Doesn't totally suck, but it's really hard to like this album. The album does sound like Running Wild; the riffage is still there and Rolf's vocals are still recognizable. I don't think that the songwriting is a major issues here, yeah, it's average, but a bigger issue is the weak instrumental and vocal performances. The production doesn't do any good for the album either, especially the vocals sound pretty bad. When it comes to the songs, it's useless to search for any Running Wild classics from this album. There are some enjoyable parts throughout the album, but none of the songs really manages to be great from the beginning to the end (the title track and "Libertalia" being the favorites, if that matters here). After finishing listening to this album again I'm feeling like I don't want to listen to it ever again. But if history repeats itself, I will be listening to it again in a few years and find myself asking: why the fuck did I just do that?

Yeah, and I'd add that the production is awful. The guitars sound so fake.

Its awful, just old fart band in that time whit one decent song ''Dead Man's Road''

This one is unlistenable...

Wow... I mean i'll always thought it was an alright album but I like it way more today than back at it's release. The production choice, especially the guitars, is intresting but it doesn't bother me, I kind of fancy the soft guitar tone. Overall I probably think it's a better album than The Brotherhood and Victory
