Not yet, but I will do soon. I haven't heard any samples but I'm hoping it will be more like Eternity and less like Dimensions

What do you think of it ?

Bingo!

I hated most of Dimensions so I'm really hesitant to pick this up.

This is one band that has been on my radar for years. But everytime I go to order one of their albums - something else comes out and I end up buying it instead.

You'd think these guys would be part of my collection with all the flower power I possess.

How good are they, really?

You absolutely need the first two, especially 'Crystal Empire'. You need to just trust me there. EVEN THOUGH there will be votes for 'Eternity'.... that isn't as strong an album though it is still good. The first two, all the riffs are great, all the solos are tasteful (and they aren't skimped on like they are on 'Eternity'), there is this deep male choir thing that adds this quirky, almost goth atmosphere here and there that just plain WORKS with what they do. Yeah, happiest band in the world, but on their best days, addictive as crack, with rock solid hooks and guitar work. That all being said, 'Dimensions' is really really ga-hey and I do not/will not own it. I like most of what I've heard off the new one and I will get it at some point....see what the final verdict is...

And the 'Circle of Life' album is not bad...it just has some pretty throwaway filler, but in general it adds a little more old school influence, and 80's influence, than their other stuff, and it usually works well..

I like pretty much all FC has done - including Dimensions. I will be getting the new one very soon...

This is an amazing band. I should be picking up their latest next week.

1.ETERNITY 10/10
2.DIMENSIONS 9.75/10
3.CIRCLE OF LIFE 9.5/10
4.LOTSK is on its way to me!

Okay ... I simply must check out this band now. Just added them to the top of my list!

I have their first three albums. Been a while since i played them but they are all good if you are in the mood for some happy euro power metal .
Not sure if i`ll get the new one.

They are the kings of Euro Happy Power Metal!

I love that one, dude! What's your first FC CD purchase gonna be?

The new one.

I'll let you know what I think of the new album as soon as it arrives! Can't freakin' wait!

I never listened to any Freedom Call, but I'll be catching them live tomorrow. They're touring with Gamma Ray.

That would be a dream show for me! I've seen GR before, but to see those 2 bands together would be far beyond awesome!

I was a bit late so I only caught the end of the Freedom Call set. I don't know if it was something I would have liked a lot. People seemed to be into them though. They got a good response.

Kai Hansen had a cold, but Gamma Ray was still awesome. Fourth time I've seen them and they never seize to amaze.

Right on! I know how disappointed Toho was to miss that show!

Through the first 4 tracks, it's a perfect 10/10! I am stuck on track 4 at the moment. Toho will understand this, I'm sure. As much as anyone could, I guess. This song has a chorus that just won't quit!
