2009-11-05 The first reviews for "Radical Peace"
ROCK IT (GER)
„… The 18-minute epic „The Oswald File“ lets shivers run down your spine, every time you listen to it. This song doesn´t need to hide behind classic like IRON MAIDENs „Rime Of The Ancient Mariner“ and is a classic already itself! Overall „Radical Peace“ is a hot candidate fort he heavy metal album of the year“

MELODIC ROCK FANZINE
“Melody and power unite in the new Mob Rules album „Radical Peace“. The band was always a warrant for quality but their new piece of work easily tops everything they have done in the past. It starts with the gutsy “Children Of The Flames” a stomping killer song with a doomy guitar outro. Followed by “Trial By Fire”, a faster track with a strong guitar solo part. The first single “Astral Hand” comes up with great hyper melodic chorus and some nicely added, slighty progressive elements. Every song on the album is a winner, but the “heart” of “Radical Peace” is undoubtedly the 18-minute track “The Oswald File” that is split into 6 parts, but overall it´s just one big epic track. A song like this hasn´t been heard in years, comparisons to other bands nearly completely fail. Just imagine a masterly executed rollercoaster journey through the finest territories of Melodic Metal, with elements reminiscent to bands like Queensryche (Operation: Mindcrime I), Savatage and Avantasia. Mob Rules have developed and improved in every way. This album is a must!”
