To the Power of Ten


To the Power of Ten is the worst Mantis record. And it is not a bad one. But somehow i feel Gary's voice does not suit in Mantis legacy... in my humble opinion. Gary does great in his record "In Love and War" or all the old MSG stuff (Cry for the Nations, Attack of the Mad Axeman, On a on, Never trust a stranger, rock will never die...), but to me he is not the ideal voice for Mantis.
Anyway there are great songs: Welcome to my Hollywood (the best song), Don't be afraid of the dark, Victory, Only the children cry...

But I can't stand songs as Ball of confusion or title track, they are simply horrible :-(

Despite of being the weakest release, there are great songs.

8/10 nice to have
