The same applies to the projects in which he was involved in the last 10 years. Allen & LANDING I like only the first two albums (a few songs from the 3rd album), the new is the purest diarrhea. Inconsequential uninspired. If this were a new band, was there not even a record deal. Russel Allen begins already similar and catches only in side projects, while his main band SYMPHONY X, also published only boring albums (with a few exceptions on the last two of albums Michael Romeo is of course always good).
MASTERPLAN should be happy that the land is no longer there, because with "Mk. II" was a much better work than with his swing.
Only Gastsingerei (for example, at the grottigen AVANTASIA) the current band, which goes only to the rich coal.
Such great albums as of VAGABOND, or ARK, or a work like "Out To Every Nation" there will be no more of this man, the hope I've given up, unfortunately.
Sorry that I make such a negative review, but I'm disappointed musically.
Even from the people who sugarcoat any dirt, because they have either no possibility of comparison, are numb, or be easily paid for the commercial writing these reviews.
