Gamma Ray Land Of The Free II CD

 Solid
Solid album, but not great in my view. The spirit is there, but I feel like I've heard all these riffs before, either in another GR song or in one of their influences. It's almost like they are remaking songs or something. My other beef is with the production. It's not even close to the last couple GR albums in sound quality. The drums and a lot of the guitars sound like mud. Remember how Nevermore released "Enemies of Reality" and had to remix it and rerelease it? I'm expecting the same thing to happen with this album. Is it just me? I've discussed this with other fans and they didn't hear it...it may just be me. Sorry. Otherwise enjoyable album.

 Another Helloween
Another Kai Hansen's Helloween 20 years later; not less nor more. Get the remastered Walls Of Jericho instead...

 Great contemporary metal album
I've been into metal for 30 years so I've heard most of it before. The influence of Iron Maiden is evident (From the Ashes is a Maiden tribute I think!), but the strength of Kai's voice is amazing and the tightness in the riffs superb. Empress and Opportunity are standout tracks, and overall this album is a great combo of old and new speed metal with a diversity in riffs and tempo that many contemporary metal bands should pay attention too. If I could I'd give it 4.5 stars!!

 GREAT STUFF!
This album rocks and has sufficient diversity. They continue to put out the a**-kicking tunes. I think Dr. Metal needs to get a new stereo system (no offense Dr. M) - everything is crystal clear to me. Anyhow, some of the songs do have the flavor of the older stuff which adds to the overall enjoyability of the album; it also has a high playback rating. Rock on!
