I buy this album because I wanted to listen to an album of Matt Sinner after listening to Primal Fear. Ok, great idea! But...

...But Bon Jovi isn't Mat Sinner... And sure... Axel Rudi Pell and Steeler are his contemporaries!

I could not believe my ears! What was I listening to? a German version of Bon Jovi? Or, rather, Bon Jovi imitated Sinner? Immediately metabolizzai "Hypnotized" and "Faster Than Line" seemed like a really interesting piece. Of course, I was struck by his power, mitigated by keyboards. I tried to find differences between Sinner, Bon Jovi and other similar groups behold "Comin' Out Fighting". The title track is a piece that incorporates some American Metal mixed with Judas Priest, becoming a little gem for the nascent Power Metal, though, if I judge this track a great tribute to the Rolling Stones (not stylistically, of course, but only with a desire to be revolutionary, each in his day!). "Age Of Rock" is another Pomp Metal, with aggression but with a lot of melody . Great work of Jon Airey and Chris Tsangarides. "rebel Yell" is a famous Billy Idol song, here is very faithful to the original. Great guitar solo. Here the side 1 closes, leaving me really amazed by the quality of the music! Side 2 is open by "Lost In A Minute", with a Rainbow (with J.L. Turner) style. Only who feels that Sinner is a German band and not English, because the song is... I do not know how to say... is more angry and more direct. Great solo in the style of Blackmore. And good carpet of keyboards. "Don't Tell Me (That The Love Is Gone)" is a great Power Ballad. But... Just a second... Why Sinner sounds like Journey? Simple. Sinner being a German band Scorpions was too obvious copy, with a voice that is a copy of one of Steve Perry! To describe "Germany Rocks" you just have heard Sinner and Axel Rudi Pell in the period with Rob Rock and Jeff Scott Soto. "playing With Fire" (Hmmm... That Metal title!) is a great melodic Speed Metal, typical of 80's Metal, in this case with good originality. Here, too, great guitars and keyboards. A little anonymous the sheet music for drums. The refrain really do get in the mind. "Madhouse" closes the album, in a kind of accelerated mid tempo with typical keyboards of Pomp Metal. Only now I realize some influence of Magnum, a song (but I would say in an album) with big choruses and soli.

Today's style Sinner seems the usual style of the 80's Metal. But, if I place in those years, I find that Sinner was a band, in my opinion, essential to certain melodic Power Metal, with regard to the use of guitars and keyboards. Not a masterpiece, "Conin' Out Fighting", but a great album.
