Bruce is on the loose! Bruce Dickinson that is, the writer, master swordsman and poet takes the mic for the first time after Paul Di'Anno left the band. Thank God for that! Bruce is a much better singer and has a better stage pressence and really gets the crowd going.

Advantages: Lots of great titles Disadvantages: No general mood
...nice tune, here it is completely misplaced. It is followed by another couple of great hits, "Spaced Invader" by Hatirs and "Hush Hush" by Shimon. These masterpieces are bringing the vibe up again with their heavy basslines and funky effects. But the following three tracks are bringing everything down again, with only Dillinja's "All Aboard" and Bad Company's "Planet Dust" being the next worthy titles. Among the rest weak tunes only "Reflections" by Ram Trilogy of Andy C and "Solarize" by J Majik stand out.
Second CD is much weaker than that. Much less tracks found their place here (only 10 against 17 on the first CD) and each of them lasts for too long (not less than 6 minutes). Even more, the tracks are pretty light and do not dynamic at all. Well, ambient drum'n'bass can be a nice thing indeed, but here the quality of tracks is too low...

Advantages: Awesome album, not a bad song Disadvantages: none i can see
...this album is amazing, the second by this band and just as good as the first. the album opens with the adrenaline packed 'devil in a midnight mass', and leads smoothly onto 'red flag' which opens with its simple but mesmerising drum beat and 'gang' vocals (the whole band singing). Then 'this suffereing comes along, with its simple guitar intro and melodic singing, the chorus to this one will have you singing along by the second time you've heard it. 'Worker Bees' s the next track on the album, a potent metaphor the west world invading the east, and done with a pretty damn catchy riff and the high pitch scraming of Benjamin Kowalewicz. you just cant go wrong with that.the next track is 'pins and needles' with its potent out of tone style intro and emotion filled lyrics, its a winner. next up we have 'fallen leaves' nice intro riff, nice...
