Last century left us this great MASTERPICE! The contents let us know the worth of it, regardless of the brilliant guests. Each song is enough to conquer best place on any other fine album. It will be second to none any heavy album from oriental and even in the world through my life!

Pero quien es el tontolavas que vota en este disco, no voteis sin escuchar los temas para que vuestros preferidos esten en la lista de mas votados, este es un buen disco , sobre todo para los guitarristas estilo malmsteem, un 8/10. ABSTENERSE VOTAR TONTOLAVAS

I find it hard to believe this could be such a great album if it only has 9 tracks and 4 of them are instrumentals. So cmon people - what makes this album so good? Which ones are the best songs and why. I'd like to know before I go shelling out $80-$100 for it.

atencion al punteo de when we rock, uno de los mejores dentro del hard rock.

From: meradona	Date: March 1, 2005 at 15:55

Songs are well-done but by using various musicians,its total impression became loose.The solo of "When We Rock" kicks!!

I'm sure people voted on this CD without even listening to it, because the rating is a travesty. 'When We Rock' is a killer up-beat melodic metal track with a mad guitar solo that's right up there with Dragonforce's incredible 'Through The Fire And Flames' guitar solo. 'Restless Heart' is just another great melodic metal song with the right atmosphere thats suits well as a closing song. The instrumentals sound like metal arrangements of video game music from the 80s and are quite good. Great CD!

This is a good CD to own if you like 80's hard rock/metal. It's traditional and power metal. Restless Heart with Kal Swan of Lion on vocals is the highlight/best song on the disc for me. Great catchy power rocker that does remind me of Lion. Vocals are real good on all the 5 songs(the guys have the traditional/power metal high voice). Kuni's solos are great and he is unique but for those who've never heard - he's like Iron Maiden's guitar guys with hints of Yngwie.Definitely recommended!7/10

Also to add: the instrumentals are good too if you like good melodic catchy guitar work. Like Nix said, they sound like 80's video game music - like double dragon (for an example). Check out Kuni's other release too - Lookin' for action with the great Jeff Scott Soto on vocals. That's probably the first CD to check out for Kuni - it's my favortie from him.

Tu lo dijiste Meradona ABSTENERSE VOTAR TONTOLAVAS buena palabra aca hay uno de ellos que le pone 1 a este buen album y asi hay varios por ejemplo hay 1 que jode al mejor album de Stryper hablo del que salio en el mejor aņo de todo el Rock sino fuera por ese TONTOLAVAS ese album estaria mas arriba, sobre "When We Rock" sin duda uno de los mejores solos y punteos que hay "Restless Heart" es otro Temazo.

Wrecker and super album of impressive Melodic Metal. 90/100

From: rbrigade	Date: January 25, 2010 at 11:50
Really good album! Could be better with fewer instrumentals. It's more metal than hard rock. The song with Swan is indeed fabulous. The rating sucks.

From: 123charpenay	Date: November 11, 2016 at 17:30
it s a very very average affair with a singer very common and a guitarist who think that is a god of the six stings.error he make only a boring demonstration.the follow up "looking for action" with the exceptional jeff scott soto is far far better.

From: 123charpenay	Date: November 11, 2016 at 17:38
"six strings" sorry

From: James IV	Date: March 1, 2024 at 19:45
All the non-instrumentals are killers. A great addition to any high quality Rock collection. 85/100
