"the album is pretty different from the happy and fast Power Metal style Gamma Ray usually plays"

"the war theme is there almost for the entire album and the lyrics show a lot of sarcasm about the state of the world at the moment the album was released (which could have been now just as well). The sarcasm is portrayed best in the spoken part of the stomping, Queen-ish opener 'Changes': "News flash! Under the new regulations non-conformity will be punished by law...Relax! And don't forget to unplug your TV-set!""

"Well, main element of that is the variation on the album. From typical Power Metal tracks as 'Start Running' and 'As Time Goes By', to more swinging stuff as '(We Won't) Stop The War' and the inventive (and surprising!) closer 'The Spirit', this might just be the most varied Gamma Ray-album.
There are two songs which stand out for me."

"So I thought that was going to be my favorite song of the album, until I heard the hypnotizing, Egyptian sounds of 'Dream Healer', easily the best composition of the album. The song shows a lot of tension and changes. And beautiful lyrics, just take the closing lines of the song: "Listen to dreams, they always tell you the truth, listen to dreams, it is your heart that is speaking to you"...beautiful!"

Ok I'm picking on these four points because aside from these, it's fanboy jizzing. Not like these aren't on the fanboy side, but I'd rather pick apart what produces an argument as opposed to picking on filler. I'll give him "fast", but saying that the album is varied is saying nothing new. Nothing new in the sense that every Gamma Ray album is varied. Even the shitty ones. The one before this, Heading For Tomorrow, had it's share of fast and happy tracks, but also dark and sad and whatever like the epic title track, and fast forward to the modern ones and you have - omfg - the same formula. What the juice? "typical power metal" - and that is... a huge generalization. "swinging" stuff = what? wtf is "swinging" stuff? "This might be the most varied Gamma Ray-album"

...

Well first off "Gamma Ray-album" has a problem with that "-" but aside from that the sentence itself is false. He's made no evidence for that claim, but even me not trying to be serious, I can name two GR albums more varied.

Anyway, the review is a scrunched-up bitch to read. That's one knock off that could be helped, but then you got these third-rate descriptions with 1 or 2 examples that are name-dropped and not exactly examined. This is an Amazon.com routine that I've done myself back in the day. It says one thing off a whim. The reviewer doesn't have to uber-describe, but what this reviewer says isn't enough to carry the weight of what hes saying. What I'm getting at is that he's trying to build up credibility with the album without doing a good job. Bland descriptions, bad formatting, poor flow, and not enough density.
