too much bombast and unfortunately long while

Well, I find it a bit difficult here but what to say about the album.
However, who will expect a varied Heavy Metal Album disappointed.
Instead you get a terrific (orchestra) works ... almost an opera.
However, I think that it would have been better this album
to publish under the name Blind Guardian. Clear, BG has always been something
Special. It is also equally clear that a band always evolving.
But explicitly in this case I like the musical direction unfortunately
not more. I have the album now already tens of rotations in my
Given CD player and sorry to say ... it bores me. This whole
Slope towards the Progressive pushes me very bitter. Bombast without end.
The lyrics are indeed great, the whole story is very interesting and really great
drafted, but every song is really long, too long for my taste.
The choruses also do not stay, hang out. Where are the numbers more quickly,
BG once excelled. I hoped so, that since at least the album
would develop repeated listening to a Grower. But, none.
Man indeed waiting at BG always hold a new album because it possible
to be perfect. Here the wait, in my view, not
worth. The former speed kings bob only lame in front of him and indulge
the progressive delusion.
I just miss the simple, catchy songs ... which one otherwise always
are stuck in the same hearing. The unique melodies of yesteryear.
It need me now to come up with any "you but are also one of the
Everything was better Group ". I'm not saying that everything was better only
simple, catchy, straighter. Just pure heavy metal.
The older works just knew to entertain. The Mirror on the other hand, as already
said boring.
The question is where this is going and live. Can not imagine that the
Depart pack to the new songs really does. The mile-long texts can be
do eh no longer remember. Good thing BG still on pieces like the Bards Song
can draw ... but wait ... is indeed from older days.
That has me in recent years in Rage already so annoyed, the propensity to
Orchestral. Clear the RAGE and BG-bigots are all talented types, but find
I that it was badly overdone lately so. Rage had then at least
begun to outsource the classic, the Lingua Mortis Orchestra to the
to provide actual metal band Rage more space, just to create those metal.
Perhaps BG should yet again reflect on some old, dusty virtues
and even write a thoroughbred metal album again. One knows what to entertain.
One that even after tens of revolutions in the player not wear yet
shows. A shorter, catchier songs and concise Chorusen.
A little back to the roots, so to speak. A-long song beeen album as opulent
Degree or as Epic song you could just maintain. The troops can indeed only
they do not show on the new album just. Since BZU is very of bombast in
Foreground.
Well talk bad, I do not want the album. It is musically and lyrically
really great cinema ascended. Just not just in former BG fashion.
As bombastic Metal Opera Part would of 5 stars from me get 6, but when Metal album
there are more than 2 ... called from just above reasons.
