RATING – 5/10 – As much as I liked about half of this album, I detested the other half just as much. It is looking more and more like these guys have gone round the bend a bit too far to get back. There are just too many bands doing this style bigger and better at this point. I am certain that my rating will not come close to matching those from people who plan their year around releases like this, but I was actually hoping this would be a good album because I have enjoyed this band a lot in the past and had hopes for a return to glory.

seriously though, intermission was a compilation of tracks and b-sides from old albums, a kind of best of if you will, hence hunting high and low was orignally from Infinity. it appeared next to cold winter nights from destiny. it's like saying. ahh brave new world by iron maiden is a good album, but not as good as best of the beast. you can't compare an album outing where they have spent months making, to a compilation of songs from previous albums. put together in a few weeks.
I personally havn't bought the album yet as when I heard maniac dance, I was not impressed at all.
albums after a band has had problems are always on hollow gound. sometimes you have to overlook it and hope for the next album to show strength.
a bit like the american metallica
