THE TESTAMENT

This is my first taste of Seventh Wonder. It's clear to me that the musicianship is top-notch. The singer is alright in my book, but I don't feel the pathos. It annoys me, to be honest. I also have issues with the corny delivery of the lyrics.

But there's more. Every track is predictable. As soon as you hear the first ten notes, you basically can guess how it will play out. Nothing surprises me. Tempo changes, solos, everything plays out much like you envision it to play out.

I can't recommend this album. I'm sure there are fans for this. But I'm not one of them. I rate this 2 stars. Fans only.
