Unisonic - Light of Dawn

New album coming out next week.

I loved their first album. This one was an automatic purchase for me.

Yeah, really looking forward to this one. And that is a most ridiculous cover. Haha.

The album was hugely disappointing to me. There are 3 great songs, and the rest is pretty boring. You can see a review in my signature, but basically there was too much hard rock and not enough metal, and the hard rock was much worse than it was on the debut (which I enjoyed a lot).

Is anyone else bothered by that cover looking like an H.R. Giger-designed sex toy?

Meets Jules Verne.

20,000 Leagues Under the... You know what? I'm dropping that joke before it goes somewhere we're all going to regret.   

This is a really good album. And Michael Kiske shines on this one, he's the star.

Band sounds good, songs are enjoyable and this time it's less like a Pink Cream 69 record, the band actually has their own identity.

The highlights maybe aren't that "exceptional" this time around, but there's a lot of deep cuts I really like. Including the bonus track. And even ballads! And I'm usually not a ballad type of guy. I'm sure a lot of it harkens back to my love of the Keepers era Helloween ballads, which I always loved for some reason.

Could not disagree more. The debut is a great album, but I think Light of Dawn is much better. Sure, it's got some hard rock sensibilities, mainly in the big choruses, but it's most definitely a metal album. And an excellent one at that.

great album indeed. one of the best albums for 2014.

yep. I think it is really memorable too.

Was rearranging my collection earlier this morning when i saw Unisonic's 2 cds in the back row. Man, it's been years.

Definitely pulling them out for a fresh spin next week.
