My Personal Favorite

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is probably my favorite RAGE album. It has the heaviness (and almost dark/death-metal-like feel) that was hinted at with Black in Mind, along with slightly more deep and agressive vocals from Peavey. As I mentioned in another review, his voice is truly like another instrument, and not just an accompaniment.The songwriting on this album is awesome, and much more consistent than other Rage albums, which inevitably had some filler or lesser songs. In fact, this album has an incredible number of songs-- all good to say the least. And the best ones are truly RAGE high points.This would be a perfect album if it contained a few more of the RAGE classics like SENT BY THE DEVIL, SUICIDE, LIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS, among others. However, the album would then be way over the 80 minute maximum.Some highlights from this album in my book are DESPERATION, HIGHER THAN THE SKY, END OF ALL DAYS, heck even the lone ballad FADING HOURS is probably the best they've ever written.GREAT buy, and I think a wonderful introduction to this influential and important band to metal."
