My short review of my first impressions: Running Man is The Trooper, Whore of Babylon is a slow version of Vortex by Megadeth and sounds like a really bad song overall (even though I see that song is a remake of an older one, it still sounds awful!), Freak Show is just pretty god awful, Prime Time just sounds ridiculous, the new vocalist is rubbish and not even anywhere near as half as good as Russ North, and it's all just bloody hilarious.

And just look at this bloody front cover for god's sake.


I love Cloven Hoof, and Sultan's Ransom is an amazing album, but good lord, just please give me the new Iron Maiden album now.

The singer isn't that bad Jon, he had a hard position to replace.

I love the artwork, haha.

But yeah song wise, it's not that sparkly.

The artwork is AMAZING.

Pretty bloody bad!

I just hate the sound of the singer's voice. Technically he's fine, but he just really annoys the hell out of me. He's like Blaze Bayley, but better, and yet somehow worse.

But it's very very hilarious, and I will still be thoroughly entertained by it!

He sounds Swedish??

This would be OK if this wasn't Cloven Hoof. The band can do better than this!

A bit of let down and I preordered this ages ago too.

I think the problem's quite obvious - he's trying too hard to sound like a tough American! On top of that, the riffs are flimsy

Build a riff! Don't copy one down for christ's sake!

Damn, I thought it was a Slough Feg demo until the vocals kicked in
