| Great record. The opening of the CD on Wings of a Dream catch you right away. Great vocals, good guitars, very fast riffing (ala Iron Maiden). A lot of neo-classical stuff. Best songs include Wings of a Dream, Kamikaze and Mad Man.

| A must have. This is a good record. I like Wings of A Dream, Turning Back, Remember Me and Mad Man. I really need to get this album again.

| Very few bands can say they released four killer albums in a row. Sacred Warrior can. These guys just didn't let up! Good move to replace keys with a second guitarist; same great songwriting with heavier feel. Rey Parra has some powerful pipes. Better production. Classic! Favorite tracks: Wings of Dream, Kamikaze.

| Great band, nice guys. I used to attend church with Tony and Rey now attend a sister church of Bruce's. I met them when I was fifteen and started playing the clubs here in Chicago. Great people,down to earth with a love for the Lord that still burns with a passion. In my opinion they were over looked as were Deliverance and should've seen greater commercial success. Their message was bold and their chops were tight. True credits to the all too tired world of CCM. God Bless, Will

| All of SWs CDs are good, but this CD topped them all. Just outstanding from start to finish. They really gained their own identity here and lost the similarities to Queensryche and Maiden that were apparent on their first two CDs and even a bit on Wicked Generation. Ray Parra sounds great here, and Swift and Johnson both annihilate! Excellent guitar work.

| A classic. The riffs, hooks, lyrics, drum work, and singing are all there. A complete package. 80's Prog Metal. I like how the word, obsessions, is repeated throughout the album. "Remember Me" is just a fantastic ballad. "Mad Man" is compelling. Though I understand the song, I'm still not sure what image "Kamikaze" was supposed to conjure. How are those types of people like kamikazes? Great album.

| To my ears, this album has a more melodic, "commercial" sound than Sacred Warrior's other albums. But don't take that to mean "lame" because "Obsessions" rocks, and packs a convicting, POWERFUL punch many albums lack. A truly fantastic release that has stood the test of time... A great one to pop in your player and listen to repeatedly. Brilliant...simply brilliant!!!

| This is my favorite Sacred Warrior cd (although none of the cd were bad). The production was over the top & the musicianship was perfect. If you like Iron Maiden or Queensryche, this cd is for you! Anything by Sacred Warrior is a classic masterpiece of Christian Metal music.

| Finally my Sacred Warrior collection is complete, even if the so called "reissue" CD that I bought turned out to be a cheap bootleg CD-R with poorly reproduced cover and inserts. Buyer beware of any CCM Metal discs released on the "ERMI Music" label... but at least I have these tunes on CD after many years and that's the most important thing isn't it? Editorial over, I think this is my favorite S.W. disc (although it might be tied with WICKED GENERATION), though you can't go wrong with any of'em

| Exelente disco, sonido similar al disco anterior, la composicion de las canciones es muy buena. Siempre manteniendo la influencia a Queensryche. Recomendado.
