Honestly, I didn’t expect from Freedom Call anything to make the world gasp in awe or break the so-well-establish patterns of European power metal. But I didn’t expect such a poor offering as Dimensions either. They must have drunk the same water (or whatever it was) as Hammerfall, because it’s the same feeling; at least they copy themselves; these guys don't even do that. They take, and not in a fortunate or constructive way, passages from Helloween, Blind Guardian and Rhapsody (of Fire), but end up unexpectedly at Candlemass on My Dying Paradise. I think the only songs that are worthy of some attention are Blackened Sun and Mr. Evil, followed by a ballad that is ultra-uninspired and trite, Queen of My World, as are the choirs, symphonic parts and choruses on Demons Dance, Innocent World, Dimensions etc. As background music, the album is a rather pleasant one, just what you need when you have work and want something lively around. But from not bothering the ears to releasing a valid piece of music there is such a long way... I would like to believe that the European power metal scene still has something to say, even though this won’t happen through this melodic but oh so boring Freedom Call.
(+) melodic, pleasant sound background, Mr. Evil
(-) zero squared at originality, omnipresent monotony and triteness


Mad more Nota: 6

Comment on: Dimensions

  • Albumul asta e second best de la ei dupa parerea mea. N-o fi el original dar nici nu m-a dezamagit. Merita un 7.5 m/
