` work. In fact, I`d be hard pressed to say that if you dig these artists, you`ll find yourself disappointed here! As with his whole body of work, the CD contains and endless supply of music laced with lush, melodic hooks that combine honest lyrical observation and wry metaphor. "It would seem that Rick has been America`s little secret for far too long and hopefully this album will change all that. The biggest compliment I can pay is that if John Lennon were alive today then he would probably be making records just like this one." - PowerplayUK. A display of pure passion, talent and timeless skill from an artist you need to start allocating time to bring into your life and enjoy the rich rewards of a release that will stay with you for many, many years.
