I hardly remember this album from when I first heard it, but I remember it being worse than Nothing To Undo which was already bad enough. I always have a good laugh whenever Metalium releases a new album - they are that bad.
The only thing from the review I agree with is the "self-parody of the whole power metal genre" part. It fits Metalium perfectly. :rolleyes:

That review actually made want to check out some Metalium. Had Chapter Four one my computer for a long time, and thought it was okay. What I didn't like about the bands' sound was the too piercing or clear guitar sound... (not an expert on these things). The vocalist does have some really strong pipes, though.

He is probably the only good thing about Metalium...and their debut album of course.

As a very discerning power metal fan, this is a great album. Nothing really grabs my attention much anymore in the power metal genre but this one sure did. Does anyone give serious listens to anything anymore? My first listen to this a couple of months didn't do much for me but after listening to it again, there's some great heavy metal on this disc. I guess we're all burned out on traditional and power metal as if this was released back in the late 90's, people would've eaten it up.....

I still get into new power metal, but Metalium would be difficult. I love the first two, and everything after that is bad to dreadful. But I'll give this one a shot. I tend to agree with Marty more than disagree.
