Thunderstone returns with their third release and again...my third time trying to like them.  I bought their debut based on a description somewhere...you know when they say an album is for fans of.....Helloween, Strat, BG..etc... so I bought is and was like totally indifferent about it.  I didn't hate it or really like it.  When their second one, The Burning, was released...I bought and whammo....the same reaction.  I figured I was done with Thunderstone, then I saw the video for Tool of the Devil and thought...that sounds cool...so I bought the album.
 
So here I am again, wondering why I don't hate or like another Thunderstone album.  There is just something missing from these guys or there is something I am just not getting.  Production is nice, the vocalist is limited but okay...the songs just dont do anything for me.
 
Mostly mid-paced stuff...no screaming double-bass assaults or anything.  If you have any idea why, please let me know.  Nothing is really grabbing me.
 
Favorites: Tool of the Devil, I Will Come Again, Land of Innocence
