New Blind Guardian. FFFFFFFUUUUUU...

Everytime someone bumps this thread I think that the album has finaly arrived. Nice video, thanks for posting.

Are these guys on a crusade against samplers? Germans really don´t shy away from hard work. The girls even dress all up for the microphones :D
 
seems like a have to listen to them again, they were one of the first metal bands I listened to
I was like 7 years old, and the piano, flute and violin stuff was recorded 200 meters away from
this room I am sitting in right now :d
 
So it's out now. Thoughts?

I must admit that the new BG left me slightly underwhelmed. It just felt thrown together. ATITM I could only take in small does, but ANATO was and still it totally kick ass for me.

Maybe I need more time with the new one, but I think I will always feel that we were ripped off by it. I think it's the first time BG have so obviously taken a road already travelled, but lost the passion and attention to detail somewhere along the line.

I think it is KILLER. The best album since Imaginations From The Other Side. I liked all the songs. Reminds me the reason why I can´t stand 99% of power metal bands, but Blind Guardian is one of my favourite bands ever. It´s amazing how above the "competition" they are.

Blind Guardian is probably the only band that I don´t care abouth song lenght. 9 minutes song? Make it 30, as long it is as good as Sacred Worlds! How epic is that chorus!? I can´t wait to see them live again.

Damn, I would give my ass to Bob Sapp to sing like Hansi.
