ever since hearing their track in Guitar Hero i've been a fan of these guys. why has it taken me 2 years to listen to this album? i dunno, that's just a thing i do.
anyway, i gotta say, 1st listen and i was a little disappointed. the first track is an instrumental that sounds very Sword like but after that the songs have more of a 70s rock feel with a Sword-y twist. Night City might as well be a Thin Lizzy cover (which is not a bad thing at all, just unexpected). it's not until track 9 that i got a song that sounds like what i expected from these guys. after a couple listens though the album really started to grow on me. the songs all have a definite groove and there are some rad riffs. the previously mentioned Night City is a jam.
i ended up really digging this album but i still can't help wishing they would've done more tracks like Chronomancer II.
