I have only two complaints about this album; Heavy metal universe (I think that's what it's called), and the christmas-song like chorus on Wings of destiny. Other than that it's a great album. My favourites are "Hand of faith" and "Strangers in the night". In the latter, Hansen prooves his vocal abillities to the full with an amazing Rob Halford-like singing on the verse. I had to check the booklet for guest appearances, but no; Rob halford was not mentioned, so i drew the conclusion that it was Kai. Sounded like Priests "Painkiller" or "Metal Meltdown". Vocal-vice, not so much the music.... Also Hand of faith show some excellent singing. Other good tracks are the catchy "Gardens of the Sinner" and "Send me a Sign". And of course the opener, "Anywhere in the galaxy" which continues right where "Somewhere out in space" left off. This album is a little different from SOIS, it doesn't seem to be so uniform in its song-content, but each song is really good, except for heavy metal universe, which seem like a mindless copy of any bad Manowar song you ever heard.....Buy Powerplant if like this kind of music, but if not, there's nothing here for you to like.
