STARBREAKER’s debut-CD was a very strong Melodic Metal record and with once again TONY HARNELL (TNT) on vocals and guitarist MAGNUS KARLSSON (ALLEN/LANDE, PRIMAL FEAR) being the main songwriter, one can not go wrong here on the 2nd STARBREAKER release. Still, it takes a few more listens before making a good judgment and sadly I can not call this new album a masterpiece. Why? Well, simply said, the songs are not strong enough and have a strange aggressive vibe sometimes, although there are still enough strong melodies to enjoy. Yet the album has a real dark moody feeling and sometimes drifts away in the ‘so-so’ affair, meaning it will be hard to top all of 2008’s stronger releases in the ‘melodic’ genre. The titletrack “Love’s dying wish” is a very nice tune and also “End of alone”, “Hide” (now this is by far the best song, a beautiful haunting melody!) and “The day belongs to us” (also a strong song) are quite enjoyable tracks, but still it is not the album that holds up from start to finish. On the other hand, it is a thousand times better than the last TNT record and after repeated listens it really grows, but still I had expected a more sensational record…

(Points: 8.2 out of 10)
