 A fantastic album that contributed to reviving Metal in those dark years, the ultimate pinnacle of Power.

 The Teutonic band disappoints those who expected any kind of musical evolution.

 Sigh No More was released back in 1991; at the time, Kai Hansen was only playing guitar, Ralph Scheepers (now Primal Fear) was singing, and Dirk Schlachter was busy with his six strings rather than the bass (as happens from "Somewhere Out In Space" onwards).
