I was listening to this album earlier today in my car. It's amazing. Any fans?

I have a couple of Iron Savior CDs but CONDITION RED is one I'm missing. I love the debut though, was just listening to that one a couple of days ago.

Unfortunately I lost interest in them by the third or fourth album cuz they seem to be one of those bands that keeps releasing the same record over and over again, if you catch my drift.

Actually, Condition Red is my first exposure with this band. I don't know if i should check out some of their earlier stuff.

I love this band! But then again, I love power metal - so to me all their albums are good!!!

"Condition Red" is fantastic!

If you like it - definitely check out their other albums!

A good album but imo, not their best. I really like this band.

I really like it. Once I listen I cannot get the chorus to Condition Red out of my head!!!

My favorite IS album is Battering Ram but I agree they do all kinda sound the same.

I had the same problem with HammerFall after their first couple of records (and to a lesser extent, Primal Fear)... they all started out goin' great guns, but by their 3rd or 4th record each of'em were just spinning their wheels.

You'd think that wouldn't bother me since I'm a rabid Ramones fan and Lord knows they pretty much recorded the same album fifteen times, but after a while all the hot-patooty "new" power metal bands in the 90s got really stale for me.

I feel exactly the same way FF. And I really can't justify it either because a lot of my glam and sleaze bands just keep repeating themselves. Heck, take AC/DC. They've sounded the same for decades and for some reason it doesn't bother me. But repetitive power metal bands get on my nerves pretty quickly. Go figure.

My favorite is "Unification", but they are all good!

especially the last Iron Savior cd, Megatropolis. What a bunch of boring, uninspired, play by numbers, yawn fest that was. I love when bands do what they do best but at least have some energy and vitality to it. The new Hammerfall falls into the category of blah for me as well.

Although I love my power metal, I kinda agree about the new Hammerfall. I found it pretty disappointing myself. I'm hoping it grows on me though.

I have all but one of Iron Savior's discs, and Condition Red is probably still my favorite. GREAT disc!
