| One of the worst records ever released by MTM. Total nonsense, this modern metal. Nuff said !

| I don´t know if Freddy is right or not, 'cause I have'nt heard this album yet, but the first one, called READY, is incredibly good, pure AOR 100%.

| The first couple of songs take some getting used to. But if you can look past the VERY modern sound, the melody is in there. Give it a chance if you liked the first.

| Have to agree with Freddy. Major disappointment. Typical example of a band that want to evolve. Butn can i say its the wrong direction they are taking. First album was superb. It made them stand out of so many others. But this is more of the same crap thats out there. Well not worth talking any further about this album. I hope this band finds the way back............

| well, i kinda like this release..i remember driving my car to pick up some wine last summer and on my compilation cds i make there was this song 'give it all away'..it was a cool tune, the same can be said for 'happy guy'.. Alfonzetti just tried something else and i must say it's cool enuff for me...

| I really love this album,yes its got that modern guitar sound but Alfonzettis voice brings it back down to the melodic rock arena that he is best known for. I think the way he has combined both modern & classic sounds is really cool & he should be applauded!

| Cannot believe MTM released this rubbish, it's just a horror-show from beginning to end. Decent vocals, but no tunes and absolutely no reason to play this more than once whatsoever. It won't even do the decent thing and fetch a decent eBay price as no bugger wants it. Crap. 0/10.

| No cohesiveness at all. Pure crap and it all sounds alike. Not recommended and DOES NOT sound like 'Ready'. That was at least decent AOR. This is a poor excuse for a release.

| Why the hell would a band who released their first CD in 2000, come back with a new metal piece of garbage like this? What, did they lear about grunge after the new millennium? Did they suddenly say - OH SHIT I guess we better make a grunge album since good rock and metal isn't popular anymore... Well DUH!?? But can anyone think of ONE melodic rock band that went on to make it big in another genre??? The only ONE I can think of that crossed over 'okay' is Southgang to Marvelous 3.

| But then again Southgang's crossover made more sense because it was back in the early 90's. Which brings me back to my original question - Why would a band go from melodic to crap between the years 2000 and 2002? Seriously if I were in their shoes I'd say 'Well since I play melodic rock I know I'll never be HUGE so I'll just write songs I like and stay true to myself' but no - they did, and so many other bands didn't - and everyone who does this instantly loses me as a fan until they go back.

| Matti( Bam bam boys, Jagged Edge) has one of the best voices around but this is just horrible stuff. Grunge attempt at its worst. How can a band release such a follow after the perfect "Ready". Just avoid this one and get the their first album which has a few gems on it.

| Matt Alfonzetti is a great artist and has written many brilliant melodic rock tracks, but I think this baffled many. There is no real point in releasing an album like this in 2002 on a lable like MTM. Odd decision, especially after Skintrade failed to make any sort of impression... but I do kind of like 'The bitter end'. I don't dislike the CD as I don't mind a few songs, but it's just extremely disappointing and Matt can do 100 percent better than this...

| Too boring,modern and anonymous to be an Alfonzetti’s work.I hold it only for his name,an holy singer who made great everything(also that painful and horrible Damned Nation cd).Too bad to be sung by Matti.

| "The Bitter End" es un buen tema con sonido actual y según mi amigo Fexstyx el album en sí es bien moderno y con aires Grunge, Al menos el tema en cuestión no está nada mal. El único tema bueno del album, pues parece que sí.

| This guy is one of my all time favourite singers and I always believed if he sang the phone directory I would like it. Well this album proved that theory wrong and I remember being so disappointed when hearing this when it first came out. Fair enough, try a different style of you feel the need but at least write half decent songs to give it a chance. The only track that I ever took to is "Give it all away", which is great. However while the vocals are as immaculate as ever, even they can't carry this tuneless nonsense.
