5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible melodic rock, June 11, 2002

I had always been interested in these guys but had never bought an album by them until recently, when I ordered this one from Amazon.com. Fans on sites ...raved about this band and this album, .... This album is incredible.

How can you go wrong with rockers like "Chained", "Lay It On The Line", and the title track? All have over-the-top melodic vocals and instantly memorable hooks. Ballads like "Stay" and "I'll Be There (When It's Over)" also represent the best of what this genre is about. "Stay" is one of the best power ballads I have heard in years. Too bad it wasn't a hit, but it sure will make it on a future burned CD music mix of mine. "Lost In Paradise" is another exceptional song, the epitome of a great rock anthem. Comparisons to Def Leppard in their prime are valid when I think of songs like this--and coming from me (a huge Lep fan) that is a compliment.

I strongly encourage all melodic rock fans to pick this one up. At least as good as most popular rock album put out by '80s "pop metal" bands, and better than plenty of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourite Hard Rock CDs - the best in hard times, March 8, 2002

By A Customer

I first heard this CD while lying in bed with a stomach upset, but it quickly kicked me out of it - the bed and the trouble!
Giant is so unknown in Germany. I went to the photokina 2000 in Köln and was surprised - Wow, now they have crossed the atlantic!
But the new album should not be so good? I don't know.
I've been testing so many Rock-CDs, Christian, Non-Christian, but then I see: it is the standard. I like XT, Fighters, David Mullen, Whitehearts, Angelica (all christian groups). Once I tested a new album of Scorpions. (Still loving you, Wind of change, Send me an angel are so great with Klaus Meine as a Hard-Rock-Caruso) and I really asked myself, if I like Hard-Rock and if there could be good music. Then I put 'Time to burn' in my player. What a difference. The ballads 'Lost in paradise' and 'Now until forever' even speaks more to my heart then Klaus Meines wonderful sung 'Still loving you.' 'Lost in paradise' has more tension, more sorrow, more feeling.
Yes, this Rock sounds like the 80ties, but isn't that great? I can't hear those heartless 'Soul', Hip-Hop, Rap, Techno any more and good rocksongs have been destroyed by the silly techno beat with weak voices. Some songs are really fast and you can sweat in deep winter while dancing. It's a lot more power than Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi have in the 80ties, not talking of them in the early 90ties. (Then I dropped my interest in their music.)

Real 'Hard'Rock, melodic, sometimes aggressive power, but never trashy...

I never thought Giant had it in them. Their first album was pretty good and usually everyone's first was pretty good. But along came the sophomore slump and that just doesn't exist on time to burn. It is by far their best effort heads above Last of the Runaways. With songs like Thunder and Lightning, Stay, I'll be there, Giant has won me over. I would suggest that if you don't have it get it, a great set of songs from a group that should of been around longer than they were.
