That's what I like to call the contents of ║ │ │║ this EP. The songs on here sound like they could ║ │ │║ easily fit into the album, but they are a bit ║ │ │║ weaker than the songs on there. Perfect b-side ║ │ │║ material, in other words. That's not saying much ║ │ │║ though, knowing how excellent the album is. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Logically, the first song is "Heaven Can Wait", ║ │ │║ now re-recorded with the new lineup featuring ║ │ │║ Uli Kusch on drums and Dirk SchlΣchter on guitar ║ │ │║ in addition to Kai. The song isn't much ║ │ │║ different from the original, but I definitely ║ │ │║ prefer the original. The vocals are the weakest ║ │ │║ spot. If you read my review of Heading For ║ │ │║ Tomorrow, you know how much I praised Ralf's ║ │ │║ vocals there. I just don't get the same feeling ║ │ │║ here. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ "Who Do You Think You Are?" is a catchy ║ │ │║ mid-tempo song that was also released as a singe ║ │ │║ before the album came out. Nothing special about ║ │ │║ this song. Probably the weakest on the EP. The ║ │ │║ ballad-like "Sail On" is a bit better, but it's ║ │ │║ nowhere near "The Silence". Not that you would ║ │ │║ expect that anyway. The chorus is pretty catchy ║ │ │║ and I really love the mid-part og the song. ║ │ │║ Excellent vocals by Scheepers there. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ No doubt "Mr. Outlaw" is the best song on here. ║ │ │║ It's really brilliant, with great verses and an ║ │ │║ excellent sing-along chorus. A perfect example ║ │ │║ of how good short and catchy songs can be. But ║ │ │║ the best part is definitely the solo-section. ║ │ │║ The first thing I thought when I first heard the ║ │ │║ first solo was "Dragonforce - Valley Of The ║ │ │║ Damned". It's very similar. The drums kick inn ║ │ │║ after some time and you get a shitload of speed ║ │ │║ and power thrown in your face. This is really a ║ │ │║ taste of future Gamma Ray. Brilliant song, that ║ │ │║ could as well have been on the album. Well, it ║ │ │║ is, as a Japanese bonus track, but that doesn't ║ │ │║ really count. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The last song is something completely different. ║ │ │║ It's a cowboy instrumental with a silly spoken ║ │ │║ intro. Pretty funny, though. As for the song, it ║ │ │║ lasts for almost four minutes, with not much ║ │ │║ variety, but it doesn't drag on either. It's a ║ │ │║ great song that suits it's name perfectly. The ║ │ │║ melody really gives a feeling of a lonesome ║ │ │║ cowboy riding through the prairie. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Overall this EP is pretty good, and I recommend ║ │ │║ it to anyone who loves Heading For Tomorrow and ║ │ │║ wants more of the same kind of material. ║ │ │║ However, this is not something you will come ║ │ │║ across in your local store. eBay is probably ║ │ │║ your only option, but don't hesitate if you ║ │ │║ should actually find it. Otherwise you can just ║ │ │║ buy the remastered versions of Heading For ║ │ │║ Tomorrow and Sigh No More, and you will get ║ │ │║ these songs as bonus tracks, except the ║ │ │║ re-recorded version of Heaven Can Wait. There is ║ │ │║ also a third option. I don't think Kai would ║ │ │║ mind if you downloaded these songs. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Heaven Can Wait [04:28] │ │ 02 - Who Do You Think You Are?
