A touch of the European Power Metal style can be found on the opener "Regeneration" with "Rebelution" and "Streaming Star", as with the whole album, seeing more in common with Metals in the early 80's and the NWOBHM.
"Third Wish" lets John's voice shine for a bit in the opening verse followed by a very Manowarish rhythm section, even the solo and bass lines brings me to the loin cloth a bit. O, did I mention that Joey Demaio was executive producer, that explains my last sentence. The song on a whole climbs and descends like a mountain for both the arrangement and Johns fantastic vocals. Is this a Saxon riff on "Masquerade" or what?
Feinstein (bad name though) while following in the footasteps of Heavy Metal's forefathers, writes for all the old schoolers looking for a Dio, Rainbow, or Manowar for today.
