Ill be honset..........2005-06-17

Ive only listened to the samples but Ive got this ordered and it should be here in a few weeks. Anyway , Ive got Soul Temptation which is great and Liquid Monster which is phenominal. So im hoping that this severly underrated band will get some recognition. The thing with Brainstorm is if you hear the samples and think the 30 seconds you hear is great then well its not gonna be a surprise when you hear the whole song and realize that its just as amazing as you thought.

This album is WAY ,WAY UNDERATED!!!!!.......2004-06-24

Now true there are a few more catchy song's on the Soul Temptation album.But this album is alot faster with more double bass.So it's really a question of whether or not you like the more melodic power metal or the more Power speed metal approach.To me this group is AMAZING anyway's!And I just can't see how anyone could knock any of their album's.The only minor problem that I had with this album seemed to be corrected more on the next album,and that's the fact that sometimes the lead singer strives to sound like Dave Mustaine,and I think Megadeth fan's would love this aspect,but come on,how many Power metal fan's really listen to Mega Deth to begin with?Probably not that many.That is if there is any...

Potential great?.......2003-07-29

OK, Odds are against these guys ever breaking out in the U.S. but I must admit this band could be one of the contenders along with Iced Earth and Nevermore. Most every song is good, though slightly repetitive (Not nearly as bad as some albums I have heard). To me Brainstorm is somewhere between Iron Maiden and Countdown to extinction era Megadeth. Maybe "Soul Temptation" their newest cd will prove their potential. Worth owning if you like any of the mentioned bands.

This album is a fun, quality album of fun, quality power metal. Unfortunately, the album is also quite uniform to the German Power Metal Sound. Bands like Gamma Ray did it way earlier and way better. The album starts off with several solid entries, most notably Shadowland. The riffs are, without exception, simplistic and, for one reason or another, often sound similar. The chorus' are catchy and well thought out, as one would expect from an album of this sort. The album falters as it goes on with the weaker songs taking up the last several spots.
[...]. there is a whole sub-genre called SYPMPHONIC PM, which generally uses keys.[...].
Overall: Solid but nothing new or special. Maybe with time this band will grow to something original, but until then this is a good start. Unmemorable lyrics and too-similar song structure hampers the group. Still, you know you have a soft spot for cheesy PM, c' mon...admit it! No one will ever mistake these guys for Stratovarius or the prog/power kings SymX, but hey, its all in good fun

Iron Maiden with a speed metal twist........2001-12-27

I love the soaring vocals similar to Iron Maiden with a much faster stronger sound. Great Double Bass work. Terrific songs at the beginning especially "Metus Mortis", "Shadowland", and Checkmate in Red and I love the opening on "Into the Never". They have pretty good use of what seems to be a string section that reminds of Metallica's S&M (good or bad) Songs toward the end seem to lose some energy like "Behind" but overall a quality if not innovative metal album. metal blade records had some short samples up ...
