Steel Age? That's an interesting expression, I haven't heard it before. The album could be both better and worse. I'm not totally getting the songwriting direction, what the band is trying to do on this album? Musically this is pretty great, and the vocals are good and kind of epic, the production has the bass guitar mixed audible which is a good move. As the songs matter most, I can't rate this really high. Just a record and a shortcoming by a Steel band.
