Although from a different orientation can be no question, but to "War of Kings" a piece stands far away from the previously heard. The references to the Classic Rock, which had to offer its predecessor remain in force and were significantly more moved to the center, so that Sweden will present a thoroughly classic sounding album that stands in the rock of the 70s up to his waist. Accordingly, there is little here and there to hear Deep Purple moments, as well as a dash of rainbow here and there. Is allowed in this selected range of course sometimes a broadside good old blues ("Praise You"), of course, including the obligatory Hammond organ, which revives elsewhere the Spirit of Grandmaster Jon Lord. Old hands like Europe, which also have been her return again eleven years in business, can not be all that, of course, easy to nail on the retro track, even if the oriental melody in "Rainbow Bridge" as directly from already mentioned decade in the presence seems beamed. Old men mourn for the good old days? On the ass Waldfee! How defiance rocking you through "Hole in My Pocket", the powerful has steam in the boiler or presents a groove monster in the mold of "Children of the Mind". The pigs cool mid-tempo rocker "Days of Rock 'n' Roll" would have been on the album a younger troops as Audrey Horne one of the highlights, while some stoner-inspired youngsters for a track like the beguiling "California 405" probably offset her grandmother would. Honor that to such songs much fit, but certainly not polished glossy production. Fully aware of, it has sometimes Fünfe be in the studio and let some uncleanliness just run, resulting here and there in a drone or creaking, the songs but that provides the correct tonal framework. "War of Kings" is thus a trend-resistant, but become Rocker mass ready record, which gives itself no nakedness and will thus become one of the major albums under current consensus guitar friends this year. Skillfully is just clever.
