Freedom Call: Silver Romance
 Cards firmly on the table- I'm a fan of Freedom Call so much so that "Metal Is For Everyone" from 2016's Master of Light is my ringtone. The band regularly features in my end of year Top 10s and have done for many years. British rock critic recently said something along the lines of the only way you can ever review anything is to compare it to something else. In that sense, Silver Romance sounds like a solid Freedom Call album.
If you don't like Freedom Call and (to use the distinctly pejorative term) 'Cheesy power metal' you'll probably get precisely nothing out of the 53 minutes on offer. If you are a fan you'll almost certainly cream yourself all over most of the tracks herein such as "Out Of Space" with its magnificent keyboard intro.
The album is awash with hooky melodies, power chords, somewhat nonsensical lyrics often about how awesome being in Freedom Call is, and big production values. It might be a couple of songs too long at 13 tracks but if you don't get to the end of "Metal Generation" (a reworking of the studio track "The M.E.T.A.L. Fest" from their most recent live album) full of joy then I'd be indulging in some serious pulse checking.
