ALTHOUGH THIS ALBUM HAS SOME GOOD SONGS, I WAS VERY SURPRISED AT THE LACK OF POWER IN THE SONGS. UNLIKE JUGULATOR WHICH CAUGHT ME COMPLETELY SURPISED WITH ITS COMBINATION OF DEATH METAL AND OLD STYLE PRIEST, THIS ALBUM HAS SOME MAJOR DEFECTS. SONGS SUCH AS CLOSE TO YOU, JEKYLL AND HYDE, AND ONE ON ONE ALMOST SOUND LIKE TECHNO POP, AND THE GUITAR SOLOS(OR LACK THEREOF)ARE TERRIBLE. ON THE OTHER HAND SONGS LIKE HELL IS HOME AND METAL MESSIAH ARE THE REASON I KEPT THE CD INSTEAD OF TOSSING IT. THE STUDIO ALBUM IS A LITTLE BETTER WITH TWO OUTSTANDING BONUS TRACKS RAPID FIRE AND A REMAKE OF THE GREEN MANILISHI WITH THE TWO PRONGED CROWN WHICH IN MY OPINION IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. IS IT WORTH BUYING? THAT DEPENDS ON THE BUYER, LIKE I SAID ITS OK, BUT NOT THEIR BEST.
