CD Reviews

The last years of piracy??
spher | Skyland | 05/13/2001
(1 out of 5 stars)

"When I first heard the previous album of this band ("The Rivalry"), I thought that it could be just a temporary "semifailure", like, say, "Point of entry" of Judas Priest. But now I see the descent continues. "Victory" is definitely the worst work of Running Wild, it's just a boring mix of their own old ideas and themes. If you have heard only this and/or previous album of the band, than take the word of an old music (not only metal) connoisseur and listen to their earlier works ("Masquerade" and before). They are much, much better."
It's hard to please everybody.....

"Well, it's really amusing to see the childish reactions
on Victory. Back in the late eighties/ early nineties there
were really lousy reviews by critics against
R.W ; " They are sounding the same - all the time".
But the fans loved it. Well, would you not know -
when frontman Kasparek tries to develope
the sound and make a step towards musical progress
then the same kind of unruly bastards shout
" what is this - it isn't like it used to be ! "
What the f##k do you want from the guy !?
To the reader ; do not mind the previous reviews
they are not serious. Although it is true that
Victory is marking a notable change in songwriting
and production ( it isnt the same tight,deep
power sound that you heard on the albums
BHI, Masquerade or POS ) - but to say that it is
bad is simply not true. In that case you never
understood R.W in the first place.
Secondly ; those of you who complain ; have you
missed the songs " Timeriders" , " Into the
fire " or " The Hussar " ? They are strong and
solid up-tempo hymns in recognizable R.W-style -
no question about it.
The album is absolute worth attention , but
for those of you who expect the same
smoking aggression that dominated
POS or Masquerade - be prepared this is
a little more progressive.....
As for the Beatles-cover " Revolution " -
it's a interesting song in new cloting ,
but I'd prefer to hear it on a Beatles-tribute
not a R.W-CD. A good metal album , and
still able to kick the life out of any
competitors who race in the same track-
german classic power metal that is....."
