| What are your thoughts on this album?
I have read one average review on Metal Archives, and i'm hesitating to buy the album.

| If you like the last 3 or 4 albums you will like this one too. If you buy it, buy it with the dvd. Its a live DVD with many famous guys on stage with the band at WACKEN, very cool show. |

| The reviewers over at Metal Archives owns the truth, so if you read one bad review ther you should not touch this album......  |

| This is another release I want badly. I'm a huge Rage fan and don't think they've put out a weak release yet. I'm sure this one won't disappoint either. |

| I like Carved In Stone a lot, somehow Strings hasn't grabbed me much. |

| Fantastic CD! I'm really digging it. Vexer6 hooked me up with a copy and I've been listening to it all day. Played it through once and then started it all over again. _________________ ULTIMATUM - TOO METAL FOR WIKIPEDIA!

| I like it a lot! It's been a regular listen since I got it a few months ago, I'm not too familiar with earlier material from Rage, but I think it's great. |

| I waited a long time to buy this one and Carved in Stone, after reading so many bad reviews. But I got each a few months ago and thought both were very good. Kinda bummed I listened to so many dummies. _________________ "Happy people have no stories" —Therapy? Shock Totem | The Eyesore Times | Getcha Rocks Off   |

| I thought Strings was a strong album, following in the footsteps of Carved in Stone yet slightly heavier and even thrashier in parts. You can't go wrong with any Rage albums released in the last decade or so since Soundchaser.
Rage has a very rich recording history and it would take me some time to get through recommending some of their albums. I am fortunate to own all their releases, they were not easy to track down and was even scammed one time but I persevered until I tracked the originals.
Definitely check Soundchaser as that was the rebirth of sorts for Rage, it is modern Rage sounding heavier and faster than, at least the band's mid90s alter ego.

| I don't have all the early albums yet, but I don't think they've released a bad album out of what I do own. _________________ "Happy people have no stories" —Therapy? Shock Totem | The Eyesore Times | Getcha Rocks Off   |

| I still need Strings To A Web but I believe they haven't put out a bad release yet. I think their best is Secrets In A Weird World. I love that album! |

| I like Strings to a Web a lot. Catchy, heavy tunes and a great sounding record. It has a lot of different kinds of Rage songs. The Empty Hollow tracks in the middle are great. |
