First of all, I gotta say that I enjoy the whole album. There is not one bad song on it. Every song is very good and it's hard to pick 3 favorites due to the high quality of each song but I'll give it a shot. My 1st favorite by far is Subhuman. In fact, it is one of the best songs I've heard in quite some time. The words are very good, I really dig the message, the heaviness and the catchiness. All this together makes this my favorite. #2 is Alter Ego. I like the fast pace of the song. I like the words and expertly executed vocals and the fun drum part. As a drummer myself, I can appreciate that. And #3 would be Rat Race. A perfect reminder to not work your life away for the pursuit of money. But what really gets me hooked is the "black sabbath vibe" of the song. The multiple tempo changes, the multiple solos and the ultra heavy riff make it very enjoyable. But all and all, front to back and everywhere in between, this is one of the best rock albums I've heard in a long time and I truly appreciate it, and I truly recommend this to any rock and metal fan. To Michael, Tracy, Paul, and Randy... Thank you!

Hey "oldschooldoom," - in answer to your question: "Is this a Christian band": Gale Force is not classified a “Christian band,” although I am a Christian, and I believe what you do reflects who you are. Same thing for a lot of industries: a plumber doesn’t say “I’m a “Christian plumber,” he just says “I’m a plumber." But it’s how you live your life that determines who you are.

Tough call for 3 faves, but currently Subhuman, Where Am I Going and Fire in the Hole, but that might change.

Bought the CD & DL Pretty darn good stuff incl. the bonus DL, but with Tracy and Michael i knew it would be great! I still need to give it some more listens before I can make my judgement.

I bought the CD + Download yesterday, and I can not get enough of it!!! I just downloaded the bonus track and it is just as awesome as the rest of the album!! There is no way I can pick 3 favorite songs off of this album. I have listened to it all the way through at least 8 times and there is not a single "throw away" song on this album....there is no need to hit the "skip" button on any track...in fact the only thing you should be doing when listening to this is turning the volume way up!!! I've been a fan of Mike's vocals and songwriting since I first heard Rock For The King when it was new...then I got every album sa it came out after that. I was fortunate to see Barren Cross play a couple of times in Minneapolis. I also have Bare Bones, and One Direction Left..From Hell, and Studio A- The Acoustic Session....All excellent!! There will always be a love for the older material, but this new project from you guys blows me away and I am grateful that there are still people out there making top notch music like you guys are!!! The production, the vocals, the entire sound as a whole is superb!! You are all excellent at what you do, and the combination of your talents truly shine through on this masterpiece!!

Greetings from across the pond!! Like 'Steve A' my first contact was at the release of 'Rock For The King' (yes I have some mileage!!) Concerning Christian metal, it was a bullseye on the first go! Blew me away then and still does. Was fantastic to learn from social media (Facebook) that Michael Drive had given birth..in a musical sense! Cannot wait to own this..alas will wait for the download only option(?) if it appears as..postage alone to me is more than the CD itself!!! Crazy! Love love love the artwork too. Beautiful. Thank you so much for the gift of a bonus track! Santa came early and did not disappoint!! I wish you all the success you deserve. You guys have made the future bright. Cheers!

Hey just wanted to thank you for the bonus track you sent along...sounds good and heavy. Been a fan of both Mike and Tracy for a long time now. Remember reading a 99 out of 100 review about a Christian band called Barren Cross way back when the Rock For The King album was released...couldn't find it anywhere so I went to a Christian bookstore and ordered it and was blown away by what I was hearing...the vocals rivaling Bruce Dickinson and killer heavy tracks like He Loves You & Dying Day and it's been a favorite ever since and I still have all the CD's...And also been into Tracy's music through Dio and his deviating From The Setlist covers CD they I brought in to a store I used to buy for and it was well recieved. Glad to see Mike getting back out there as it's been too long since Rattle My Cage...looking forward to the new CD and will pick it up after Christmas as the USPS is beyond slow right now...glad your back!!!!
