Pretty good if you are into really cheesy/fruity power metal. Which I am. Dunno what else he is doing these days as I don't keep up on TSO and I don't personally own or listen to anything he has done with Savatage (or Savatage side projects rather) since Wake (well I own Poets and Madmen but I have listened to it twice total).

I'd assume he's still a little overweight.

No. Why?








Kidding aside, the intro is pretty cringe-worthy, but after that it's appealingly power-ballad anthemic.

JOP's earlier albums sit better with me. Dude has a knack for some great chord progressions though.

He needs to ease up on the lame intros before awesome anthems though. The solo in this one is epic.


Too much focus leads to tunnel vision
Too much faith leads to religion
Too much knowledge leads to confusion
Too many guitar lessons lead to jazz-fusion
