SW consistently awesome? Ok, let me summarize the album:
Track 1 (Burning Time): Good intro, interesting riffs and great vocals
Track 2: Melancholy is good, but sounds a lot like I died for you, Gets boring fast.
Track 3: Good riffs but extremely lame generic power metal drumming ( Pou-Pou-Ta-Pou-Pou-Ta... got it? )
Track 4: Wow, it's Melancholy with different riffs and lyrics. Lame.
Track 5: Good Song. Drumming could be better again, but oh well.
Track 6: Good song too.
Track 7: This one is okay. It doesn't compare to 'Pure Evil' or 'Path I Choose' though. Lame drumming again
Track 8: One of the best songs of the album if you seperate it from the trilogy.
Track 9: Bah, it's an okay instrumental song. Lacks solos and diversity.
Track 10: Same with track 4. Lame.
Track 11: THe second best of the trilogy and of the album.
Track 12: Nothing original. The lead melody sounds weak. The riffs are recycled.
Track 13. Of course, best song of the album. Nothing to complain about except the drumming again.
Does that look consistent? No. TDS shows a lot more consistency though, same with HS.
