As a whole, these tunes sound boring. There are 2-3 tunes that sound good, Underworld, Fairy tales of victory and I give as good as I get.
But seems that we'll have U.D.O.:s maybe weakest album of all time...

that sounds like a good idea!! one of you guys will have to set it up and run it though because i don't have time to do it. but i know that's a fun game. we can do that here too. U.D.O. even has more songs to pick from.

I finally listened to the samples on Amazon. I'm probably in the minority here, but my first impression is that the samples overall were a lot better than I thought they would be. Of course, that's probably because my expectations really could not have been any lower.
You can only really tell so much from 30 second samples. Putting aside the over-processed guitars and computer drums, which seem to be a given at this point, my initial take is that there are potentially a few gems there ("I Give As Good As I Get" sticks out the most). However, there are also a few songs that seem interchangeable between each other and several of the faster tempo songs from the last 4-5 U.D.O. albums (the title track and "Motor-Borg" in particular).
So basically, it looks like this album will fit in nicely as a clone of "Dominator".

It seems to me that they are on the road of making clone albums nowadays. As I said before there were three songs that seems good to my taste. BOTN + those three songs is more than would be the result with Udo in Accept. Situation would be poor without Accept.

I should clarify by saying that after listening to the samples, I'm not saying I like the album. Far from it in fact at this point, although like I said, you can only get so much from 30 second snippets. I am saying that the snippets were better to my ears than my incredibly low expectations were going into it. I have not decided yet as to whether or not I'm going to buy the album. I'm 50-50 at best at this point.

Well, I can say that I'm not buying it. When Dominator-snippets came out, I liked them at first listening. RR snippets sound so boring... I hope U.D.O. will make at least one great album in the future. Until then, there are many things that have to be repaired. With Dominator, I could take sounds and drum machine because compositions were quite good, at least compared with these new snippets. Blood of the nations wipes this stuff out 1000-0.

Blood of the nations wipes this stuff out 1000-0. that is 100% correct. BOTN makes the RR album sound like a 4 track cassette recording of a jr. high school garage band.
