That's a great song, but I've always felt that vocal lines are kinda boring though
instrumental parts are great. CSIT is a better balanced song overall.
Might say a word about other few songs too - Aces High is of course their best fast
song, great main riff and kickass double chorus. 'Rime' might sound bit monotone for
some, but it's very atmospheric song with great solo sections in the middle and
great lyrics (though usually I don't care about lyrics). Paschendale is prime example
of post-Blaze Maiden epic, which concentrates around great riffs and verses. Unfortunately
Dance of Death album has really poor production, but it's not enough to take this awesome
song down.
