Review

Mad Hatter’s debut album is not as schizophrenic or ... well, mad as its Lewis Carroll counterpart but, unlike the Alice in Wonderland character, doesn’t quite leave its mark as a memorable piece of art. The tempo adopted for much of the album’s length allied with Petter Hjerpe’s unoriginal Sammet-esque vocals are downsides to the experience; songs like "Fly Away" and "Face the Truth", for instance, scream with a heavy Edguy influence and don’t bring anything we could define as worthwhile to the table, but good pieces like "Phantom Riders" – which has a cool chorus reminiscent of Orden Ogan – and the decent closers "Bring Me the Moon" and "Mad Hatter Become" are enough to turn things around and make the effort a good one. Fans of Edguy, Avantasia and ReinXeed will enjoy this.
