And every element helps ║ │ │║ make the other aspects of the album sound even better. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Crash drums like an absolute madman, his playing not only ║ │ │║ more powerful and bombastic than ever, but itÆs also more ║ │ │║ technical and truly ear shattering. ║ │ │║ Dave shreds harder and faster than ever before, making this ║ │ │║ the bandÆs heaviest album to date. Some of the guitar solos ║ │ │║ are mind-blowing. ║ │ │║ Jona brings an equal dose of keyboards, helping balance the ║ │ │║ aggression with melody and adding several extra layers of ║ │ │║ ear candy. ║ │ │║ Jimmy takes on his role with his usual dominant presence, ║ │ │║ grooving right alongside Crash as ScandinaviaÆs tightest ║ │ │║ rhythm section. ║ │ │║ And what can I say about Erik? We already know heÆs an ║ │ │║ alien from a galaxy far far away, where freakish lung ║ │ │║ capacity and megaphone vocals are commonplace, but here on ║ │ │║ earth he stands alone as the finest rock vocalist anywhere. ║ │ │║ And here he screams, wails, harmonizes and produces angelic ║ │ │║ tones that every other singer should strive for. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ItÆs simply a stunning performance by Erik and the whole ║ │ │║ band. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Additional credit must go to the guys for the production ║ │ │║ and mix. If anything, it is even better than ever, they ║ │ │║ clearly learned a lot from their time in the studio and ║ │ │║ this record reflects that. Absolutely flawless. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ 4 songs have been previewed in full, each one giving a ║ │ │║ solid indication of the rest of the album. ThereÆs 11 ║ │ │║ ass-kicking tracks, the only ballad being Nothing To Say û ║ │ │║ a ballad so good it also kicks your ass. 11 tracks and 11 ║ │ │║ different vibes. Its very cool. ItÆs edgy, itÆs menacing, ║ │ │║ itÆs anthemic and melodic and itÆs fresh. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Of my observations on the album, it is worth noting that ║ │ │║ the songs all that have influences from the past, but also ║ │ │║ strike a clear new path forward. ║ │ │║ The guys have used some different chorus styles and ║ │ │║ structures in places and while some of the choruses may not ║ │ │║ match the anthemic heights of Living On The Run or Point Of ║ │ │║ No Return, the songs actually deliver the knockout hooks in ║ │ │║ the verse or post-chorus bridge. It makes for a really ║ │ │║ interesting learning curve for the album, as the chorus is ║ │ │║ normally the most obvious point of familiarity when first ║ │ │║ getting to know any record. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Highlights are almost impossible to spotlight as not matter ║ │ │║ what song you play last is the one stuck in your head ║ │ │║ afterwards. ║ │ │║ I do have a particular love for the hard edged fast moving ║ │ │║ Dangerous Ground; the classic Heat sound of Come Clean; the ║ │ │║ menacing We Are Gods and its brilliant post-chorus hook; ║ │ │║ the punchy multi-hook Adrenaline (with a nod to EclipseÆs ║ │ │║ Runaway in the chorus) and Heaven Must Have Won An Angel, ║ │ │║ which has a strong Brother Firetribe vibe to it. But that ║ │ │║ said, I now feel mean for not mentioning other songs. ║ │ │║ TheyÆre all brilliant. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 1.
