Iron Savior's debut is a very solid album, great as a whole piece. Not a single bad song imo. Maybe only 1. All songs offer something.

It's because of the great talent as a musician of Kai Hansen. You can instantly hear his guitar signature in every song, like in "Riding On Fire". :)

Nevertheless, Piet Sielck is a great composer too. ;) These two guys have done an amazing job on the first three records. :cool:

Given this two listens so far, pretty good, but don't think it's as good as their other two albums, there's too many tracks and they are mostly in a similar style. I've been listening to the 4 tracks that had already been released a lot, and they are probably the best stuff on the album, so that kind off takes the gloss of the rest of the tracks

This is the best SX album in my opinion. It doesn't really have an Odyssey or an Accolade, but every song is just extremely good. Pretty crazy comeback after the flop Iconoclast.

This was how I felt about it back when it came out, it was very close to my favourite record of theirs. Nine years on, I mostly don't return to anything off the album bar Legend and - sometimes - Charon... and silly and one-note as it is, I enjoy Iconoclast more as a whole, though I realise that once again I must hold the controversial opinion.

Nah, I get you in a way (not the Iconoclast bit, you're insane :D). I don't feel the urge to hear it often too, despite how hooky it is. It doesn't try to touch the stars like the classic albums did and it's pretty forgettable as a result. You think of SX you think of ambitiousness, not necessarily the long tracks, nothing in Underworld is as memorable as the solos in Fallen or the vibe of Wicked. On the other hand, they really nailed this album, more than the classics I dare say. And it's not like it's cookie-cut either.

Charon and Legend - definite highlights.
