How was the previous one, "Firesoul"? I still didn't pick it up.

Firesoul is a very good album.

I was busy catching up on their early catalogue, so I totally ignored the last two.

I have most of Brainstorm's catalog and think that they are all very good albums.

What I've heard after Liquid Monster just doesn't seem to have the same great mix of melody and aggression that that album has. The tracks above aren't bad but they just don't have a lot of strong melody IMO.

i am with toho on this one. I thought the last few were very pedestrian...

Liquid Monster is easily their catchiest album. They definitely haven't been able to achieve that kind of greatness since, though all of the subsequent albums are still quite good. And they've all had some very catchy tunes.

These two new songs, though, just aren't clicking with me. They're decent, but...I don't know, just not all that impressive, especially for lead-off singles/samples. =(

I don't know, heard some samples of this one and it sounds very promising...

I recently picked this one up. Yes, nothing has touched Liquid Monster yet, which is pretty close to a metal masterpiece, but the new one is very solid. I give it an 8+/10
