This was a Markus Großkopf's side project and I understand many people did not like this album. Like I do with all my CDs I see if Ult and Kmorg has them and read their reviews. Ult had it but didn't think too much of it (he didn't hate it but he felt lukewarm toward it). While I tend to agree with Ult 80-85% of the time, I hear this album differently. The vocals are pretty damn good, the guitar solos are tight and the bass playing is emaculate (this being Markus, that is pretty much a given) and my favoirte aspect of the music. Anybody else around here know of this album and actually enjoy it?

Forgot to mention how I came accross it (as I usally do when I start a post on an album):

I was skimming through the buy one get one for $4.95 at my usual used CD store and came accross it. Wasn't sure I was going to get it and was going to listen to it first but I noticed Markus in the band photo and knew I had to get it.

Didnt I put one of their songs on one of the compilations I gave you? Maybe I didnt but yea of course I heard of them because its another Helloween related project haha. I thought the album was pretty cool. The singer is a little rough but you just have to get used to it kinda like Grave Digger or even Accept. It was the only album they made but it was a good one.

One listen and I threw it in the trade pile years ago. It's still there!

No suprise there Uncle Sax. I wouldn't think it'd be your cup of tea.
