CD ReviewsActually, 3 1/2 stars Metal Lover | Davis, California United States | 12/30/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "This was the last release from this great band before a long hiatus. Coburn Pharr was on vocals (he also sang for Annihilator on their 2nd album). His vocals are quite different from JD Kimball's, but powerful in their own right.
I know many people were disappointed in this album, but I think mainly due to the loss of JD Kimball's vocals and the CLASSIC Omen sound. While containing a few mediocre tracks, this album (esp. the first half) contains at least four or five strong songs, especially the title track and 'Cry for the Morning'. Also a highlight: a great metal version of 'Radar Love', possibly my favorite version of this classic song. I give it 3 1/2 stars due to the few weaker tracks. This album is essential for any fan of Omen." |
