Review by Sanjuro

Outstanding Power stands on solid foundation on the band's familiar power and heavy metal style songs while adding new experiments on a couple of songs. Even though the album has its share of fast songs as expected it also has more mid tempo songs and even a ballad. "Silence the Void" is a good example of a traditional Lovebites power metal song, wheras "Reaper's Lullaby" is much more aggressive and has clear influence from melodic death metal in its use of tremolo picking. "Wheels on Fire" is more light hearted mid tempo rock song, inspired by Thin Lizzy. I recommend the version, which comes with a bonus DVD or Blu-ray. It contains dynamically shot and well edited full concert.

This live dvd has performances based on Amuro's two first albums, Dance Tracks Vol. 1 and Sweet 19 Blues and also features Super Monkeys AKA Max, whose member Amuro used to be. The concert is fairly comprehensive and energetic document of Amuro's early repertoir.

Dark and slow Kasou and sweet and energetic Honey are the high points of the album for me but rest of the album is also very good. Recommended for fans of the band and also for fans of emotional and melodic rock music in general.
