---------------------------------------------------------------

Word has it that "My Love, My Life, My Flame" is the exact same song as on Michael's solo album "Touched" released in 2007.
To me it doesn't make any sense at all sticking that song (a solo song) on a STRYPER album - sorry.
This was a awesome opportunity for them (Stryper/Michael) to put a neat bonus (unreleased or re-recored) song on the import to boost sales.
The MBP album does not need another soft ballad, it could have used a rock tune, com'on.
This just give fuel to the fire that this is a Michael Sweet solo album with guest guitarist Oz Fox.

BTW Michael has also stated over and over that his solo music has always had a different sound then Stryper and that he approaches his solo work differently then Stryper projects.
STRYPER is STRYPER and Michael Sweet solo work is Michael Sweet solo work the two should not be slapped together. Why not just throw on a Robert, Oz or Tracy solo song as well?

I'm glad that, for once, the bonus track is not something I feel the need to search down. I also feel glad that the USA gets the first release. It seems that nowadays, most metal albums release everywhere else in the world months before the USA. At least with this one, we finally get it first!

One other thing you can bet and be glad for is that over here in Europe we will have to pay through the nose when the album comes out compared to US folk. So you'll have an idea, the average price for a new Metal album over here in Portugal is €18 (that's $25).
