| 4.0 excellent | ChaoticVortex | May 21st 15 | Don't know why the rating is so low. Sure it's not as heavy and fuzzy like the previous albums but it has a very retro approach to it's 70's like hard rock music and Apollo's voice is great.

| 3.0 good | Antonius | September 26th 15 | The introduction of Apollo behind the microphone gives a new dynamic to the band. His powerful and engaging voice in combination with Amott's sharp riffs create a solid sound for Spiritual Beggars. The album starts with some heavy yet engaging riffs ("Lost In Yesterday", "The Chaos of Rebirth"), however it takes a hard rock twist. "Star Born" is the shorter song in length but is one of the catchiest in the album. "Spirit of The Wind" is the atmospheric song of the record sandwiched from two explosive and energetic rockers ("Coming Home" and "We are Free"). "The Road Less Travelled" is probably the weakest moment and thankfully is coming at the closing of the album just before the decent cover of Uriah Heep in "Time to Live". Recommendations: "Coming Home", "Star Born", "A New Dawn Rising"

| 4.0 excellent | Cactupuss | September 15th 14 | I love the heavier albums of SB, but this is just as good, just on a completely
different approach. Sometimes if feels like one of the previous singers would suit better, like in
"Lost in Yesterday". But overall, it has a classic rock vibe that suits both Ammot's playing and
Apollo's voice. I enjoyed it very much and find it very underrated...
Favourite tracks: "Believe in me", "Time to Live" (epic Uriah Heep cover), "Lost in Yesterday",
"We Are
Free", "A New Dawn Rising"

| 3.0 good | Weirdbeard | July 26th 14 | This album feels tame compared to earlier efforts and I'm not that enamored of the new singer... but thankfully Apollo has redeemed himself and found his voice on the new Earth Blues album!

| 0.0 | spiritualbeggars | September 8th 10 | Well guys, i don't know how to rate this album now, this is forsure my favorite metal band, i don't know why it was listed here in Rock, anyways, SB has gone through somekinda of change not only the vocal, but also the style, which migrated to be more classic, less heavy, less stoner, so i won't rate now!
