Now we can feel good about liking it. Through Your Eyes The songs, while they are good songs and pleasant listens, are somewhat lackluster and minimalistic in great head turning hooks. They throw in a part that could sound fresh if the songwriting was any good, but then just scrap it afterwards and go back to the very dull poppy chorus. Keep Your Dream Alive What is meant by that is that Novum Initium is a pure representation of what this band is about, distilled to the point of all but eliminating a the peripheral moving parts that gave the first two albums their uniquely progressive niche and also toning down a lot of the rocking elements paved the way for the more AOR oriented character of power metal that came into prominence in the mid s, getting the jump on Edguy and several others by a year or two in the process.

Masterplan – Novum Initium Review
His voice fits perfect to the songs. This album is proof that big names doesn't always equal out to a great album.

They just throw everything and the kitchen sink into random songs trying to come off as different or artsy, something other than the bland poppy garbage that really lies underneath it all.
nvum Even so, there is lots of interest points in here, songs "Betrayal", "The Game" or "Black Night of Magic" shows Rick Altzi as someone that wants to "come, see and conquer" and he reach some moments of brilliance during the record. Pray On My Soul Now we can feel good about liking it.
Pretty much the closest things to balladry that come into play here are found in the 80s revival grooving romp "Through Your Eyes" and the more hard rocking and punchy yet keyboard oriented affair "Earth Is Going Down", though they spend little time in quiet territory. It is not a proud reason on the repertoire of the germans, but is a step that was to be taken and, after all, makes sense. One might even go so far as to label this band as an extension of Roland's solo career, though keyboardist Axel Mackenrott came into the fold fairly early in the game and has stuck it out 11 years.

Well, Masterplan always were a winning "team", nevertheless the last couple of years were kinda afflicted and we have many hires for this new record. However, the ten minute title track and especially the latter half of it is awesome.
It's not as if the music isn't fantastic and full of great talent and skill, it just doesn't come together as well as it could. Yeah, did you search Wikipedia for a whole two minutes for that one, guys? What is meant by that is that Novum Initium is a pure representation of what this band is about, distilled to the point of all but eliminating a the peripheral moving parts that gave the first two albums their uniquely progressive niche and also toning down a lot of the rocking elements paved the way for the more AOR oriented character of power metal that came into prominence in the mid s, getting the jump on Edguy and several others by a year or two in the process.
Since Time To Be King Masterplan have had another line-up change which seems to be a custom between albums now for these guys. Hidden comments will still appear to the user and to the user's Facebook friends.

They are back in business and hopefully the line-up will stay. Although I've listened to this disc well over a dozen times, the majority of the songs never really strike me hard, even if most include some individual luster and neat patterns. Pray on my soul. And Grapow's guitar soli show that he still knows how to do it. Originally written for http: All in all there is no filler on the whole album.
EmpyrealAugust 1st, Rick Altzi would fill the vocal throne a few months later, stopping with the murmur that was created. First they got the Latin album title, got to have that. It's very important for me to show that we still have the power and the ability to write beautiful melodies and some aggression and rock and metal songs. One thing is for certain, this release is way better than Lande's uninspired and final effort with Masterplan, so even if some of my words above seem somewhat patronizing, Novum Initium is still a fairly good release.
Injtium is going down.
Novum Initium - Wikipedia
Originally written for www. The album rounds off with the bombastic title track "Novum initial". This is a band whose identity is formed around one ideology, which is to not have an ideology.
On football language it's normal to say "winning team, no changes".
