Blind Guardian best album

[sevag00]

Hey, im new to this forum, but not to metal genre, im listening to metal for about 10 years, when i was 13 years old. So i wanna ask about blind guardian, which album is the best one. I got "Somewhere Far Beyond" album, i think it was great, and i want to have your opinion about this album.

What about Nightfall in Middle Earth? It has some bad songs, but then it has some of my favorite songs of all time like Curse of Feanor, or Mirror Mirror?

I'd rank Somewhere Far Beyond as their best. It's a good balance between their older speedy stuff and their overblown operas.

Imaginations From The Otherside is so easily their best.

There are 5 albums that are really good (in chronological order):
Tales from the Twilight World (started their unique style)
Somewhere far beyond (more elaboration in the epic style, still not cheesy. Some bad songs, some great)
Imaginations from the Other Side (really epic, but also very aggressive at least for power metal)
Nightfall in Middle Earth (not as aggressive as IFTOS. Great hymns. Called cheesy by some. Definitely not cheesy in a Rhapsody way)

I recommend you go on either with Nightfall or Imaginations, according to your taste concerning agression and cheese.

I know I'm going to sound like the typical metalhead here, but I'm enjoying the Lucifer's Heritage demos the most at the moment.

Newer the better.

Imaginations From the Other Side is the best power metal album of all time.

 

[Mort Divine]

No, it really isn't.

Elvenking - Heathenreel is, followed by Grave Digger - Rheingold, THEN IMFTOS

I'm a 'Nightfall' man myself - Noldor, Nightfall, The Curse of Feanor, Mirror Mirror, Time Stands Still are all great tracks.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

No, it really isn't.

Elvenking - Heathenreel is, followed by Grave Digger - Rheingold, THEN IMFTOS

no, you're wrong.

see how stupid that sounds. :Smug:

Imaginations gets my vote too. Just one of those records that flows incredibly well from start to finish.

 

[Weizenkeim]

The three most recent ones are nothing short of perfect.
"Imaginations" is the most agressive and least cheesy of the three; "Nightfall" is much more complex and very well-rounded as a concept record; "A Night at the Opera", their most recent one, while being the softest and least dark of the three and suffering from a somewhat crappy production, has far superior songwriting.
Essentially, your choice is between the best 90s power metal record of all time, the ultimate fantasy concept album and the zenith of symphonic metal songwriting.
Did I mention I like this band?

 

[swizzlenuts]

Imaginations for me.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Imaginations From The Otherside is so easily their best.

thread should have been over right there, with the 3rd post.
