By Mr. H TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Album number four from the Finnish power metal combo also sees them marking their tenth anniversaru. Now I'm going to try and snake oil you by claiming that this is essential, because it's not. However, it is classic eighties metal done with style and panache. And what could be more enjoyable than that?

Vocalist Pete Ahonen has a lower register than a lot of power metal singers, something that definitely helps Burning Point stand apart from the herd. As does starting your album with a cover version of "The Godfather" theme music!

It's an excellent album, chock full of cracking riffs, in your face production, and some top quality tunes like 'Manic Merry-go-Round' and the frenzied 'Face The Truth'. It comes recommended, but you might want to pony up an extra few quid, and try to track down the limited edition. If you do, you'll get some bonus cover versions with special appearances from ex-members of Running Wild, The Rods and Q5.

3.0 out of 5 stars Production Failure 15 Dec 2010
By Johnny Cajun - Published on Amazon.com

I am giving a review score of three on this CD. Please, don't get me wrong. I believe this band is an incredible band. The last couple of albums by Burning Point truly were rock masterpieces; however, the production on this CD is not the best. It really pisses me off when a song ends and there is 6, 7, 8 or even 9 or more seconds before the next song begins. I know this is trivial, but a metal album should keep your heart pumping and take you from one headbanger to the next and not let you cool down betweeen songs. I believe this CD is loaded with very good songs but the production of this CD tends to lead me away from the fact the songs are written very well. The musicianship, the lyrics and even the vocals leads me to believe this band is in the forefront of modern metal. This band can easily hold it's own with bands like Bloodbound, Burning Black, Black Majesty, Adagio, Amorphis and Mystic Prophecy. All bands leading us into the future of Heavy Metal. As stated, I really like this band and the songs on this CD, but I am having a hard time with the production quality. If you can handle a metal CD which allows you to take a nap between every song, then this CD is for you because the songs are very good.
