Axel Rudi Pell doing what Axel Rudi Pell does. In a few words, melodic heavy rock with neoclassical tendencies and an epic flavor which borrows many influences from early Rainbow but sounds a bit more commercial. The album is excellent on the longer songs such as the title track or "Night and Rain" but Axel tends to overdo it some times by stretching some of the songs more than necessary. Special mention should be made regarding the vocalist's performance which is reminiscent of Dio but not in a bad way. Overall, a great experience which could have been even better with less fat.
