To be candid, if you are going to call your album Octane then you better know how to rock adequately. The public will not accept an artist presumptively referring to themselves as Octane when they know you’re from the Manilow school of rock. First track: “VIP”, so far so good. MacLellan proves he’s in the right place with some help from Paul MacAusland (Haywire) on vocals. I was worried there for a minute with the opening sounds of birds chirping and other forest background noise on “Delirium Jungle”, but MacLellan quickly sweeps that aside and gets down to business. Now, since MacLellan is simply a guitarist and not a guitar/vocalist, I feel like I’m grading on a curve here, but I honestly have to say that I liked the tracks with MacAusland’s accompaniment best. That’s no slight against MacLellan because he has the skills and knows how to use them, I'm just saying that I’m in favour of hearing more from a MacLellan/MacAusland duo. Just putting it out there.
