 ... generally mood boosting. My favourite lyrics of all time can be found on this album too: "Ain't no reason that money can't buy, mink he pretty so mink he must die...". Only Genesis could write lines like that! The track listing is as follows: 1. Abacab: This bright, rock pop number is great to dance to! The lyrics are almost nonsensical - the abacab title was derived from a song labelling system the band had produced. The chorus is catchy and memorable and Collin's has a rough and ready style which is quite s...more

Pleasant lead guitars, and an insight into the early years of melodic death metal. It's all about the guitars, and even those aren't particularly stunning.

Solid death metal. Uninspired.

3 Blind Guardian classics and a faithful cover song. Short, hard to find and not really worth the effort.
