Album Notes & Community Reviews
Serving as Michael Kiske's final album with the band, this release remains one of the most notoriously polarizing entries in the German power metal legends' discography. The incredibly eclectic production largely abandons speed metal entirely, experimenting wildly with acoustic pop, horn-driven swing, synthesizers, and symphonic hard rock.
