This album is objectively excellent, but I tend to prefer their more speed metal sound found on Somewhere Far Beyond to the more midpaced bigger/bombastic later material. And Then There Was Silence is a masterpiece though.

The new album art is so stale. Their covers have been getting worse with every release starting with this one. Can't wait nonetheless.

These guys, Lost Horizon, some Angra and Kamelot are the only power metal bands I can tolerate nowadays.

Solid, if loud stuff. Not sure I get all the love for the closer though

It’s taken me about a decade to finally get into this album. Talk about slow burn.

Some great songs on here. My favorites are Under The Ice, Sadly Sings, and of course, the closer.

Yeah, my favorites are Under the Ice, Sadly Sings, Minstrel, and Soulfourged. Still can't get into that last track tbh. Idk, maybe I need to listen in reverse order. It's an extremely bombastic album, and I get tired by the end.

Nightfall is probably my favorite, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of their stuff really. One of the best (if not at least consistent) discographies in power metal.

They should've ended their career with And then there was silence

For sure. And this album is at least in the top five power metal albums for me... so excessive and ridiculous, but that's what makes it such a charming and fun record

Most power metal bands would kill to have a discography as critically acclaimed and consistent as Blind Guardian's. While contemporaries like Helloween or Gamma Ray would have a few hiccups in their careers, Blind Guardian both started out strong and are still going strong to this day, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
