5.0 out of 5 stars
better then expected, May 13, 2006
This review is from: Lost in Vain (Audio CD)
I gave this 5 stars because it exceeded my expectations by a lot. With the appearances of Rob Rock, Friedman and others I knew it would be a decent power metal album. But I have not loved everything Ken Tamplin has done in the past and as he produced and played on it I was a little skeptical.
Hey, this rocks. It reminds me quite a bit of Rob Rocks solo stuff. And though Tamplins fingerprints are all over this it is all good. My complaint of his stuff in the past is sometimes it feels too bombastic. Yeah, power metal is over the top but their are points to reign it in just a little and with this album it does.
Great riffing and drumming here and the vocalists do a superb job. It feels a little late 80's at times but I highly recommend it for fans of well done power metal. Find this and buy it!
