After the successful release of 2005's "Aeronautics", cracks already started to show within the ranks of the super group. Singer Jørn Lande decided to leave the band last year because of "musical differences" and as if that wasn't bad enough for the band, drummer Uli Kusch also decided to take his leave, commenting "we haven't inspired each other anymore".

This is better than a 7.4 for sure. An 8 would be fair. Mike Dimeo is not bad at all, on the contrary he is good. Actually the first song i really liked for Masterplan was from this album "Warrior's Cry"...

I prefer this to Aeronautics. Opening Warrior's Cry feels very generic but after that I like all the songs. Hard to rate.. it's right inbetween a 7 and 8, luckily I feel generous today

I haven't listened to this one in years. I will give it another chance as soon as time allows it.

Surprised how good this turned out to be. Catchy, bombastic and inspired with great performance from DiMeo. First half is all killer no filler and the closing Heart Of Darkness is masterpiece of a song as well.

Unfortunately Roland failed to pull the same trick after Jorn's second departure.
