 The Power Of Metal!
When you think of German Power Metal, the first name you should think of is Helloween. The second name you should think of better be Gamma Ray. As we all know, Gamma Ray features former Helloween lead man Kai Hansen. Since Kai has started putting out albums under the Gamma Ray name, I cannot recall one bad album in the bunch. Sure, you could say some albums are deffinately better that others, but there isn't one album in the Gamma Ray catalogue that is truely bad. With 'Majestic,' Gamma Ray returns with another quality Power Metal masterpiece. There even seems to be some re-newed energy injected into the songwriting. Most bands as they get older tend to slow down, but not Gamma Ray. Listen to 'Fight' and tell me that these ol' chaps are slowing down. As with the last few albums, Gamma Ray also includes a couple of tracks that mixes Queen's bombastic orchestrated arrangements with pure Power Metal. With repeated listens, this album only gets better. Though I cannot say that this is absolutely Gamma Rays best album, I cannot recall any other that I have enjoyed listening to more.

 Great CD
This is the best CD Gamma Ray has released in many years. I't doesn't quite match up with their classic early/mid era material, but it's a strong release which most heavy/power metal fans should like.

 The Greatest Metal Band Ever Has Done It Again
After Gamma Ray's exceptional "No World Order", fans waited four years for this album; it was well worth it. Notably darker in lyrical content and feel, "Majestic" lives up to its moniker as well as any album in recent memory. The opening track starts the set list with a bang, followed by what could be the most concentrated song in Gamma Ray's history, simply titled "Fight". "Strange World" rivals any of the band's offerings (Blood Religion would up the ante two songs later), and "Hell is Thy Home" is all the adrenaline and more that you could expect from this band, or any band for that batter. The rest of the album (tracks 6-9) are far from filler, but none stands out in particular as a great song, until the tour de force, "Revelation", which stands along side "Heading for Tomorrow" and "Rebellion in Dreamland" as the pinnacle of Gamma Ray's library and power metal in general.
