Roulette – Another fantastic intro, with a winding guitar fading in, a shout of “One, two, three, four!” before a mammoth armour plated riff kicks in. This song is a different beast to Runaway, heavier, less galloping, and more about a slower hard rock groove. In this song, the bass is brought more to the forefront while the keyboard is downplayed a bit, acting as more of a companion to the alternately riffing, chiming and screeching guitars. The backing vocals are also given a more prominent spot here. Overall, the song feels like one of the more complete songs on the album, and probably would have made a good opening track.
