Free Music Notes for Power Plant
Free Music Review: High Voltage
Hit: 4 Stars
German power metal gods Gamma Ray closed out the century in style with their 1999 album Power Plant.
Power Plant doesn't quite reach the same level of perfection that was found on Land of the Free, but it is an extremely solid power metal album that is on par with Insanity and Genius or Heading for Tomorrow. This is epic progressive power metal like only Kai Hansen can deliver, full of fist-pumping metal anthems (Heavy Metal Universe being the obvious example). I suppose there are an abundance of metal clich?s on this album, but since when is that a bad thing? This is a power metal album after all! There are plenty of great songs on Power Plant, but my absolute favorite is the band's cover of the Pet Shop Boys (of all people) tune It's a Sin. If ever a pop single was crying out to be covered by a metal band, it is that song. Gamma Ray speeds it up and makes it metal as hell. Brilliant! Now if I could just convince Dark Tranquillity to record an album of Cars covers...
I suppose it goes without saying that Gamma Ray would appeal to Helloween fans. Fans of the more recent power metal bands like Sonata Arctica, Freedom Call, Edguy and Hammerfall also owe it to themselves to check out Gamma Ray, and Power Plant is a good album to start with.
