MICHAEL SWEET and his guys did it again! Another hard hitting album, because the days of „heavenly metal“ and bible throwing are definetely over. Opener “Blood From Above“ sets the pace for a very mature CD and really is heavy metal – high screams like from ROB HALFORD included. Don‘t take STRYPER too serious with “Make Love Great Again“ – this definitely hasn‘t anything to do with the Donald Trump speech but is catchy as hell. The hammering “Do Unto Others“ is another cracker as is “Middle Finger Messiah“. The best track for me comes in form of the the hard hitting “Divider“, on which Michael shared some impressive vocals with new cohort Perry Richardson (ex-FIREHOUSE). The compulsory ballad is blues-tinged and named “This I Pray“. Everybody should believe that is quite an amazing effort!
8/10
