Yanni fans and others have come to expect from him "music" that provokes landscape images, religious symbolism, and cultural...ZZZZZ.ZZZZZZZZZZZ. Anyway, the fact is his music has never been the same since his departure from german rock band, the Scorpions. His presence was felt on a few early recordings and fans may have noticed the difference upon its absence. Yanni has completely left behind all previous styles and taken on a new identity in the world music genre. The Album is over the top and over long and will definitely take you into another realm - one in which you may not want to be - So Yanni heads will appreciate it. The only really unique aspect of Acropolis is the out of place appearance of Rob Halford (Judas Priest). I would really like to know how he agreed to appear on it. The unknown Twisted Sister cover song is absent once again - It may not even exist on bootleg. Yanni fans will like this but if you know his metal roots its a little hard to take in.
