I actually was surprised. My favorite Rhapsody albums are the first 3: Really melodic, semi-homosexual. I despised Symphony II as I felt like they just tried to hard with all of the choirs and such. This album is heavier like Power of the Dragonflame, but really does a good job of incorporating the epic choirs without taking away from the music. There are your regular Rhapsody songs which are fast, melodic, bombastic, but there are also some more interesting elements. You'll have to hear it for yourself. My favorite song would have to be the 16 minute long epic. Its a good one.
