Im a hardcore falconer fan, im still rockin the first 2 cds, just awsome, lyrics, melody , singin, voices just soar, and the melodys are great. Then septer or deception, gave it a chance, new singer was ok, did ok, lyrics were pretty good, still sounded falconerish, Now this new CD. Boy ole boy. i like only 2 songs, thee only one that sounds like the falconer of old is Purgatory times. I cant even listen to a couple of the songs, cuz the singers voice goes all screetchy high like an 80s hair metal band. Sounds like the scorpions or somethin. And lyrics , i dont care for them. I like mystikal stuff ! like lord of the black smith, or clarion call. but jack the ripper , :( falconer has changed too much. Sounds more like iced earth now. Which is ok, but i wont be buyin the next cd, unless its called . The Return OF Mathias........../ just my 2 cents.
