What do you think to this album ?
What would you say are its strong points , bad points
What do you think of the Guitar , Bass , Drums and vocals

The energy and power, gained from the live activities, makes it possible to describe the new album with just one sentence: "What a blast!!!" People will be very surprised with that, as no matter which style of metal you like, you'll find everything on this album! The band has recorded its powerfullest and most aggressive album ever.

There is only one reason I don't like the G.B. is Tim Owens. If Barlow did the vocals the album would be a hell of a lot better.

I don't think so.....Some mighty songs of beautiful underground-laden sound, full and expansive. Inverted, hanging riffs, Melvenoid spacey trudging, Tab-esque motion, and a deep well of compositional creativity...only a complete dupe would say this isn't a good one.their vocalist is still good.

I do dig the music , from a guitar-playing standpoint.....vocals are good....but this "concept album" thing loses me every time.....

I like concepted albums because they stick to the same topic.

I like this album and think Iced Earth is a really cool band. My favorite song is "The Reckoning" Awesome song.

Yeah I am big Iced Earth Fan But I cant stand Tim Owens

Barlow would have done a better job I like his vocals 100% better, but he pissed me off with his reasons for leaving I.E.

Yeah I prefer Barlow, but I think the album is still good, but Horror Show for me is the classic or Something Wicked This Way Comes. One of the two.
