I have always been a fan of this band; Russ Anderson has one of the most underrated voices in metal; His range is quite impressive, and he can pull off a variety of metal styles; This album is perfection to me; It sounds fantastic and all the players are at the top of their game here; There are 2 tracks I tolerate and am not too hot on, but the rest make up for it. A great CD to get familiar with a band that for some might have slipped under the radar. And play it LOUD! Great drums and guitars….
