I would call it reaching their full potential, but I bet they can get even better. Insomnium Winter's GateIQ The Road of BonesJethro Tull Thick as a BrickKamelot The Black HaloKing Crimson In the Court of the Crimson KingLabyrinth Return to Heaven Denied Pt. II: A Midnight AutumnThey came back after two garbage albums with a sequel to their classic sophmore album that defined them as one of the great power metal bands of the time. There's no way this should have worked, but it did and it ended up being even better than the original and their best album yet.

Yes RelayerThe fact that so early in it's career a band could write a third album with at least one 20+ minute epic is incredible. Considering they went for the same format as Close to the Edge track listing wise you knew this would be heavily compared with it and for good reason. It's not quite as good as Close to the Edge , but if we judged everything based on that comparison very few albums would ever get good ratings.Yes Tales from Topographic Oceans3.5 greatAnathema SerenadesAnderson Bruford Wakeman Howe Anderson Bruford Wakeman HoweAnubis Gate A Perfect ForeverArcane Chronicles of the Waking DreamAvantasia The Wicked SymphonyBetween the Buried and Me Between the Buried and MeBetween the Buried and Me AlaskaBetween the Buried and Me Automata IBig Big Train Common GroundCaligula's Horse Moments from Ephemeral CityCollective Soul YouthDark Moor The Hall of the Olden DreamsDark Moor Beyond the SeaDark Moor Ancestral RomanceDragonForce Inhuman RampageDream Theater AwakeDream Theater OctavariumEnslaved FrostEnslaved The Sleeping GodsEpica The Phantom AgonyEpica Requiem for the IndifferentEpica The Solace SystemEquilibrium Turis FratyrFalconer Chapters from a Vale ForlornFalconer ArmodFates Warning FWXFocus Ship of MemoriesGalneryus The Flag Of PunishmentGalneryus Phoenix RisingGalneryus Into the PurgatoryGenesis Wind & WutheringGenesis Invisible TouchHaken AquariusHaken Enter the 5th Dimension (Demo)Insomnium One for SorrowIQ Seven Stories into 98IQ Dark MatterLabyrinth LabyrinthLabyrinth Architecture of a GodLeprous Tall Poppy SyndromeLeprous AeoliaNektar Down to EarthNektar Magic is a ChildNektar Book of DaysOmnium Gatherum Grey HeavensPink Floyd The Endless RiverRedemption Long Night's Journey Into DayRhapsody of Fire Symphony of Enchanted Lands IIRoyal Hunt The MissionRoyal Hunt Eye WitnessRoyal Hunt Devil's DozenRush 2112Rush CounterpartsSerenity War of AgesSerenity Codex AtlanticusSonata Arctica SilenceSonata Arctica The Ninth HourSpock's Beard OctaneSpock's Beard The Oblivion ParticleStratovarius Elements, Pt. 1Stratovarius DestinyStratovarius Twilight TimeSuspyre When Time FadesTeramaze I WonderThank You Scientist The Perils of Time TravelThreshold Critical MassTwilight Force Heroes of Mighty MagicTyr RagnarokTyr ValkyrjaVan der Graaf Generator PresentVanden Plas Chronicles of the Immortals: Netherworld (Path 1)Virgin Steele Visions Of EdenVirgin Steele Noble SavageVirgin Steele Life Among the RuinsYes DramaYes KeystudioYes Fly from HereFly From Here is undoubtably a mixed bag, the title track/epic is phenomenal featuring some great parts and one of their catchiest melodies.

This sucks, this is easily the least inspired album this band has ever released. I hear no passion only the death cry of the tortured Tony Kakko begging for release from his own personal hell. Man he must really miss Jani, I know I do. Okay there's like three decent songs on it, Message from the Sun, Demon's Cage, Ismo's Got Good Reactors. That's it.
