2 stars Meh.

I guess you have to start somewhere, and..well...er, it's a start. It's not deprived of qualities, some neo-classical segments of synths and guitars are good and some catchy choruses are heard. If unpolished guitar shreds Malmsteen sauce is your thang, you'll get plenty of it here. Overall, the songwriting is lacking serious inspiration...at many places..in every song. Funny enough: Is the singer's trying to emulate Dio or he's just howling on the can, victim of a diet low on fiber? Hmm, that's the kind of interrogation that keeps me awake at night.

Better than Lulu but far from Dream and Day Unite, for die hard fans. Like really, really dedicated, tattooed, flag wavin' hardcore fans.
