The best album in my CD collection !!!

I am by Michael Schultes new album "The Arising" just thrilled! Every single song is a work of art in itself. Whether one takes the powerful opening song "The Arising", or the melancholic "Thoughts", the bombastic "Rock and Scissors," the fast-paced "The Maze" or "Dear Doubt," one of my all time favorites on the album - every single song tells a story and leaves a somehow disappear into another world.

The beautiful ballad "Beautiful Mistake" goes straight to the heart, as well as the very large "Mountain Spring" (hear since the first live one and a half years ago, one of my Schulte-favorite songs), the rock ballad "Frozen Over" and "Take it all away "... all the songs beautifully arranged and performed with Michael Schultes unique gentle, sometimes slightly hoarse voice, which is convincing in every pitch.

I could write so much about "The Arising", but not a word can be this masterpiece really do justice. I can only recommend: buying the album and you hear yourself .... you will not regret it - I promise!
