User Album Review
The Sixth Dimension contains all the traditional Power Quest tropes one would hope for: the catchy choruses, the female vocalist guest spot, the ’80s stadium rock synth timbre, the token love song (“Pray For The Day”), and of course, the lengthy closing title-track. Despite never reaching the frantic velocity the Brits are capable of, this nine-minute sprawler is equally mysterious and dramatic thanks to both its theatrical chorus and haunting piano that fades into audible mist. The high-speed Euro-power anthems exist in the shape of “Coming Home” and the almost comically generic “Kings & Glory”. The former is a sequel to 2003’s “Sacred Land” containing similarly jaunty melodies and references to older PQ tunes. The latter is a vibrant and animated power metal hymn absolutely begging to be played live!
The Sixth Dimension is simply an amazing slab of British power metal that begs to be heard by any fan of the genre. The magic never really died, and the Quest must indeed go on!
