Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Space Police: Defenders of the Crown' finds the German power metal veterans embracing their trademark theatricality and tongue-in-cheek humor with robust, hard-rocking enthusiasm. The record balances massive, arena-ready traditional heavy metal anthems with eccentric detours, including a surprisingly faithful cover of Falco's 'Rock Me Amadeus'. It stands as a highly energetic and commercially successful late-career highlight for the band.
