www.metalliville.co.ukDestination DestinyMetallville thinks that "Blind Alley are... ...proof again of Scandinavia’s continuous capability to produce the great bands this scene needs".
www.powermetal.dkDestination DestinyPowermetal thinks that "Overall, the album has a pretty good A.O.R. feel to it..." although they don't like us going Phrygian. Can't win them all... ;-)
www.glitzine.netDestination Destinyhttp://www.glitzine.net/recensioner/blindalley.htmOn Glitzine Phil establish that he's "not a huge fan of AOR." (Go figure ;-) But looking on the Live videos he thinks that "they are all superb and it's clear that the band are having fun, which in a live situation is often enough to win me over and forget my minor niggles" ;-)
www.getreadytorock.comDestination DestinyBill on GetReadyToRock.com thinks that "The clean punchy guitar sound of opener Voices sets things off nicely and even has a faint hint of a Celtic twang about the solo." An extra star to Bill for commenting a guitar solo ;-)
www.roxxzone.comDestination DestinyAt Roxxzone they have noticed that "...Il resto dei brani faranno breccia nel cuore degli estimatori della scuola melodic rock scandinava, che senz’altro apprezzeranno". We don't know what it means, but Italian can never be bad - can it? ;-)
www.grande-rock.comDestination DestinyThe guys over at Grande Rock (www.grande-rock.com) writes "If you are searching for nice well written – from the heart – melodic rock tunes then this album will fit you like glove. Play any song you like, any time you want and you will surely find yourself afterwards singing the refrain of that song"
blastmagazine.netDestination DestinyHere are some words from the guys at BlastMagazine. A total analyze of all the songs, they probably know more about the songs than Magnus. Amazing!

AOR Dream ZonesDestination Destiny"What a massive melodic rock release. A true surprise and the catchiest you can buy for money so far this year… When you thought you heard it all, Blind Alley appears from the shadows and give you a big melodic explosion. Twelve songs and twelve unforgettable moments."
[by Johnny Forslund, April 2006]
Strutter MagazineDestination Destiny"Blind Alley...is back with another strong new record, which musically combines elements of Progressive Rock with high class 80s Scandi AOR/Melodic Rock into a very sensational style, which is a must to hear for people who like a mix between TOTO, EUROPE, DAKOTA and RAINBOW." Points: 8.5 out of 10

Melodic.netDestination Destiny"Hold your horses because the Swedish AOR band Blind Alley are back with a fantastic new album... This is AOR by numbers with really strong songs that will please fans of the mentioned acts. So keep your eyes and ears open for Destination Destiny because this is damn fine AOR album."
