This is GOOD, I give you my word! Great hard rock with well-executed mudsicianship, great songwriting and amazing vocals. Mike DiMeo did a wonderful job on this release, no wonder that he was called to replace Jorn in Masterplan later. Some tracks here are fast-paced (Army O? One, The Mystic), some some have a distant epic feel (Still Alive, Alive In The City) and the rest are just decent hard-rockers with catchy choruses and great vocal melodies. Just check out "Knocking at my Door" or "Blinded !"
