It's been a long time that we didn't have a real great album from the Gamma Ray team. "Majestic" was not a bad album but it was a bit disappointing for me, not really original and just too generic to become a classic. I can tell you that it will be different this time because this "Land Of The Free II" is a great album and I'm happy to see that Kai, Henjo, Dirk and Daniel had a good reaction after the previous album. In my opinion, Gamma Ray is back in business for real and this album will become one of their classics!

Good album, but there's so much Maiden worship here.

Maiden is never a bad thing, but if I wanted to listen to Maiden I would listen to Maiden.

Songs aren't bad but definitelly not very original either; there's clear copying from their old songs going on and the Iron Maiden influences are taken too far. Does the album need to be 65mins? It's a stretch with the material represented IMO. "Insurrection", seems like a song that is made long just for longness' sake. I do think there is songs that can compete with the better Gamma Ray material, but since most of the songs remind so much of some earlier Gamma Ray songs I would rather go with the past material. Still, it's a good album. I have played it a few times since its release and I guess it will still work for rare occasional listens.
