Análisis (en inglés) - :
After spending much of 1981 involved in a successful tour, {$Nazareth} returned to the studio with a newfound sense of vigor the next year. The album they produced was {^2XS}, an outing that stands alongside {^Malice in Wonderland} as one of their finest achievements during the 1980s. Although its sound goes for the sonic sleekness of AOR, it does not skimp on the {\hard rock} elements. For instance, {&"Love Leads to Madness"} boasts the kind of sumptuous power {\ballad} melody that helped it become a radio favorite but is also layered with plenty of surprisingly heavy power chords. {^2XS} also finds the group cranking out some of their most furious rockers since the days of {^Expect No Mercy} and {^No Mean City}: {&"Boys in the Band"} is guitar-fuelled declaration of intent that moves at a head-spinning double-time tempo, and {&"Gatecrash"} is a party rocker that swings with the raucous verve of early hits like {&"Bad Bad Boy."} Another surprising element of {^2XS} is the way it works a surprising {\new wave} element into the group's style: {&"You Love Another"} is a creepy, synthesizer-drenched breakup {\ballad} that would have fit in fine on one of {$the Cars}' early albums, and {&"Preservation"} infuses the {$Nazareth} {\rock} sound with a churning bassline and burbling electronic sounds. The end result of all these elements is an album that creates an effective and personalized fusion of {\hard rock} and AOR elements. It may not contain enough of either style for purist fans of those genres, but {$Nazareth} fans and adventurous {\rock} fans will find plenty to enjoy on {^2XS}. [The German release features eight bonus tracks: different edits of {&"Dream On,"} {&"Juicy Lucy,"} {&"You Love Another,"} and {&"Games,"} a mono version of {&"Dream On,"} extended versions of {&"Love Leads to Madness"} and {&"Back to the Trenches,"} and the single version of {&"Love Leads to Madness."}] ~ Donald A.
