I'm really enjoying this disc!! It grabbed me much more than Reborn. "4 Leaf clover" might be the best Stryper tune since "In God We Trust"! Anyone else diggin' this CD?

I like this disc a lot. It combines the newer sound with the classic sounds. I welcome the return of the soaring vocals, dual guitar harmonies, guitar leads, harmonized vocals, etc.

Favorite tracks 4 Leaf Clover & Mercy Over Blame. I also like the Boston cover "Piece of Mind", I Believe, Murder By Pride and the new revamped version of My Love.

Since the albums release I have played this album so many times I almost have all the lyrics down to every song for singing along lol. It is a terrific album and will get many more plays. I really can not find a single song that I do not like, I even like the slower songs.

I really like it.It does combine elements of old and new material.I've listened to it several times since getting it.and I enjoy it more and more each time.I Love the return of the solos and the harmonized vocals.Right now my favorite tracks are The Plan,Murder by Pride,and Eclipse for the Son.Even the ballads on here are well written.

Yeah, I really like this CD. Unlike a lot of people, I really dug 'Reborn', however, Murder By Pride is much more Stryper-like....a bit more polished and commercial. This CD is still growing on me, but so far, my favorite track is 'Eclipse For The Son'.

I didn't care for "Reborn" much at all and the samples I heard months ago from this didn't sound good to me.

I'm convinced that you don't like anything.

Check the recent thread where I took up for HELLOWEEN, just for one recent example.

I said the same thing not long ago. Razz

I said elsewhere how surprised I was by this album. At first I thought it might be because I thought Reborn was poo but after about 7-8 listens i've decided it's a great album. Too many ballads though.

I thought about making a thread here, but I left a comment in the review thread for it.

Really good. I've listened to Stryper songs, but never an entire album. A lot better than I was expecting it to be. "Murder By Pride" and "4 Leaf Clover" are my faves.

Agreed. And they aren't bad ballads, just overkill.

I guess I'm not the only one that's noticed happy

You're both wrong.

Not liking new STRYPER material isn't exactly something to be ashamed of. Razz

It's not just Stryper you don't like, it's about 90% of the bands mentioned here. Very Happy

Sounds like you guys need to mention some better bands/albums then. Razz

i liked Reborn, but i like this one better. Michael (who has always been the star of the show in my book) really shines here.

This sums it up for me.

I wasn't real impressed. The Boston cover is weak IMO. The whole thing is sort of wimpy, melodic rock stuff. Better than Reborn but is that saying much?

Sounds like I need to pick this one up.

Yep. Top 5 album of the year for me, for sure.
