Exist Extrene NWoBHM or Biker NWoBHM? With "Unleash The Beast" I think that Saxon create an album of Power metal that is more a 90's Hard Rock album in AR Pell direction!

The songs born old in my mind and not conquest me (except some exceptions) but only because for me Saxon was a band that had already given everything. But in my mind "Unleash The Beast" sound as a 90's Saxon album must play: Aggressive guitars,bluesy arrangements, Power Metal style and great power ballads. In general if "Terminal Velocity" sound bad for me a song as "Circle Of Light" have all I search in a Classic Metal song: fast rhythms, aggressivity, melody, catchy... Great is also "The Thin Red Line", a pure melodic bluesy NWoBHM song and the power ballad "Absent Friends"

Defects are also the length of the album (because of the songs that I don't like) and the recording process (I can not digest the digital recording with Saxon).
