THOUGHTS: Wow, not very much is there?  So much for people releasing albums around this time in hopes of becoming Holiday gifts.
The pick of the week is easy - Primal Fear.  What a set of pipes on Ralf Scheepers!  Hot damn!  When I first heard about Primal Fear, it was around the time that Ripper Owens was chosen as the replacement for Halford in Judas Priest.  Well, apparently it was a very close toss up between Scheepers and Owens, and that's when I decided to check him out.  Scheepers was once in a Priest cover band, and also sang for Gamma Ray (nerd fest) in the early 90s.  Primal Fear is his main project, and it's also his best.  Check the album and the band out.  On a sidenote- vocally he is even better live than on the album.
