a cry for the new world

this is a strange record for mantis. is not a bad one, just a bit strange. it was the first without a mantis in the cover. :-)
anyway it has its shining moments: letting go, a cry for the new world and journeyman rank amongst the best songs composed by the band, mainly by the troy brothers.
i like tino's and chris' voices, and loving tony's then i find colin's a bit strange. don't misunderstand me, it is not a bad voice, but at least a bit curious
mantis seem to have a compromise with earth, so songs flow in this way. you may not find many love songs in mantis 'repertoir' but, as i said once, as long as the songs are good, that's enough
it was voted in japan as 4th metal record of the year.
8/10 nice to have
