Demonic Resurrection // The Return to Darkness - It ain't bad. Actually some of the writing on here is really good, but the production choices make baby Jesus cry.
Blind Guardian: Cry for Tanelorn
More like "cry for Guardian", second song and the record seems BG's worst. Will post more comments later.
Did you read my review? There are growth points and great songs, but yeah, about half of it is bad.
I listened to BG's new album, and right now it's the utmost disappointment I've had in years. I guess it's hard to get into it, but it's normally not that difficult, something I see happens with this album. I only liked two songs, the last two. I'll listen to it again, hoping I will like it more.
@ Allfader, how many avatars have you had in the last month? Thirty?
Since you're a fan and had some hopes on the album, it'll grow on you to some extent. To be honest, power metal is totally hopeless IMO, excepting a couple of bands (Wuthering Heights and - maybe - Rhapsody of Fire).
About the avatar stuff...I dunno. I'm not sure about this one and probably I'll use the same old one once again and let it there.
np: Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue. I'm not really convinced about this album and Afro Samurai is not the guilty. There's nothing wrong with it but nothing SO memorable either (besides Check my Brain).
Theatre Of Tragedy - Fair And 'Guiling Copesmate Death
Now the same. I love this album so much.
The only album with ToT that I can listen to. "Áegis" was an overrated pile of crap IMO!
