Does someone elese find LH's Awakening The World a better record than A Flame To The Ground Beneath? The general consensus seems to be that the latter is the better, while I think ATW is one of the best European power metal albums ever.
Has anyone heard the new Fairyland album? How is it?
Excellent despite the solo-project nature of it (Philippe is the only member left; fortunately he always wrote all their music basically). Marco Sandron (of Pathosray, whose new album is also very good) is their best vocalist yet (Elisa was great too, of course) and it just flows really well and is full of catchy and powerful songs. Get it.
edit: It's probably my power metal album of the year, btw.
Power Metal is Basically Dead now, but That new Stratovarius album is awesome. Best Since Infinite and Better.
