Royal Hunt - Moving Target (1995)

Royal Hunt's third album, and the first with excellent vocalist D.C. Cooper (really, it would be hard to find a better voice in metal), is an outstanding piece of hard rock; melodious and catchy, with a beautiful symphonic sound augmented by main man Andre Andersen's keyboards. Such songs as the opening "Last Goodbye" (not sure why The Lord's Prayer is included at the end, but it's a nice touch), "Makin' A Mess", "Step By Step" and the closing "Time" are highlights, but it's the overall grace that exudes the record that makes it so enjoyable, and reflects a very talented group.
