REINXEED “Welcome To The Theatre”

REINXEED
“Welcome To The Theatre”
(Liljegren/Doolittle)
After the Swedish Hits debacle I have little interest in checking out Reinxeed. Perhaps it will be my loss but I feel that this could be a total waste of time. I haven’t even paid attention to the previous releases but I am not worse than I at least can give it a fair chance. That the intro makes me think of an old Western movie doesn’t exactly add to my excitement. But never judge a dog by its hair. This is power metal of the more symphonic type. Think early Rhapsody and you get a pretty good idea of what to expect. I don’t know if this will make me run out to get the previous four albums but on a good day this is as good as anything else, if not better. I am a sucker for this bigger than life symphonic power metal. Anders Ekdahl
