On this album there is a power ballad called “I’ll Be Waiting for You”. It’s a good number, if you consider that traditional metal albums often have cheesy ballads, like this one. Rob Rock can definitely sing well in the power metal style. The album, overall, is a pretty hard rocking work. Rock Rob has the up-tempo rockers, the “epic” lyrics (“First Winds of the End of Time” is title of one song. How ridiculous.), the mid-paced rockers, the guitar solos (good, competent, but nothing great), the riffing (again, good, but all pretty standard), etc. I feel that this album adheres to the standards of formula power metal. It has some pretty cool moments, some cool riffs, some cool this or that, but it’s just too predictable. It sounds very much like a decent solo album that is a product.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
