98? Get outta here.

This one's a lot of fun. Cheesy power metal at its cheesiest. You've got to be prepared for this kind of feast...
98 is a tad exagerated. a 80/85 for me, definitely not everyday music.

Some solid power metal here :dio:

Yeah.

Band always makes me happy and laughing but never really sure if it's with or at them and don't really care.

One of their best played it heaps over the years, I've been listening to their new one which has some good tracks.

I'm on a big Power Metal kick right now, so I gotta get into these guys. All I've heard from them is mega-cheese, and it's kinda irresistible.

This is Rhapsody's finest hour, I think you're gonna like it. Glorious music :dio:

The Dark Tower of Abyss is EPIC! but I love every song in this album.

Ah the cheese. I agree with Stefan, not everyday music. But when you are in the mood for it... this is a fantastic album.

This album belongs to the cheese thread.

Agreed. But when you're not, it's nauseously bad.

My favorite metal genres are black, death, and doom and I don't typically listen to power metal. I tend to find a lot of Power Metal cheesy and I never actually sit down and listen to it. The artwork is pretty cool for a lot of it and I get more details on and I'm like "aw man cheesy power metal". Not to say that I don't listen to any power metal! I do enjoy stuff like Helloween, Gamma Ray, Iced Earth, and what not. I decided to just try this out after seeing this review. I had heard snippets of this band before and always thought they sounded overblown. So I actually turned it on and listened to it in full and :dio:

I must say, this is fantastic! I didn't find it overly cheesy or anything and it might just be my gateway into getting more into the one genre in metal that I tend to overlook the most. The instrumental songs are great as interludes between songs and really set the mood. Really great stuff right here.

Well, that's good news. Although, I'm not sure how this doesn't sound cheesy. Either way pmetal is :dio:

Oh my. These guys are only good for laughs and haven't released anything listenable in years. I highly, highly doubt this is anywhere near a 98. None of their material is.

Goat · **Posted:** Fri Jul 08, 2011 6:32 pm

I enjoy their later stuff, don't think I've ever heard this.

The Evil Dead · **Posted:** Thu Jul 14, 2011 3:29 pm

Alright I understand the 98, this guy gave the self titled Whitesnake album a classic rating. Explains everything.

I would give it a 68/100. It's a good listen.
