During my active writing years, I've listened to many releases and written many reviews. I've interviewed and met some of my favorite metal stars and starlets. But none came as close to the amount of influence the following artist had on me... as a young teenager, I recall keenly listening to the fast-tempo, virtuous and energetic guitarwork he delivered at the time with Sonata Arctica. I remember being blown away by the artistry and creativity he'd put out in "My Selene" (out of Reckoning Night). It came at a time when I was starting to slowly fall in love with metal music and electric guitars, and Jani Liimatainen was the man who made me grab my very first guitar and concentrate on writing music.

This is Jani Liimatinen's most mature, honest and direct album to date - while keeping true to his songwriting style. What a great songwriter and musician he really is.

I struggled to get through the 1st song. Didn't improve much after that...

Posts: 550 Written by Kais on 06.05.2022 at 12:40 I find it hard to express how much I disagree with you. I might go on a little rant but it's nothing to do with you 😊, I promise. 😁 This must be one of the most cliché and uninspired hair metal records I've listened to in years. Each one of the 10 songs has the exact same structure and are so interchangeable even though they are sung by different people. I really can't imagine that heavy metal can be so boring and unimaginative. Then again, maybe that's the reason why metal popularity died with the birth of this style of metal...

Great album, as most of the albums Jani features, let him know he should come up with another band with Antti Railio, and then maybe also one with Tony Kakko, for old times sake. and it would be high time for another offering from Cain  keep it going Jani !!!

This album is somehow nearly two years old. Looking at the tracklist, I love listening to every song here, in isolation or in the album. Absolutely fantastic songwriting, this album has the potential to perhaps become an all time favourite, at a much slower rate than fellow 2022 album Woe.
