Honestly...I don't know what to say about this catastrophic album!TNT was one of the very important European metal bands in the mid 80's and 90's!It was one of the bands that made some serious waves in the hard rock and metal community ,because of 2 aces-first -one of the most amazing guitar players ever-the super guitarero RONNI LE TEKRO-a sensational guitar wizzard and second-TONY HARNELL -an American vocalist involved in some other successful projesct like WESTWORLD and STARBREAKER..a brilliant voice!TELL NO TALES was an amazing album that proved at it's time the tremendeous talent of this band-the instrumental track SAPHIRE is one hell of guitar demonstration wizardry-comparable to ERUPTION-VAN HALEN!INTUITION was a more commercial orientated album with an amazing production and some great and catchy compositions!!REALIZED FANTASIES was pretty good too ,but marked already the downing course of the band!After several uninspired album the big change in the band came-OUT TONY HARNELL and welcome an bord to TONY MILLS ex SHY -a very talented British vocalist-but without any spark of genius like HARNELL!This ATLANTIS album is a culmination of uninspired compositions and some of the most weak solos that LE TEKRO had made in his career!Unbelieveble weak album,none memorable song-a very bad diversity and overall an ensemble of mediocre compositions that risk to put a very big question mark regarding the future of this band!It seems MILLS was a loosing card-he really doesn't fit at all with TNT!!!I say all this words with disapointement and pain in my soul,because I was a huge fan of this band and I still cannot believe my ears how is it possible for a band with such a fantastic guitar player to edit such a weak album!Only the production is perfect...but that doesn't save a monument of boredom and lack of inspiration!Hardly 1.5 STARS!!!
