DOROTHY – THE WAY – ALBUM REVIEW
It’s a decade since DOROTHY made their mark and were pegged as future superstars of hard rock. Blending the best of modern metal with classic rock swagger and stunning vocals, the group have gone on to establish themselves within their niche but it’s probably fair to say that they haven’t reached the heights predicted for them.
That’s not really a dig at their career, after all 99.9% of bands deemed the next big thing fall completely away and never achieve the success that DOROTHY have. Perhaps though there is a frustration that still the band can go on to do more!
‘THE WAY’ marks their fourth studio album and fans will be greeted with more of the same from the band. Hook-laden rockers with that soaring voice of Dorothy Martin simply captivating. This familiar territory of generic American Rock Radio hit factory songs though may be the problem – it’s all very predictable.

‘I COME ALIVE’, ‘THE DEVIL I KNOW’ and ‘MUD’ are a fine start to the record before Slash collaboration, ‘TOMBSTONE TOWN’, is intrigue-wise perhaps the pinnacle. The rest of the album is all very good also but doesn’t offer much we haven’t heard before.
You feels like saying that this could be mistaken for the next Halestorm album, but let’s not get too negative here. The positives of this record are that there are no bad tracks, it’s another short shock of adrenaline-inducing rock ragers and all in all it’s better than most of its competitors.
DOROTHY is largely a vehicle for the eponymous singer and luckily for the band she is ferociously talented! It seems that even with their eyes closed, DOROTHY can write a properly decent collection of hits. You do just wonder what could be created if they switched off cruise control and put their foot down.
