5.0 out of 5 stars Best Talisman Album!!, October 31, 2006

By	Michael (Australia) - See all my reviews

These guys are a great rock band led by the brilliant, melodic and powerful vocals of Jeff Scott Soto. This album is Talisman's best work yet and showcases their outstanding ability to produce very catchy tunes filled with great vocal harmonies and massive killer guitar solos. If you're new to Talisman this is a great CD to introduce you to their style. If you already know how great these guys are then this CD should definitely be in your collection cause it is their best. It's time to rock!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Talisman 7...please give us more!!!!, July 1, 2008

By	Kon Delesantis "XPCooP66" (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The future of Talisman is potentially in the balance and this is a shame as they are trully one of if not the best melodic hard rock bands to come out of Sweden. With Jeff Scott Soto seemingly pursuing a solo career with the impending release of his solo effort "Beautiful Mess" due for release later this year, and Frederik Akesson now churning away melodies and crunch riffs in Opeth, Talisman may be a thing of the past. Nonetheless, we were trully blessed with this, their 7th release and it is by far their best effort. Once again it begs the question, how do these guys write songs like this? Melodic textures entwined with crunching guitar riffs and song structures to die for. Just check out the sublime "On My Way" or album opener "Falling". These guys sound so good, it's amazing that they never really made it outside of the melodic rock market and onto commercial radio and no doubt, world domination. They deserve it. Buy at all costs...Melodic Bliss.

I have followed Jeff Scott Soto the best I can. He has been in a lot of bands/side projects and they have all been worth owning. Talisman is no different for me. I love the fact that they have awesome guitarists mixed in with Jeff's amazing voice.
