| I have never heard Gandalf before so when I first put it one the stereo I thought that this is just another death metal band, but how wrong I where. This is not another death metal band, this one, just as the tilte says, ROCK�S HELL! Take In Flames and mix it with AC/DC and you will get Gandalf, but they have found their own style to play death metal and every time I listen to it I fine new things to enjoy. The heviness goes like an red thred through the whole album, it starts with the In Flames smelling �L8X Queen�, for slowing down in the laidback rock �n� roll track �Geysir� and then get more energy the whole way to the end with �Castle Of The Stars�. This is rock�n� roll, this is death metal, it�s this years best album and if the year continues like this, it will be an pleasure to wake up every morning. -Uffe |

| So after ten years in the buisness it�s time for Gamma Ray to release an best of album. It�s not many band that can put so many good song on an double CD and still there is songs that I miss. The fun thing with this album is that 13 songs are re-recordings and an bonus tracks �The Silence� that has only been avaible on the E.P. �Silent Miracles�. The re-recordings are songs from the albums �Sigh No More�, Insanity And Genius� and �Heading For Tomorrow�, so all Kai Hansen lovers can now hear him sing on all the best Gamma Ray songs. It�s not only the vocals that has been changed, some of the tracks comes in new versions, take �Heading For Tomorrow� for example, the new version are much better than the old version. I�m one of those who prefer Kai befor Ralf Scheppers on vocals and I can enjoy this but are you an fan of Ralf will you probebly despise this album. Gamma Ray are the leaders of power metal and this double album shows why. -Uffe |
