Stay away from Gamma 4!

"This album is just plan bad. Not because it does not sound like another Gamma album, or because it is not hard enough, or there are not enough blazing solos, it is bad because it is simply a weak effort. The songs are anemic, the lyrics are lame, and even most of the performances are stilted. And yes, when a band reunites and creates something of a continuation of it's legacy, it should have some semblance of their original sound. This just comes across as an album for an albums sake. Uninspired."

Very disappointed

"This doesn't even belong on the same planet as Gamma 3 or 2 (or even 1). Gamma got better with each release, until this one. Listening to it, I get the feeling that both Ronnie Montrose and Denny Carmassi have lost the edge they once had. (Where are the killer drum riffs Carmassi was known for? He became a wimp all those years he wasted his time playing for Heart.) The quality of songwriting and playing just isn't there. Sad, really."
