Title: My heart is breaking
Product review: I have loved Kiske's vocals since Keeper Part 1. In fact, he was my favorite metal singer. I love his guest appearances on Gamma Ray's Land of the Free and Masterplan's Heroes. Instant Clarity had a couple of good songs on it and that was followed by the horrendous Readiness to Sacrifice. Unfortunately, this follows in the wake of R.T.S. and is almost as bad.For some reason, when Michael sings metal his voice is awesome, but when he sings rock his voice sounds whiny and annoying. I found the vocals on this album terribly irritating, almost out of tune, and practically unlistenable. Not that I'm suggesting that Michael go back to metal - he's way beyond that - but it seems he's lost his ability to write a good tune (actually he lost that somewhere before R.T.S.). There is nothing memorable on this album. A couple of the better songs are Let's Be Heroes, Boiling Point of No Return, and Turn It. He Pretends makes me want to vomit.You can skip this one.
