Press

“It’s impossible to dislike this record. And very easy to rate it one of the best of an increasingly impressive bunch in 2009. rushonrock rated: 8/10”

— Johnny Ripe, Rush On Rock

“Johnny is one guy that just gets it. He knows what he is good at. He knows what fans want. And he knows how to update his sound a little without abandoning his core beliefs. Livin' Out Loud is one of the smoothest pure melodic rock records you'll hear. It just purrs along and is done before you know it. High energy guitar driven pop/melodic rock here, the kind of tunes that Bon Jovi and Def Leppard might be pumping out if they never grew up. Moody in places, happy go lucky elsewhere. This is still a great album after all these months and if you had any doubts, re-think them right now. Essential for melodic rock fans.”

— Andrew McNeice, MelodicRock.com

“Just like the other CD’s I have reviewed ‘Livin’ Out Loud’ is equally if not better than the rest! This CD is a must have for not only eighties metal style fans however all rock fans in general!”

— Darrell Finley, Blast Magazine

“This is an album that is a sure-fire smash! Forget everything you ever knew about Johnny Lima as this record has set the benchmark for all of his future releases.”

— Rob Evans, Powerplay Magazine

“Johnny’s ready to conquer the world and Livin’ Out Loud is his most powerful weapon.”

— Pilar Sanchez, Fireworks Magazine

“Another gem of an album!”

— Jason Ritchie, Getreadytorock.com

“Each song is a killer. “Livin´ Out Loud” is definitely one of my favourites for 2009. Congratulations for this Masterpiece. 9/10”

— Stefan Thur, Rockingboy.de

“Welcome back Johnny and I must say that his new cd is the best he has done so far. He sounds hungry and the album is filled with tons of hooks and melodies. ”

— Juha Harjula, Melodic.net

“I haven't heard melodic metal done like this in years. Johnny is very, very talented, not only in songwriting, but musicianship.”

— Blast Magazine

“Excellent melodic hard rock the American way, invest with no fear.”

— Stelios Basbayiannis, Metal Invader

“Ever wondered what The Beatles would sound like with balls?”

— Kieran Dargan, Fireworks Magazine

“Johnny's becoming one of the most reliable artists of the genre.”

— Kimmo Toivonen, RockUnited.com

“A great vocal talent - check him out!”
