"I like it, but I am a Doro homer. I had the Let it Rain On Me EP first, and the Breaking the Law version is better on it than this one. I Rule the Ruins is the same, as is Let Love Rain on Me. All We Are was merely adequate, but she nailed Tausend Mal Gelebt. I would have rather heard her do Beyond The Trees over She's Like Thunder, and maybe could have used one less ballad and had one more rocker. Sound is very good, but my disc had 4 or 5 songs that start, go for a fraction of a second, then start again. A slight annoyance I will have to edit. I would also like to hear her cover "Gravedigger" by Dave Matthews band with the Classic Night Orchestra. Still 5 stars, and you may as well get the Love Rain On Me EP too."

Doro Rules!

"This cd is excellent! After being in the business over 20 years Doro is still the most original metal artist! Her version of Breaking The Law is brilliant!!"

Takes more than a listen to like this

"When I popped this in, I wasn't sure of what to expect. I was a little disappointed with some of the songs that she chose to have on this CD after I heard them. I Rule The Ruins would be better if it was slowed down a bit more. Metal Tango files under the same as I Rule The Ruins. Breaking The Law is good, would be better without UDO singing on this version. All We Are should never have been placed on here. Fur Immer I like this one better. Let Love Rain On Me is also good. Burn It Up shouldn't have been on here. Tausend Mal Gelebt is good. I'm In Love With You is good. Always Live To Win here again she's trying to rock with the orchestra and that doesn't doesn't work. Undying isn't the same as the original, but I like this version. Love Me In Black, I don't think that any other than the original would give this song justice, but bravo for trying, I do like it, but the original is better. She's Like Thunder, this version just isn't for me. I gave it a low score for the reason that the orchestra didn't shine has hard as it could have. This reminds me of the other bands that released themselves with orchestras. This isn't anything original, just the arrangements have been changed a bit and thats it. I bought this cause I love Doro and I wanted to hear her with an orchestra. I'm still a fan, still will buy her CD's, just will wait till I find her with an orchestra in a used bin somewhere before I buy it."
