Almost as if the band as a whole sustained some form of brain damage from some tragic and unforeseeable accident, Gamma Ray have not been themselves since 2001's great No World Order. The last two albums saw the band as mere shadows of themselves blatantly and obviously ripping off other bands, none more than Judas Priest. Read more ›› |

Average album compared to Gamma Ray standards. The music is good, guitar solos are great, Henjo is a great guitarist and so is Kai. The main problem is that Kai souds tired out and it lacks catchy vocal lines and hooks, Chasing Shadows is my favorite...

Not very fond of most of the songs. "Shine Forever" and "Chasing Shadows" are the only songs that I'd want to hear again. IMO the band sounds too typical euro power on this album, somewhat missing their old character.

Definitely one of their weakest outputs. But there are some good ones like Empathy. A bit Bruce Dickinson vibes but far from BDs qualities.
