: This will be the Euro power metal CD to beat this year. It is far

: hard to top.
: It starts off with a killer traditional, galloping power metal
: track. There really aren't any even slightly boring songs on
: this, plenty of variety, and the production is great (not overly
: obnoxiously loud and bombastic which had been a trend for awhile
: but I now notice it is being eschewed, the last two Gamma Rays
: have been a little calmer too).
: The first half of the CD seems more in the traditional Euro power
: metal style, albeit with much improved songs, and as the end of
: the CD approaches I noticed more and more modern touches
: incorporated. This makes for a refreshing-sounding CD with many
: stand-out tracks.
: Definitely recommended.
I like the new FC but for me it cannot nowhere near match Dream Evil's disk nor Rage's amazing disk. I've actually bought the ltd editions of both those disks. Next on my list is Astral Doors and then maybe Freedom Call some time after that. Gamma Ray and FC are touring Europe together right now with Secret Sphere for support but alas it's not coming to the UK.
