I must write this review in a hurry because I've listened this album twice now, and I'm listening to it a third time while I'm writing this, finishing the review means that I can finally hit the STOP button and finish this torture I've been exposed, so I must hurry writing this, besides that, is 12:32 pm and I want to catch a movie on T.V.

Arrest? quite boring and below average Heavy Metal from Germany, with that information many of my readers will click on the "back" button of the explorer window, lucky you, but those who are interested in another German Heavy Metal band, keep reading, damn, 12:34

I saw the discography of the band, and this is their third album, and the first one with a decent cover art, although the inside booklet layout is very poor, what's the deal with the band pictures? Two old farts and one guy using shades and all are like "we're so cool, we rule", yeah sure gramps.

After a short intro, (and very unnecessary) "Same Old Story" begins its rampage of Heavy Metal with the war shout, ROCK ROCK ROCK! How original, let me put it this way, the song title describes the whole album: same old story. Damn, 12:38 now, I must put some popcorn on the microwave.

As the album carries on, it becomes unbearable, the choruses and musical arrangements are so simple and typical that for a moment there I thought my grandmother could do it better, and that's not it! They claim to be "True Power Metal from Germany" but I don't really see any Power Metal in here, only some Hard Rock with Heavy Metal influences, these guys must read wrong the genre definitions?I don't have anything to drink to watch my movie!

Ballads, "Desperate Memories" a ballad with a dark tone to it, but with lyrics cheesy as hell, as a matter of fact, they shouldn't have included lyrics in their booklet because their writing skills are way too literal and corny. 12:45, time for the final statement and off to my bed to watch the movie!

Arrest is a band that tries to makes us believe that they're doing good Metal, and that's false, they're taking elements from a lot of bands, copying them, and using them wrong, and they should be arrested for that.

And now if you excuse me, I'm going to go and watch my movie, and forget that I ever listened or reviewed this Cd, if anyone ever comes to my home for some drinks, you can imagine what I'm going to use as a glass coaster. 12:54 p.m.
