Ten songs, and not a filler in sight, which in its self is a rare thing these days. Right from the off set this collection of songs has class and style stamped all over it. From the title track of Blood Runs Cold to the album closer of Mr Youngblood you can not fail to be impressed with the music. Blue's, classic rock, Power Ballads, its all here, and every one a gem. Tommy Heart (vocals) puts in an almost perfect performance along with the guitar playing of Chris Lyne, just listen to The Lie, to see how well they work off each other Aerosmith, Tesla, Thunder, can all be heard here, and the fact that Soul Doctor still manage to keep their own sound in amongst those influence's can only stand as testament to how good this band are. If you close your eye's you can almost see those full arena's, and yes, complete with lighter's being waved in the dark. When 2007 comes to an end this CD will easily be in my top 5.

As for that album...It's the best Thrash offering since the 80's and they have been only getting better since their 2003 semi-major release. Rob Lowe's debut with Candlemass is very,very good & <i>King of the Grey Islands</i> is the best Candlemass album since <i>Tales of Creation</i>. Both of these CDs are a must have for any Metal fan... Great Review!! 622072@blogcritics.org Wed, 15 Aug 2007 17:49:50 EDT
