I like the throwback sound.

Sounds good to me. I always liked the vocals in Mystic Prophecy.

The cover's pretty good, but I'd like to hear some of their original material before making a decision. It's got my attention though.

Amazon has samples. That's where I went to hear them.

I didn't get any replies. I'm still on the fence. I see it's available for as cheap as 5 EUR plus shipping, so I'm pretty sure I'll just order it this weekend. I don't like to sample stuff too much because it ruins the beauty of the first listen experience. Putting the disc in, kicking back, grabbing a cold beverage and blasting out a new album I never heard while reading the lyrics and liner notes is a sacred ritual for me. As a busy travelling working man, and a father of a 7-month-old, those are the kind of me-time moments that keep me sane.

Anyway, I love Liapakis, love love love Mystic Prophecy and Valley's Eve (own all albums by both bands), but judging by the samples I am hearing, this is more of an 80's hard rock album, as opposed to punishing heavy true metal. I like Dokken, Skid Row, Cinderella, but am basically just lukewarm towards most glam. How does this compare?

I got this yesterday. After two listens I'm not loving it. Too generic retro heavy metal. I love the attitude and the genuine love of the music, and the playing is tight (Kainulainen and Jorg Michael!) and the lyrics are honest and down to earth.... but where's the reason to buy this?

I guess for me it was Liapakis, but I don't know if this compares favorably to anything else he has done / is doing.

EDIT: jewelcase was also smashed. I wonder what the hell the mailman was doing with this?

I ordered the Devil's Train II album.

Devil's Train-New video added. Try it, you'll like it.  OUT_NOW

Should arrive soon. I'll let you know how it is.

I know I said I didn't love the first album, but I guess I'm a Liapakis addict and will blindly buy anything he puts out.

Hey, I have it, and it's good!

It sounds like the debut, but I'm a bit surprised that I like it as much as I do. It took about 3-4 listens before it clicked, and I don't even know why it took so long because the songs are straight forward, but it was that 4th listen (in the car) when I just "got" what they were doing. Big choruses, powerful riffs, sing-along stuff. It was always there, but I think I was just trying to analyze it too hard.

The 5th listen was enjoyable too, but I think there's a chance it'll wear off quickly just because it's pretty simple, basic hard rocking heavy metal. Timeless, in a way, but also not meant for repeated listens within a short span of time. Which is what I've been doing.

I had the booklet at hand on the first listen, figuring I'll follow the lyrics more closely, but I'd advice against that. It's cheesy and malapropistic, pretty much vintage R.D. Liapakis. Love it or hate it. The first song is (probably) about giving oral sex. Or maybe it's just an unfortunately worded bungled up mess (Down On You). Coupled with the odd use of the English language, it's a pretty embarrassing but zany album lyrics-wise.

But the music rocks - the ex-Strato rhythm section sounds great and this really makes me want to put that first 'Train disc back in the player to see if I'll like it better this time around.

I think it's just more of the same which is too bad. Oh well, lots of music i'm enjoying being released.

New Devil's Train album is out, I got my copy today.

How about another cover song coupled with a raunchy video?
