Beyond the scope of praising adjectives

Review Score: (10/10)
What you have here is over an hour of absolute metal perfection burned onto a plastic disc. As good as their astonishing debut album was this is light-years beyond even that. Power metal hasn't sounded THIS perfect, well written and played with such fierce dedication since Maiden came along with Powerslave way back in '85. There is no equal for this album this year, only releases by Zyklon, Soilwork, Slayer, and Devin Townsend came close to what is the best damn album of 2001! This is what heavy ... metal is all about!
