A band doesn't have to revolutionize a genre to add to it. The more great musicians and talented writers you include the better. Did you ever wonder why all power metal bands sound similar? Maybe it's because they ALL have talent! Clean crisp lyrics, driving percussion, and the occasional tear-jerking guitar solo make this a genre that is easy to fall into and impossible to escape! Heavenly have all of that, along with a heavier useage of male "power-choir" choruses, which really get your blood pumping and make you sing along!! A great choice of an album to add to your collection....I own every Gamma Ray CD in existence, not because every album is "totally unique and bears no similarity to anything else before it", but because "every album is packed full of well-orchestrated and powerful music that every Power Metal group should adhere to." Heavenly are no exception. ...if you like Gamma Ray or other such power metal groups like Stratovarius, etc.. you *will* enjoy this album. I can honestly say it's not my absolute favorite (it's sooo hard to choose one these days - but it would probably have to be Sonata Arctica: Ecliptica), but I do listen to it quite often in my car! Power metal is a lifestyle. You listen to it, live it, breathe it.
