This album is a disappointment. The weakest link is the new singer Gus Monsanto. He sounds good at the lower register but as soon as he’s (trying) to take those high notes… not so good any more. There are after all some decent songs as “Place Under The Sun” and “This Story Has to Be Told”. The re-recording of “Spotlight” isn’t bad either.

From: DEEMON Date: February 4, 2009 at 22:25
O QUE MATA NESTE NOVO CD É PRODUÇÃO,POIS É TOTALMENTE TOSCA.COM CERTEZA É A PIOR PRODUÇÃO DO TAKARA ATÉ HOJE.O QUE SALVA ESSE DISCO É O GRANDE TRABALHO DO VOCALISTA BRASILEIRO GUS MONSANTO(ANGEL HEART,ASTRA,ADAGIO,R.R).AS MÚSICAS SÃO MUITO LEGAIS,BEM NO ESTILO TAKARA DE SEMPRE,SÓ É UMA PENA QUE O RESULTADO FINAL SEJA DE COMPARADO Á UM CD-DEMO.70/100.

I can understand Valentine come back(it's almost 20 years)but after 7 years it's impossible to make an horrible cd like this one,because this band had talent.The only decent thing here is a mediocre singer,the rest(sounds and prodiction especially)are really bad.Don't speak about the songs,really poor and same generic arrangments.Avoid.

From: DEEMON Date: March 23, 2009 at 10:49
gus monsanto is the great singer.i love your voice.

From: juan carlos Date: July 27, 2010 at 13:20
Yep, i partially agree with Deemon, the production ruins a bit the album, sounds pretty average production, good singer(Ex-Astra,Adagio,Angel Heart), Good songs, Guitar-solos are not good IMO. My favorite tracks are "This Story Has To Be Told"(My favorite track) "Spotlight"(Re-recorded song from the first album "Eternal Faith"), "Final Warning" and the nice ballad "This Photograph". Good MelodicHardRock somehow. 7.8/10

From: z4roxx Date: July 28, 2010 at 13:59
Sold this one.It's their worst album and sounds identically to the previouses but ten times inferior.

From: rick kerch vzla Date: November 9, 2013 at 19:48
Ummm...sorry guys but i've found this release quite interesting even though the average production ruined it as well as the quality of the composition(probably with a stronger vocalist the songs could have sounded more appealing)..."Nowhere To Run" is a good song along with tracks 1,3,4,6,7(nice),8 & 10...maybe for me the whole album has almost a complete hands up...a matter of tastes but i'll give this one a good rate.87/100
