Ring Of Fire

I hope this is a joke right ? I mean why the fuck Mark Boals (Malmsteen current singer) is making a Malmsteen copycat for his side-project ??? So originality wise this album is worth 0 !!! As you could understand, this is a Malmsteen-like or Malmsteen wanna be release, I let you pick one. And it's not a good one since the guitars is inferior (surprised ? I'm not), and that the originality, which by the way doesn't exist makes it a pitty release. Keyboards are boring the hell out of me here and the music has absolutely no feeling nor identity. Guitars are not bad but trying to sound like Malmsteen is a mistake to my opinion... although very close from time to time it loses the "soul" element of Malmsteen music (which already tends to be quickly boring itself to my taste). So it's probably better than last Malmsteen album, but that's not very difficult since the only couple of track I've heard where only good enough to throw the CD out of the window. The only things that saves the days are some vocal parts and the rocking artcover. But that's not enough to justify buying the album if you ask me. If you're into Malmsteen into deep and your can't live without owning everything that approach the style then you can try this one, cause you might even like it. But otherwise I think that we don't have time to lose, even so there are some nice moments in that album, most of the time it's simply boring because it reminds you of something you already know and furthermore has been done far better. In 3 words like in a hundreds, Bad Malmsteen Copycat. Next please.
