AC/DC's songs are well known for sounding very similar, but at least you can tell which song it is. Iron Savior's tracks are totally indistinguishable from one another. I do enjoy it, great guitars, strong vocals, power metal style, but once you have heard one song all albums sound exactly the same....and there's 11 of them. They did one album twice, nobody noticed.

I second that, although I haven't heard the new album entirely, I believe it will be the same case as with the last 2. The last one I like and thought was pretty solid and had some variety is "The Landing".

Basically, yeah. Although this problem feels like it has been affecting Power Metal as a whole the last few years. Anyway, Iron Savior has some fantastic albums (Unification, Condition Red, Battering Ram) but there isn't much reason to stray too far from those three.
