Unfortunately, experiment a little gone wrong ...

"Well," the Lord Balamir be thinking, "If I can be rich already with my music is not, at least I want to create art!". So saying he chiseled his new work with a crowbar special together. Insider there is no rest, no deliberate construction, no instrumental variety. Pathetic, Hymnal there should be a noise from start to finish. Walls of guitars, bass eruptions and a drumming like The Who when Keith Moon's going really. That is probably also impressively uncompromising succeeded, but will irritate some fans of the debut. After all, who expects the same successor, will be disappointed. The sublime, peaceful assembly to tension the outbreak, which shaped the songs of the first album, the successor falls away completely. Here gas is given from the beginning to the end. Salamir can also only marginally change the sound of guitars, so that the work as a continuous narrative acts. Given this similarity in tempo and timbre Amplifier had put the emphasis on the compositions. But here come the weaknesses to light, because that does not succeed. There are quite the wonderful moments full of pathos and beauty ("Elysian Gold") but just the longer songs do not work and annoying with constantly same, monotonous riffs and the absence really rousing melodies. Make fun unfortunately only just over half of the songs by listening to the CD from behind to front really costs nerves.

Nevertheless, it is clear: Even if this experiment is a little gone wrong that a potential of the currently best rock bands have to be Amplifier still and see this Kracher here live is certainly a special treat ...
