I cannot express in words how disappointed I was with this. First of all, I'm not some Limp Bizkit fan who accidently stumbled upon a scary power metal album. I love this stuff, but man, this band is pretty terrible!They're not really bad musicians, but the music is just really uninteresting, and goes nowhere the whole album. The symphonic arrangements are unbelievably cheesy, and sometimes this even sounds like hair metal or something. Not to mention, the vocals are beyond bad. This guy has the highest, most annoying voice I've ever heard. Even higher than John Arch, and at least he's a fairly decent singer. This sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks with helium balloons! Maybe I'm being too hard on this band, but I just cannot get into them at all. For good power metal, go with Kamelot, Blind Guardian, or Sonata Arctica. Heck, even Stratovarius is better than this. Not as bad as most of the commercial garbage out there, but "saviors of metal"? I don't think so.
