I think this album has more memorable songs than the first. I still feel the vocalist sounds like a heavy metal version of Bon Jovi at times.

Lame review, this album is fucking awesome! at least 95/100 so far probably an album of the year for me. And the vocals on this album are excellent.

c'mon ! you cannot be serious ? this a great band ? :shock:

I heard it all before and better... plus the singer is just as anoying as a pm singer can possibly be...

their self titled was boring, this one is just wrong ! no serious record company should release such utter shite :evil:

I think most of you have totally lost track of what makes heavy metal good... you just need your average safe little sound... that's just pathetic :?

To me this album is better or at least matches any Mercyful Fate or King Diamond album. This is a serious masterpiece with 12 excellent songs that don't sound like one another, there is a really nice variation especially in vocals where you got mid range, falsetto and occasional death metal growls. The lyrics are very good and it is neither happy nor cheesy.

Dude, or better yet, both at the same time with two pairs of headphones, or Winamp and Foobar!

whatever you guys say... :roll: it's no surprise younger generations are turning either to black metal or metalcore as heavy & power metal just keep writing the same pages over & over again... :?

if you like it, good for you... imo it's just a pile of crap in a pretty package :twisted:

lizardtail · **Posted:** Mon Jul 18, 2005 11:56 pm

Haha, I mostly agree with you.. I enjoy Blind Guardian and Angra but power in general doesn't seem to evolve as much as other genres.

In my opinion you are a pile of crap, and I bet you don't own either of the albums and just listened to some samples. Either way I wipe my ass with your worthless opinions.

well, BG is imo a bit overrated.. they're like a one-eyed man leading his herd of blind friends... :twisted:

I do really enjoy Angra though... have you heard the new Shaaman yet ? their first was a bit too cheesy for my taste :?

I downloaded a promo copy and span through it, it was good fun but not exactly spectacular..

As for BG I think they're relatively popular for the right reasons; good songwriting and a great lead voice.. although Majesty pisses me off.

Did you enjoy the new Shaaman?

I honestly thought this band was going to be great. But sadly even the guitarists from Mercyful Fate can run out of ideas and go the way ward side.

you asked for it yourself, nobody was asking for your worthless opinion here. Funny how you think Force of Evil singer is annoying, yet you like Angra and Rhapsody, talk about boring singers :roll:

both, they have typical voices, nothing special, not a very big range, nothing unique. Mostly they hide behind nice music and choruses. Force of Evil singer got nice range and uniqueness.

I really like when singers have unique voice/style. I rarely enjoy bands that have simple vocals--that is why I like bands like Grave Digger, Falconer, Savatage, Tad Morose, Jag Panzer, Human Fortress, Virgin Steele, Motorhead, Megadeth, Tarot, Dio, etc.
