Negative Positive
Title: One Star or Five?
Review: I guess it depends on your perspective. The first track is hysterical and probably worth your time, but the humor seems to wain shortly after. It's simply one of the worst albums I've ever heard in my entire life. It's so ridiculous it's awesome. The band tries to mask their inadequate songwriting with frequent flashy solos that have absolutely no meat to them. Technically they aren't even impressive. I can't tell you how many times the guitarists repeat the same riffs in their solos. What they are good at is double picking vamps.There are strong similarities between certain passages in this album and Celine Dion. I'm not kidding. How can these guys have the balls to get the "more metal than thou" platform? Let's not even get into the lyrics. They make Helloween and Blind Guardian look like gifted lyricists.I'd save money for that fantasy sword that you're saving up for.
