1.0 out of 5 stars Don't even bother..., September 28, 2006

By	Patrick Cole (Coral Springs, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is not only, by far, the absolute worst Stormwitch album, but probably some of the most awful music ever recorded. It sounds like they weren't even trying. The music lacks the fire and the passion of their melodic 80's power metal opuses, and it doesn't move or inspire me at all. It sounds like they were trying to imitate the late expermintal, jazzy Led Zeppelin sound, but they are very bad at it. There is even a song in which they tried to incorporate the Spanish Flamenco sound... STORMWITCH DOING FLAMENCO?!?!?! yeah... pretty lame. This disc is absolutely useless to me, so don't make the same mistake. Save your money for "Beauty and the Beast" and "Stronger than Heaven".

1.0 out of 5 stars Strange, July 3, 2006

By	Matti Koivusaari "Maza" (Helsinki, Finland) - See all my reviews

Word of warning, this album does not sound like other stormwitch releases. This is experimental and rather odd, poppy art school rock. Nothing to do with the great heavy rock classics they made in 80's, nor even melodic power metal of their later releases. So if you are into raw heavy rock try Stronger than heaven or Tales of terror instead, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Band, June 27, 2000

By A Customer

This album is by far the most intense and original album of this century. It makes me ecstatic to see such wonderful musicians creating such wonderful music. I still can't understands why this band hasn't acheived commercial success, perhaps it's because most people couldn't handle such raw and emotional music. I think anyone who hasn't heard this, or any other Stormwitch album has lived a sad and sheltered life. STORMWITCH ROCKS!
