Velvet Creation said:I bought the latest Rhapsody album just for curiosity's sake ( I don't really listen to Power metal that much) and I think It fucking sucks! There is near 60% of epic, speeches, ambience parts and about only 40% of metal parts. It's not badly played, it is actualy very well done, but it's just boring.

The best Power Metal I heard recently is for sure Sonata Arctica and also a 1998 album from Labyrinth, called Return To Heaven Denied, which is a great album. Fast, non-gayish vocals and superb musicianship.
Sorry for going a bit off-topic though.
Wings of a dream said:What? You totally missed the whole point! that's the essences of the album, to create background which a lot of albums lack of. It's like a story they tell you almost.
Jean-Pierre said:I agree. That album is also quite unique and progressive in some parts, Labyrinth is the only band out of that Italian "flower metal" ilk that's worth a damn. Well, in 1998 they were at least.
