Dark Moor - Project X

Bonus tracks are re-recordings? Would never be better than Elisa versions

That's right, but it sounds interesting how it will sound with the current line-up (specially with Alfred's vocals).

Well, this band is now away from the Power Metal scene, and now it points to more Hard Rock-ish or AOR-ish terrains.

Not bad album indeed, but those guys have changed the style too much.

Maybe this change will disappoint so many people.

Ought to play well in Spain with its bottomless appetite for all things Bon Jovi, but speaking as a symphomaniac, Ars Musica suddenly sounds a whole lot better versus this pop guff.

So uhhh... I actually kinda like some of the songs on this album. Does that make me a bad person? Beyond The Stars is a great song.

After a few spins I have to admit this album is GREAT! of course, let's forget the old stuff, this work is different. not bad at all. a bit of Queen, a bit of catchy 80's pop...but this elixir works! exploring new ways is still better than dancing around the same bush. just give it a chance and maybe it will grow on you too...

This better be a Project eXperiment and now that they've scratched that itch, come back to the symphonic elements that made this band one of the most enjoyable ones in the metal scene.

oh dear God.... you are not selling this to me. It's in my Amazon wish-list but not released in the UK until 4th December.

I was kind of hoping for Tarot 2 but now have the sudden urge to cry on Susan's shoulder...

The only positive aspect of those re-recordings is that they are now in Spotify as Project X was included while the original albums cant be found on the app

Does the cover remind anyone else of the new Stratovarius' cover?
Did Alfred Romero always have that lisp? I've never noticed it on other albums.

...ish. Reminds me more of Vision Divine's Destination Set To Nowhere album.

As for the music on this... it's okay. But I feel the old albums they made with Alisa on vocals are sooo much better, not only vocally but also musically.

Horrendous cheesy 80's pop/rock. I would listen to any album of Queen instead of this... It sounds like a Disney movie soundtrack.

I tried. I really tried.

Im a defender of most of the material of the "new era" of Dark Moor, but this... THIS.

THANK YOU! I thought I was going crazy!

What the hell happened with this band. Decent rock popish song I guess...
(Edit) After hearing the "remakes" I'm dead inside, what a fucking blasphemy
