The other musical comrades are among the good in their particular field (eg Jörg Michael Drums (Stratovarius and Saxon)). It starts with the dashing opener `Streets of Fire '. Also `Long Time 'and particularly the title track (7 minutes) to fully convince. The musical direction I would describe as a mix of Rainbow and Dio solo. Even a little Yngwie Malmsteen heard out, what can of course also be due to Mr. Soto. In `Sweet Lil`Suzie` Axel makes even Jimmi Hendrix. Ever convinced Mr. Pell on guitar wholeheartedly.
However, since 2 or 3 rather mediocre songs are at the start, a total of 4 stars are justified. "Eternal Prisoner" is fun, but later albums like "Oceans Of Time" are even stronger.
Supplement June 2015: The first two albums are not so bad. Here I must correct my 1st set.
