"I like it all. I'm all about the 80's...started with Dio on the Last in Line tour. So I grew up with metal/progressive music. I'm also a musician (bassist for over 20 years now).
This album is a masterpiece. It is unique, but it has all of the influences from the golden era (the 80's). It came out when that era was on its way out (early 90's), so sadly it never was as big as it should have been.
Incredible singer, unique and very interesting guitar, bass has a sick tone and jams out, the drums are progressive and solid. The singer has power, sounds like U2 gone metal. Most importantly, the songs are catchy but are a whole new thing. Different, but just great music. You can make what you want from the introspective lyrics.
All that I can say is if you missed this album the first time around and like King's X, Metallica, Badlands, Queensryche, or Fates Warning, this album is for you. Listen to it about 5 times and it will be one of your favorites ever.
Bring Back Last Crack!
