Despite the fact that it is energetic and boasts a few anthemic moments, Armor of Light is just good and fairly samey as a result of the unwarranted use of double bass drumming. It is evident at this point that Mark Reale's absence is really important for this band. Nevertheless, the vocals are very good and as a whole, this is a fun experience with limited replay value.

Old school American power/heavy metal continuing the legacy of the original Riot that formed in 1975. Despite the group doing well with songwriting, melodies and catchy hooks the album is a tough sell at 55 minutes long and just about every single song follows the same exact formula. The lead guitar dynamics and the vocals are the most memorable thing about Armor of Light but even then they start to stale after the first half of the run-time. An extremely dedicated fan of this style of metal might be blown away by this but it sounds like something that has been done many, many times.
