Man and Machine

Musically, many of these songs have some great parts that really stand out. There are some really nice individual performances and good attention to detail in the writing. Little flourishes here and there that keep things interesting, but the focus is undeniably the unmistakable croak of Udo himself. An acquired taste to say the least, you either love him or hate him, but you can't ignore him. Believe me, I've tried… Look, the bottom line is if you like Udo, you will probably love this cd. The songs are well written and his band does a great job. The music is very similar to Accept and Priest, so if his voice doesn't bother you, it will probably be a very enjoyable disc for you. --Scott
