Album:
This album is U.S. power metal at its best. I truly do love this album. This album has more speed metal influences than the European variety. This album is definitely on the heavier side of power metal. This album embraces its speed metal roots and has a lot of speed metal influence in it.My favorite tracks are Master Control and Eye of the Storm. Eye of the Storm is a heavier song for power metal as is this whole album. Master Control is also really speed metal influenced. Master Control is a great album and it is sad that U.S. power metal is overshadowed by European power metal. I still really enjoy European power metal, but this album just proves that U.S. power metal is better. Power metal like this with a lot of speed metal influence can really appeal to a really wide audience, even those who don't like metal. That is what is so special about this album is that most metalheads can listen to this album and really enjoy it.The vocals on this album are really good and are unique. He can hit high notes on the songs. The guitars are very fast and are distorted but not like thrash or death metal. The bass is very good as well. The drumming is also fantastic. Everything is played very fast. This album is fast all the way through, not really slowing down that much. I think this album can be enjoyed by non metalheads. There are better options for a beginner album, but this an okay start into the world of metal. Nothing is bad about this album. I think this is an example of a perfect album. Every song on this album is great, and the sheer speed of this album is a huge influence on power metal and especially power metal from the U.S.This album is a must listen for power metal fans and a must listen for fans of metal in general. This album is everything power metal should be and is one of the greatest albums in my opinion. I give this album a 10/10 and is great.
