UDO is back!!!! A full of technical guitar plays, a lot of impressive melody lines, and passionate Udo's singing... which makes me remember the days when I was exited to listen to "Timebomb".

I always had a lot of sympathy for Udo Dirkschneider, however this album is made without any inspiration,
just one boring song after the other one.

Unfortunately it has been as such for quite a long time. Dominator and Steelhammer had some decent moments, but they pale in comparison with Animal House, Holy or Faceless World. I think UDO has forgotten the fact that he is not the only remaining guy in the band.

What a heaping helping of lol up above.

Just tried few powerful songs, few weak songs, some so so songs, could be 40min, it would be much better album.

More sinister and tighter song writing compared to Steelhammer. I like this one a lot more. It's a by the book U.D.O. record and it works all the way. Something that strikes me is that it often reminds me of Sabaton, but in a way where I feel that this is the way Sabaton should sound with the focus on guitar riffs instead of over using the synth to try making it "epic".

I haven't heard the bonus tracks so don't know how good they are. This is the third or fourth UDO record with a lot of bonus tracks appearing on different releases, which annoys me. Keep it simple old man.
