Words that came to my mind when I heard this album: "What's wrong with Michael Kiske these days". I was COMPLETELY DISSAPPIONTED when I heard this cd. I know that many musicians, after years of doing the same thing, change a little bit in their music repertoir. Michael Kiske did the wrong thing. This album is full of pop music. No power metal in the cd. If you are looking for a power metal comeback from this guy, you are looking in the wrong place. I suggest buying a Michael Jackson cd instead.Power metal fans...hear this: get away from this cd.PERIOD!!!
