"I think it is clear that Kai Hansen was going for a Keepers III with Heading for Tomorrow. The setup is basically the same; open with a short classically inspired instrumental, leading into a searing double bass piece, and conclude with an epic 13 minute track with plenty of guitar wizardry. While Hansen penned some really great songs here, there is some filler. 'Hold your ground' and 'Space Eater' are low points. Here is a rundown... 1. Welcome 4/5 Just an instrumental - but a good one
2. Lust For Life 5/5 Great song
3. Heaven Can Wait 5/5 Inspirational! My favorite
4. Space Eater 3/5 Good solo
5. Money 3/5 Sort of annoying lyrics - sorta catchy though
6. The Silence 3/5 Typical ballad... pretty dull
7. Hold Your Ground 2/5 Only song not written by Hansen
8. Free Time 4/5 Grew on me... sounds like 80s hair metal
9. Heading For Tomorrow 4/5 Good, but drags on in places
10.Look At Yourself 5/5 great closer!! Second favorite songOverall a very good CD, and well worth the price. If you love heavy metal, there is no excuse not to own 'Heading for Tomorrow.'"

EXCELLENT !!!!!!
