I prefer eagle 1 and the latest eagle 3 much more. Of course the tracks Dogs of War, Forever free, eagle has landed, wheels of steel princes of the night. Great white buffelo, requem, crusader, refugee.. are good. Dissapointing I found the track I cant stop rocking, and demolition alley.. These songs didnt do it for me, apart from the great guitar solo from scarret on on cant stop rocking, where the studioversions where great..
Further the recording sound is not as good as on 1 and 3..don't know what it is..it sounds hollow sometimes, filtered.. just my experience..and finally The choice of the songs , I would have liked to see songs like Empty promises and Freewaymad and Taking your chances on it...but ok saxon has time enough to release volume 4---> volume 18 so much material.. And Valanx I agree its really christmas time album.....Strong Arm of the Law is my autumn record, and wheels of steel is my winter record! Dogs of war and unleash my spring records
