Description/Reviews: 

"Shelter" is a not a version of the Rolling Stones classic ... , a rollicking opener nevertheless that immediately goes for a rhythmic jugular, get the juices boiling , and as such, a perfect appetizer. Bouncy, upbeat and confident, this will get one's toes tapping in a hurry, a haunting melody and a surging vocal to prove the point.
Things get somewhat more symphonic and grandiose with "Eye of the Wind", a Celtic-tinged masterpiece that features a grandiloquent yet surly axe solo that screeches boldly, right from the opening bars. Evocative commentary on contemporary issues as 'the mystery of life unfolds again', the modern delivery seeks to appeal and it does so convincingly amid 'the dark troubled times'. Call this CNN-prog, if you wanna!
The lengthiest track is the 7 minute 23 epic "Blood on Your Hands", a moody hymn that takes no shortcuts and introduces once more some towering guitar playing of the highest order. Colin's voice is spell-binding, deeply resonating, vivid and dignified. There is a strong Gabriel feel here that only adds to the glory. The song's dynamics are thrilling, aided by some precise backing vocals, creating an ebb and flow from serene to explosive that keeps the heart beating wildly. Lovely stuff, indeed.
