I listened to the album today and it's better than I remembered. ''World Of Fantasy'', ''The Sage, The Fool, The Sinner'', ''Who Is Mr. Madman'', ''If A Mountain Could Talk'', ''Raise The Noise'' and ''Where The Sinners Go'' are all very good songs (with the first two being some of my favorite songs of the band). Heavy and melodic is a great combination!While the album is really heavy, the songs are as catchy and melodic as ever. The beginning of 7 Sinners with Where the Sinners Go and Are You Metal? is a bit misleading imo. Most of it is amazing power metal. I agree that at least I'm Free should've been included too.
''Time To Live'' is similar to the title track, but both songs are great imo. The former is one of their most catchiest songs and a personal favorite of mine.Gamma Ray - To the Metal!
Not great, though the version on Spotify is in crap quality. I spot yet another copied song in Time to Live...
I was actually talking about I Want Out, they have almost identical choruses. Kai reuses a lot of material, on LotF II there are at least 4 Maiden rip offs, but I imagine it's more like easter eggs considering how obvious he makes it.''Time To Live'' is similar to the title track, but both songs are great imo. The former is one of their most catchiest songs and a personal favorite of mine.
Man I love most of those songs. A couple of them are pretty unique for the band, The Departed included.Also, I got to second half of The Dark Ride. Salvation, I Live for Your Pain, and We Damn the Night are pretty decent, and I haven't heard Immortal enough. The title track is good, it feels really close to being the darker sibling of Halloween and KOT7K. But The Departed is probably the best song on the album. It really stands out with the big delay riff and the awesome chorus. Great singing in the verses too.
So true. The best song in the album imo.The title track is good, it feels really close to being the darker sibling of Halloween and KOT7K.
A curious opinion. What do you think of their classic albums from the 90's or the last two?
