More of a grower IMO but having given it a few spins I'd say it's about on par. I'm putting finishing touches to a review right now. There's one bit I don't like which is a screaming section in the song Children of Red but otherwise everything is excellent. The main difference in the music is that Utopia is quite symphonic whereas Chain Reaction isn't. |
Thanks Adam. I'll wait to read your review before shelling out then!

It'll be up on my site tomorrow, and then on MMA two weeks later.
Though I can assure you that if you liked the first one your money will not be wasted.

Just finished:
This one sounds more like Running Wild than Running Wild do these days.

So it´s not an issue to you, that they´ve practically ripped off riffs and ideas, from artists like Metallica, Megadeth and AC/DC on this particular release? I don´t know if you´ve read Rob Flynn´s rant on this album, but I think he is pretty much spot on.
To my ears they´ve released some pretty decent albums and one really, really great one (City of Evil), but this one is a step down in compositional quality and playing (the new drummer plays pretty standard simple beats compared to the powerful drumming by The Rev), and I am overall pretty disappointed about it.

I agree they did rip-off Guns 'n' Roses(Doing Time) and Metallica(This Means War), but I still think it's a pretty good album.
