Happy times! This is joyous music. Not as amazing as Enforcer, but still very good. I like the hair metal influence in Celestina, it makes me want to have a bit of fun. And all the harmonies are wonderful. I love it.

What I would really like though is bands like this to try and do something a bit more modern and fresh. It's great that bands are paying homage to the best genre of music ever in existence, and doing it well, but there's nothing new there. What Enforcer have are the speed and energy of thrash, despite still being pure NWOBHM, and the integrity and passion there manages to make up for the lack of originality. But there seems to be something missing with White Wizzard. Not sure what it is... but still I like it.

The one single problem with bands of this genre though, is this - if they keep trying to be like Iron Maiden, they'll only end up second best. Someone needs to do something different, otherwise soon the genre will be flooded with new generic bands everywhere, much like the thrash scene.
