ALBUM:OCEANS OF TIME
ARTIST:AXEL RUDI PELL
YEAR OF RELEASE:1998
RATING:****

My favorite ARP album to date. Lots of brilliant guitar from ARP, an excellent Dio-ish vocal performance from Jeff Scott Soto replacement Johnny Gioeli, and good music all around. Plenty of fast songs, a couple of ballads, an instrumental intro, and 2 long(9+ minute) songs combine for ~65 minutes of musical excellence. Cool cover art(not by Andreas Marschall for once) too. For fans of Malmsteen style guitar wizardry, ARP won't dissappoint. Highlights include "Holy Creatures", "Pay the Price", and "The Gates of the Seven Seals".
