 |
|
01. Only The Broken Hearts (make you beautiful)
02. Shitload of Money
03. Losing My Insanity
04. Somewhere Close To You
05. I Have A Right
06. Alone In Heaven
07. The Day
08. Cinderblox
09. Don’t Be Mean
10. Wildfire II
11. Wildfire III
Personally I couldn't care less about this but maybe some of you will. All I can say that the cover sucks.

I hope they prove me wrong, I really do, but I agree. The cover is doing nothing for me, and the song titles seem like Tony has gone off the deep end. "Shitload of money"? And why two Wildfire sequals on the same album, back to back? Wildfire was a great tune, but it didn't strike me as a trilogy waiting to happen.
This will all be meaningless if they can get some of their old swagger back, but I have my doubts. |

Ooooh can't wait. Looking forward to the Wildfire sequels, and although the cover is kind of meh, it's better than some of the other ones, and I really like the album title.
But then again I loved The Days of Grays. |

Disagree. Silence was their best, then Ecliptica. WHG and RD are a toss up, but both pretty good. Unia and ADG are where things really went south. Some good moments here and there, but listen to Live in Finland. Those songs do not tranlate well live, and the mixing on that album didn't help either. |

Sing-along, good. Country... erk, unless they do what they did for the Gary Moore cover. |

Shitload of Money
Yeah ( in front of a studio audience ), years ago ( sniff ), we took the world ( sniff ), we were the biggest band around ( hold the nose - sniff ). I made a shitload of money, I mean we made a shitload of money ( sniff ) ( collapsing off a chair ).
Only band that could pull off a song titled Shitload Of Money is Helloween. And Helloweent they aren`t. |

| These guys have fallen by the waste side. Their last 2 albums sucked monkey balls and I have no hopes of this album being any different. |

Listening to White Pearl, Black Oceans... from Reckoning Night for the first time in many years.
Forgot just how good they were...before Unia. |

They were awesome for a long time. I guess time (or Tony) just finally caught up with them. |

Jani Liimatainen(guitarist) left the band after Reckoning Night.
After that they never where the same. Days of grays was much better than Unia, but overall it was still disappointing.
I used to be a huge fan but I'm not expecting much from them anymore. I'll still keep an eye on the band for old times sakes just in case they do decide to surprise me. |

A Finnish metal media inferno.fi had the "priviledge" of listening the album already. I quote:
"The most heaviest and mid-tempo sonata to date"
In the article they mention Edguy a couple of times when talking about lyrics.
Cinderblox is "hillbillys from hell"-style song with heavy metal banjo  |
