[QUOTE=Cocaine;15974393]It would be a better time if they still had straight-Alexi Laiho on guitar.[/QUOTE]

is the new guy even good? wtf happen to Jani?

I think he got called back to mandatory military duty or had something happen to him because he skived off mandatory military duty.

masscows, what Blind Guardian albums do you have now?

Nightfall in Middle-Earth

That's it. I'm barely into power metal at all.

Get Imaginations From the Otherside and Somewhere Far Beyond if you want to check out more. Though, don't expect another Nightfall in Middle-earth.

As far as sheer quality goes or with all the extra stuff Nightfall... had? The interlude tracks got annoying to me after a while, I deleted them. They were cool the first few times around though.

Aside from the instrumentals of course, which kick ***.

You can definitely expect quality, it's just different.

And neither of the albums have interludes like on NIME.

I'll go listen to one of them on last.fm radio. Just remembered you can do that now :thumb:

Get A Night At The Opera. EARSECKS.

How does last.fm radio work now btw? All I'm getting is 30 second samples still...ugh.

Asides from A Flame to the Ground Beneath by Lost Horizon, this is the best Power Metal album.

Sonata Arctica are starting to grow on me

I was going to ask which one of them I sould take. Next album Im gonna listen to is this one.

[QUOTE=masscows;15977462]How does last.fm radio work now btw? All I'm getting is 30 second samples still...ugh.[/QUOTE]

Use the last.fm official software. You'll get full tracks that way.

I don't think Blind Guardian even has full tracks up anyways. It would say "full track" next to the song name.

I've heard full tracks of them on last.fm I believe. 'full track' means you can hear the whole thing in the flash player on the website

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future;15977444]Get A Night At The Opera. EARSECKS.[/QUOTE]

No way. That's their worst album.

Are you kidding, Lee? It's by far their best...the whole album has this spin that not many other power metal albums have. It's heavily orchestrated, but it's not overtly bombastic like Rhapsody is. They still kept their roots heavily in more heavier metal styles.

That's the problem

I don't see how that's the problem.

Anyway, it's a good album, but not their best for me.

A Night At The Opera>rest of BG's discography.

IDK It's by far my least favorite BG.

I'd say it's just as bombastic as Rhapsody ever is but in a different way. The production values in that album can be a bit oppressive and annoying at times though.

The production's better than on NIME though. At least you can hear the guitars...

A Night Listening to the Gay Album Opera
