It's fine. Mostly everything is decent. There
are some highs within songs but every track
suffers from severe repetition and
overproduction that causes the
instrumentation, which is the key to an album
like this even above most Metal albums, to
blend and sound like nothing. It's so bog
standard mostly but has enough issues that I
wish there was a "below average". The
production and repetition really do a
disservice to what would otherwise be mostly
uninspired but solid stuff. If they had
as much fun making this as they probably
expected to, I hope most people like it more
than I did.

The compositions aren't all that interesting for a purely symphonic album and it lacks the catchy
Guardian choruses so yeah...This easily their worst album to date
Bring back the metalz plz

The rating for this one is downright awful. With a little bit of imagination, this is pure magic.

You can get away with awkward interludes if the music is emotional enough to sell the atmosphere, as happened on Nightfall. There is nothing to back them up this time. The melodies are disastrously unevocative, the arrangements are uninspired, the vocals the least motivated they've ever sounded. It's hard to even feel anything when listening to this. The bottom line being, there's nothing that makes this album worth listening to except for the novelty, and even that's a sham: It's not a symphony. It's a symphonic metal album without the metal. - 3.0

A truly unique and magnificent album, made me look Blind Guardians' way, after a long long long
time. Consists of-glorious soundtrack-ish compositions,-the voice of epicness itself,-a sound so
pompous, it will make your ears grow flowers, -an atmosphere so vivid, you will never forget.
Album of the year.

Loads of terrible opinions on this so far from people who seem to have a pretty narrow view of what a band they like should produce. I will write a full review later.

You would think that Blind Guardian + an orchestra would lead to something more fulfilling.

I still very much enjoy this. The production is god-fuckin-awful. Should have gotten Sascha Paeth since he clearly knows how to produce an orchestra in a metal setting. The compositions however are strong, every track has a moment that strikes the listener, from the catchy as hell coda on In the Red Dwarf's Tower to the absolute disgustingly distorted explosion on In the Underworld (which works, even more with its broken production). Might miss the chugging a bit, but it works regardless.

I don't know why, but somehow I just find this album boring. I understand, that it's supposed to be an orchestral record, but I still miss the metal elements.

I kept waiting for something to blow me away, but it never happened. There isn't anything bad on here, but there isn't anything noteworthy either. It really does feel like a collection of tracks meant to be squeezed in between normal Blind Guardian songs.

By all accounts this should be a masterpiece but the compositions while certianly epic they are also not very memorable, and the production is borderline abysmal. Blind Guardian has enough sonwriting experience and professionalism to make this decent but what instead of the big bang they intended this album, it just comes of as a whimper.
