Genre: Power Metal
Familiarity: Niente (zero)

Disliked: “Welcome to My World”, duh
Hated

Review: I quite liked this, though to be fair there’s nothing terribly special about it, nothing that marks it out from any other power (is it power? I don’t think it is, not really) metal band. It’s competent and some of the songs are catchy, and none are terrible, but would I listen to more, that’s the question.

Rating: A-

Review: When, after four or five spins, the only songs you can remember on an instrumental prog album are cover versions, you’re in trouble. I tried, I really did, but this just made no impression on me.

I listened to Cargo's album but apart from the opening track, rest seemed trite hard rock to me. It also reminded me there was another band called Cargo that released a better album in the 70s, I think.
