5.0 out of 5 stars Simply a great album, September 17, 2003

This review is from: Labyrinth (Audio CD)

Ii this cruel world of hip hop and alternative metal this release is a big statement and an ultimate proof that power progressive metal of fine quality still does exist. Even though the best years of this genre had to be 1997- 2000, and having in mind that Labyrinth's most notorious record 'Return to Heaven Denied' was released back in 1998, the band were able to come up with yet another gem. This self titled album made me jump out of my seat on several occasions during the first listen.
It starts exactly how all power metal albums start: with an agressive, fast and pompous tune called 'The Prophet'; then it continues with another superb track and then another superb track and it goes on till the last song without loosing its pace. Even the ballads sound powerful and dynamic.
Production is fine just as in 'Return'; the songs are more keyboard driven than ever adding synthetic twists that fit nicely; guitars layers are fantastic, yet the lead guitar is somewhat weak comparing to previous releases. What really stands out though is vocals; the singer having high pitched voice at times hits extremely high notes without missing them.
As a result of all this we have a polished product; a complete album that should be ranked among the best albums of this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just an extremely solid album, August 13, 2003

not a masterpiece or whatnot but still extremely good. The production is AMAZING, some of the best production i have ever heard. The sound is loud, clean, crisp, and sounds extremely fresh. There is only one guitar player on this album but you couldn't tell as he shreds all over the place. Tyrants vocals are as good as ever, the drumming is awesome as well. The keyboard is great, he throws in some surprising twists to the songs. The songs are not too long nor too short. Just a really solid album. For a power metal band, they can shred pretty fast and hard. Tons of double bass here too. If your a fan of labyrinth or power metal then I see no reason why you wouldn't enjoy this album. For a good sample of this album listen to tracks 1, 6, and 9. Thanks, bye.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best since Return to Heaven...., August 17, 2003

Labyrinth returns with an amazing release. This self titled
new one is killer stuff. If you have not heard these guys before
then check it out, along with their 2nd release Return to Heaven
Denied. The new one sounds more like a continuation of Return...
Top notch songs with Power and Speed. The production is also
very good. One of the best releases of the year without a doubt.
