Title: Wimpy, Thin - Is this Therion?
Review: By far the worst Therion album in my collection. It's like they ran out of funding and had to record this album in someone's basement with no multitracks nor chorales. Where's the amazing orchestration? The layered vocals? Ugh, this is just a "run-of-the-mill" pop-rock album. You may as well go buy from masters of that genre like AC/DC or Metallica (fine bands, but by no means Therion). No evidence that this is at all like their previous offerings based on Symphonic Metal - just a basic, pedestrian pop-rock meh. As I said, other bands pull off the Pop-Metal genre far better than this attempt by Therion. Hopefully they will return to being the Symphonic Metal powerhouse they used to be (a la: Deggial, Lemuria, Secret of the Runes, Sirius B, Theli, Vovin - GK simply does NOT fit in with those works).
Is the review positive or negative?
