Some of the best power metal you're going to hear in recent years.

Every song just blends into one, without any real highlights to show for it. The true charm lies in the simple yet effective arrangements paired with Ghedi's vocals, but it isn't enough to keep one coming back for more.

Does anyone else hear "Time to Pretend" by MGMT at times in the opening track? Anyway, this album was fun, but I think it will fall by the wayside for me pretty quickly.

Favourite tracks: 7ft Tall Post-Suicidal Feel Good Blues, Pleasure Pen, Leave Your Cares Behind, Don't Pass Me By

The two tracks that bookend Gatecreeper's 'An Unexpected Reality' are enough to warrant your attention on what is an extremely enjoyable album from start to finish. Its short runtime aids it in a genre that can often feature over-bloated albums.
