I was hearing good things about this band from a friend so I decided to check them out. I got my hands on a copy of 'Rocket Ride'. Upon my first listen, all I could think about was that this band sounds exactly like every other band of this type. I found almost no originality, it was all good old power metal. I guess this could be a good thing for some of us but I like music that is exciting and original (DragonForce anyone?). What I am trying to say is, for power metal, this album is so average it's almost funny.

Edguy's most straight forward release to date. While at times it does get a bit stale, most of the tracks here are fun and catchy as hell

This would probably rate higher, were it not for Trinidad and ****ing with Fire. An accomplished album with a couple of howlers.

It's an OK album at best. I'm trying to put my Edguy fandom aside for this one since, prior to Rocket Ride and Tinnitus Sanctus, I was a pretty huge Edguy fan.rAfter listening to the likes of Mandrake and Vain Glory Opera it's apparent that Edguy have(/had) a remarkably unique sound and style that has shockingly been shoved to the wayside and forgotten entirely, which was arguably their best selling point as a band. The whole album reeks of "Quick! Let's do something popular!" and thus has become something likeable to newcomers of Edguy's music and something of a disappointment to existing fans like myself.rOverall, as a standalone album Rocket Ride is enjoyable. In contrast to Edguy's previous and vastly superior work, Rocket Ride is flat, boring, and trying too hard to be something it simply should NOT be.rIf you didn't like this, don't waste your time with Tinnitus Sanctus either.

Generally power metal geeks aren't going to like this album, because it's not geeky power metal. However it is a fantastic, inspired, and well-written piece of rock music.

I think it is a pretty damn good album... I havn't heard any of the others (I plan to)
I especially like The Matrix and Superheros.
Both great songs.
