 ANOTHER GREAT ONE FROM AXEL RUDI PELL October 20, 2003
ZaF (Lima, Peru)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
COMPARISONS ARE ANOYING, BUT JUST FOR THE ONES WHO DONT KNOW AXEL RUDI PELL, I MUST SAY HE IS A STRANGE FUSION BETWEEN THE FEELING OF RITCHIE BLACKMORE AND THE SPEED OF YNGWIE MALMSTEEN.
STILL, THAT BLEND GIVES HIM A SOUND OF HIS OWN.
ANOTHER COOL THING ABOUT MR. PELL IS THAT ALL OF HIS ALBUMS ARE GREAT. BUT "MAGIC" IS ONE OF THE BEST ONES. COOL SONGS, GREAT GUITAR WORK AND AN OUT STANDING VOCALIST LIKE JEFF SCOT SOTO.
THIS IS A CLEAR EXAMPLE OF WHAT PEOPLE MISS WHILE THEY ARE PROGRAMMED BY THE MAINSTREAM TO HEAR CRAPY BANDS LIKE LIMP BIZKIT OR BLINK 18SOMETHING...
GET THIS RECORD... IT ASSURES YOU GREAT GUITAR PLAYING AND AN AMAZING SINGER.

Axel Rudy Pell is perhaps the greatest unknown (in the US) metal guitarist today. He plays in the style of Ritchie Blackmore, but harder and faster. A reviewer said Axel "plays like he has only one day left to live", which is not an exaggeration. If you miss the melodic heavy metal of the 80's, or are a Blackmore/Rainbow fan, you owe it to yourself to listen to this disc!
Outstanding melodic metal October 21, 1999

I've been an ARP covert since I bought "Eternal Prisoner" several years ago. Pell writes classic melodies with memorable hooks, and this album, along with "Between the Walls" and "Oceans of Time" is his best. JSS has a great voice, although I prefer Johnny Gioeli; however, whatever the reviewer below me says, Axel plays guitar beautifully, and within the context of each song. Note the soft texture of his solos on "Eyes of the Lost". Altogether, an excellent album and one I play very frequently. .
Neo-classical Progression May 17, 1999

Axel Rudi pell's gutar playing amazes me, he can easily blend shredding to melodies. The carrier track "Magic" exhibits his technical flexibility. Killer shredding in the 1st track, nicely executed.The music characterizes melodic playing with neo-classical overtones and at times shred. I find the lyrics of the track "The Clown is Dead" quite amusing but then again Scott Soto's vocals blends well. To those new to the genre Axel Rudi Pell is a guitar virtuoso in the vein of neo-classical players. This CD is worth investigating.
 Great vocals, great drumming, POOR recording, POOR Guitars September 7, 1999

This record has some good songs and JS SOTO's voice is excellent, the drumming by Joerg Michaels (from the excellent band stratovarius) is also very good, although the drum sound is horrible thanks to the producer...Axel Rudi Pell...He just can't produce! Everything except the vocals are horrible soundwise. And now to the real horrible part...The guitar solos....THEY SUCK! He play without any feeling and trys to play a lot faster than he can pull of...Hell, I'm even faster and have TONS more feeling thatn this guy! If he had hired a pruducer and a lead guitarist it would have been an Excellent CD.
