Info:
What a smashing opening ... the first seconds of "The Gift" are beating your ears up with a riff-staccato like a nasty blow. Progressive Power Metal. Oops ... it's gone already ... a smooth intermezzo ... a keyboard transition ... hey and now again the riff-staccato ... a break with bass and keyboards ... a straigt metal-part ... then hurrying up the scale ... smooth vocals ... screaming aggressive vocals ... and now a guitar-solo par excellence reminding me of the time of the hundreds of Malmsteen-plagiarisms in the end-80s (but in a positive way). To describe this song is just ... a task for life. It seems that Treasure Land did their metal-homework since the glorious time of the mid-eighties. For several time in this album the wind of that great metal-time seems to blow again ... just to get wiped out again by great progressive parts.
