简介: Line-up
- Chris DeGarmo / guitars, backing vocals
- Eddie Jackson / bass, backing vocals
- Scott Rockenfield / drums, percussion
- Geoff Tate / lead & backing vocals
- Michael Wilton / guitars, backing vocals
In a nutshell, this album is somewhat Iron Maiden styled metal with a much darker, more socially aware, and sometimes futuristic twist. There is good twin guitar work with a lot of leads, simple but effective drum playing with a small trace of double bass, and the superb operatic vocals of Geoff Tate, but rather then concentrating on a riff/solo/instrumental splendour kind of approach.
Most of the songs here are pretty enthralling and show a real good sense of variation for the most part, though mainly sticking to the band's meat-and-potatoes metal roots. The opening title track jumps out at you with Geoff's melodic half-shout of "Warning!" putting reverb to good use as the band opens up with a mid/slow paced crunch, showcasing creative drumwork and a solid backbone for the vocal and bass drum driven chorus. "En Force" and "Deliverance" are both very good, albeit somewhat generic melodic metal songs - though the Rÿchean creativity still shines in the closing soft outro of the latter. It's with the album's lone ballady piece, "No Sanctuary" (an old favorite of Maiden's Steve Harris while on tour with the Rÿche, for you trivia buffs) that the album starts getting well above average.
