The durchschittlichen reviews the predecessor I can not agree. Mind the hype about the monotonous "Invincible" eh never (max. 3 stars). "Archangel" is an improvement by a mile! With 26 tracks one would indeed can still save especially in the middle of the album a bit, but the pearls can be found one way or another:
1. Mercy in Darkness (great intro) 2. Archangel 3. Nero 4. Strength of one thousend 5. Dragon Rider 6. Caradhras 7. Whats happenig to me 8. Friendship to last
These tracks are so incredibly diverse, exciting and staged dramatic! Worth every penny :-)
