I am not going to bore you about this great band’s history because you probably know all about it. After the first fabulous albums a few followed that didn’t reach that high level. With ‘The Cold’ (2010)\u00a0however, they grabbed my attention again and also ‘Ugly Noise’ (2012)\u00a0gets my approval.\u00a0Writing\u00a0reviews about\u00a0bands\u00a0of which the first\u00a0albums are top notch is always a difficult job. Somehow, even if you are not intending to do it, you compare the new music\u00a0with those albums and also some teenage compassion\u00a0plays a role. I try to put that all aside and let just their music do the talking.<\/p>\n

The opener is fast and puts me immediately on the front of my seat.\u00a0 This is a power\/thrash song\u00a0with the typical\u00a0genius tempo changes and melodies. The\u00a0guitar solos\u00a0are fingerlicking good! That same\u00a0high standard continues in the next 2\u00a0tracks.\u00a0“Life is A Mass” is again\u00a0fast, but with\u00a0changes to mid-tempo throughout the song. The high tempo continues with “Taser”, and has a fine part with\u00a0a nice\u00a0eastern sounding melody.\u00a0The song “Iron Maiden” was the first track of the new album\u00a0out on You-Tube. The title already betrays the musical influence, but Iced Earth is a main influence as well. This is probably the song with singer Eric A.K. at his best.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nNext up is “Verge Of Tragedy”, which sounds rather heavy and low tuned, it does remind me a lot of their last 2 albums. The first track that is a bit weaker in my opinion is “Creeper”, it just doesn’t reach the level of the first 5 songs.\u00a0“L.O.T.D.” is a typical Flotsam and Jetsam track, but also doesn’t really impress. After the short instrumental “The Incantation” another less strong song follows. It just doesn’t reach the level of the first 5 songs on this album. “Time To Go” is carried by an interesting bass-line (Michael Spencer) \u00a0and Eric’s singing is a kind of lyrical cascade. On “Smoking Gun”again Michael Spencer takes the lead, the heavy thrash riffs in combination with the roaring bass does its job. The closing track is my favorite song on this album, together\u00a0with\u00a0“Iron Maiden”. It reminds me the most of their debut and second album. Yes folks, the last song is the best one\u00a0if you ask me.<\/p>\nAll in all an\u00a0album of which I think the first half\u00a0has the best songs, halfway it gets just a little bit weaker, but the last song wipes out that\u00a0little disappointment immediately. I know I was not going to compair this album\u00a0with their first\u00a0recordings, but I do it anyway.\u00a0It doesn’t top the first 2 releases, but\u00a0for me it ends third place easily!<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FLOTSAM AND JETSAM - Time To Go (2016) \/\/ Official Lyric Video \/\/ AFM Records\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z2aXxhbcl-Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<h4>Tracklist:<\/h4>\n01.
