For me it's Crap

I think folks get turned on sometimes by the (Covers & Hype) and then it doesn't matter what a record sounds like.

Another one for it!

I've always found this album over-rated. I don't think it's terrible, just rather boring at times. Mediocre at best in my book. I'm glad that the CD bootleg I have of this only cost me $4.00.
I'd much rather listen to this Messiah:

On the other hand, I've never heard the EP. If someone would be kind enough to do the honours, it would be appreciated.

I don't think that many have it, it's even harder to find then the LP.Avenger wrote: On the other hand, I've never heard the EP. If someone would be kind enough to do the honours, it would be appreciated.

The past few days, this album has been on my mp3 player, allowing me to familiarize myself quite a lot with it. The verdict?
Like. Definitely. A lot!
Why?
The music is not wimpy, the riffs mean business, even though they are rather simple, and they are metal riffs - not hard rock, not AOR, just metal. Yes, this is a more relaxed and mystical perhaps record, with the singer contributing a lot to this album's particular feeling. A nice, warm voice, with vocal lines that are catchy as, well, heaven in this case. Aggressive and imposing he may not be, but there is no need to hold this against him.
The first five songs are absolutely amazing, however, I believe that Lucifer is the best of this bunch. Maybe it's just me, but the keys and the vocal harmonies, give this song a Blue Oyster Cult Spectres' era vibe, at least to my ears.

Okay, I just finished listening to the EP for the first time. The production is definitely better, compared the full-length but that's where any superiorities end. The EP is boring and even though I'm not a big lyric guy, I even found the majority of the content rather terrible. There's nothing remotely moving about this album and with the exception of "We Will Rock", it pretty much just plods along at the same pace, following sequence to the exact same song patterns. In the end I'm glad that I finally got to hear this and also glad that I can now tell other people to avoid it.
