Midnight... one of the greatest singers to ever grace metal and a true cult legend. His return has been long awaited and many fans of old have been practically foaming at the mouth to hear his unique voice once again back in the realm of metal. He pretty well vanished off the face of the earth after Crimson Glory split, only returning with an EP in 2000 which was in such limited distribution that practically no one ever heard it. The EP was in fact limited to a pressing of only 100 copies. Those who went through utter hell to attain it were disappointed to find a light and bizarre folk rock album.
On this album though, Midnight promised his fans he would include some harder tracks that would appeal to fans of Crimson Glory. This promise it would seem has gone unfufilled. There are Occasional heavy moments, but they are sporadic and not really metal exactly. I don't even know how to explain how incredibly awful this album is. I've sat here thinking about it and trying to come up with the words but somehow they all seem to just not cover it. I'm not even sure exactly what to classify this album as. All I can really say is... is he serious?
This sounds like a parody of itself. I mean with off key, overblown vocals that sound postively goofy and brilliant lyrics like 'she has a pussy cat that peed when you pet him, but she loved him anyway' this is just a musical abortion. The lyrics and vocals here make me wish for St. Anger to be playing instead. I shit you not. The music is almost like something someone would invent while coming off a bad trip with Simon & Garfunkel playing in the backround. Please in the name of all that is good and right with the world if you ever listen to me about one album... do not buy this. This might be the worst album I've ever heard in my life.
Highlights: Are ya kidding?
