They have better albums that this. But I love their style and their music so i gave 4.

4.0 excellentBedex | May 4th 24

Now from the get go, I have to give this album immense credit for making me actually enjoy a genre I normally can hardly tolerate. Sure I was in the right mood for it, but I scrolled through many other artists and this album clearly stood out. It is unashamedly cheesy and corny (I mean, just look at the art), but it doesn't forget to pay attention to its craft under all the cheese. The instrumentation is varied, the vocals are solid and do not fall into silly territory, and the vibes are mostly epic in line with the artwork rather than overly self righteous. Now the album does fall off in the second half. 6 kind of lost me on a run that was previously pretty spotless, and it doesn't really pick up until 9, whilst 10 has some great passages but takes a good 4 minutes before starting outright on a really nice section that is illustrative of how the band is successful at mixing non guitar instrumentation into their sound. Convinced me to check their other records. Again I am probably inflating the rating due to sheer shock of liking this 3.9

emerald and wisdom are amazing but then it dips for no good reason, they try to be bach, and otherwise inane instrums and bleh music

I love this album. And this may be one of the rare power metal albums where I like all the tracks especially Emerald Sword, The Dark Tower of Abyss and Riding the Wings of Destiny.

5.0 classic05McDonaldT | September 25th 17

Barring the terrible narration on Heroes of the Lost Valley and The Dark Tower of Abyss, Symphony of Enchanted Lands is arguably the best Power Metal album of the 90s and certainly Rhapsody's best.

2.5 averageDragonforce89 | October 18th 08

I like it but the old Rhapsody is poor for me. They is good now.
Emerald Sword its a excellent song though and The Wisdom Of The Kings.
