Well it might seem like 'Westworld' were pushing it a bit releasing a live album after only two outings in the studio, but rest assured this is no disappointment. The set list is very strong and features excellent material from 'Skin' and their self titled debut along with fine covers of 'Riot' and 'TNT' songs. 'Westworld's' performance is pretty stellar and the production, while honest is fairly crisp, the addition of violinist 'Mark Wood' only adds to the depth and overall it all comes together for a cracking live release.

'I Belong' opens the show in style with sharp vocals, strong harmonies and a cracking melody which sets the stage nicely for many other underrated melodic gems. The title track to 'Skin' follows and while it's very similar to the album version, it just goes to shows their talents as they recreate the same level of skill live on stage. I wasn't overly impressed with the studio rendition of 'Uneasy', but I enjoy this cut, the rhythm and fret work are slightly heavier in the mix and overall benefits from a more lively approach. My favourite track from 'Skin' 'Black Shadow Symphony' fails to disappoint, 'Mark Wood' joins the band for this track and creates a great depth especially for a live recording, as with the album version this is a winding, complex journey, that is executed to perfection and makes for another top track. The pace is dropped for the mystical sounding 'Uninvited', yes I know it's an ''Alanis Morissette' cover but it's still a quality track again enhance all the more for with the exquisite violin work. The tempo is resurrected for 'Get a Life' one of 'Westworld's' heavier tracks and it works excellently live, with strong vocals especially for the cracking chorus. The momentum continues with the harmonious 'Ivory Towers' another well written track which comes off superbly live while 'Tony Harnell' sounds on top for the melodic balladsy 'Shame'. The pace is restored with the carefree rocker 'Elastic' and again fails to disappoint. 'Bring the Water to Me' follows and continues the fine run, this melodious jewel is perfectly sung with great backing vocals and real commitment shown all round. The track breaks in the middle for the band introduction and rarely is it done as well as this, throughout 'Tony Harnell's' speech is a superb flowing melody which picks up seamlessly for the end of the track. Next up is 'Illusions' and while I don't believe it's one of 'Westworld's' stronger tracks, it's still a decent number, but I don't think the harmonies come off as well as with other numbers. The second cover is that of 'TNT's' '10,000 Lovers in One', again it comes of pretty well, but it isn't really a song that enthrals me, I'm sure however 'TNT' fans will enjoy it though. As you've probably guessed I'm a big 'Riot' fan and for me 'Swords & Tequila' steals the show. 'Tony Harnell' sounds superb on the vocals while 'Mark Reale' plays with passion and skill, as with all the tracks the rhythm section turns in a strong performance- the original is pure quality and this cover is just magnificent. A bonus track takes the shape of 'Ice Queen' and doesn't sound live at all and hardly warrants inclusion, although it's still a good track.

A quality live album from a band that should be receiving a lot more recognition- a delight for all 'Westworld' fans!
