The review also argues that the abundance of keyboards is due to the guitarist not being up to the standards of Bratta. While the reviewer praised Tramp's vocals on some of the songs as being "strong" and "clear," they also pointed out that songs like "Take Me Home" were like a "third-rate" version of "When the Children Cry."
Volume 1 was released on 14 April 2023 and Volume 2 was released on August 23, 2024. As the title implies, the new albums sees Tramp re-imagining select cuts from White Lion's catalog, including the bands biggest hits: "When the Children Cry", "Wait", and "Little Fighter". [1]
