Phoenix Reign "Destination Unknown"

Anyone else have this album? I love it. It is a great mix of kind of old 80's metal and modern power metal. It's and album I haven't stopped playing since I got it last week. I love Theresa's vocals. I have a thing for female vocalists in the first place but she has power that adds an extra "spice" to the music. There is a "Maiden-esque" tune on the album named Constaninople 1453 and the ability of the guitarists shines on that track. I like that they aren't a one trick pony in that they bring different elements into their sound to make them unique and a joy to listen to. Of course Wayne Noon their drummer is a member of this board, and he's a heckuva nice guy, but I am trying to be unbiased by recommending this fantastic album to you all. Pick it up!

Yep. Bought it when it came out. I reviewed their last demo, and while I didn't think it was amazing, I smelled a band with a lot of potential. It was just a bit underwhelming overall, but you know when you hear a band that just doesn't have "it" yet and a band that just didn't nail it down. They simply didn't nail it down on that demo.

Destination Unknown pretty much improved upon every issue I had with the demo, and then some. They nailed it down on this one.

Sounds like something for me

Got it a couple of days ago.
Haven`t listened through the whole cd yet (it`s in my car player).
What i have heard so far sounds great, maybe not to impressed with the production, but the songs and their style of metal are just GREAT!!!
Never heard of them until their drummer started posting here, and his avatar (album cover) made me check them out.
They had a nice offer on their homepage (cd + t-shirt), so as often times before i hit that buy button .

This is a really good cd. I was pleasantly surprised. I recommend this to anyone who hasn't picked it up yet.

I really like their sound.Was listening to some clips on their myspace

Im glad to hear everyone has liked it

Wow this is old.... Anyone else ever pick the cd it up and still actually listening to it? haha

I still need to get a copy.....

I saw PR live once, and I liked what Theresa was wearing, but I couldn't remember how the band sounded like.
