"Night of the Blade" is screaming metallic glory the way it was done before it was ruined. What a chorus and what an awesome band. "Lovestruck" has probably the coolest riff I have ever heard. It rocks, but with some heavy, heavy attitude. So to all these faggy glam bands (Poison, Motley Crue), Tokyo Blade proves that you can rock about love and still be heavy. God, what an awesome song. Samurai is good and reminds me of Thundersteel-era Riot. The Dead of the Night is probably one of the best songs ever written in the history of man. OH MY FUCKING GOD. It starts off with some laid back NWOBHM bluesy stuff, but then they rock you so hard that you fall off whatever godforsaken platform you're resting on. The lead in this song is the reason metal rules any other form of music. The energy, the skill...hell, the whole fucking cool attitude they have makes me smile 'til my face cracks. My god what a glorious bunch of fuckers these guys are.
