    Rating:
    Blind Guardian's latest and also best album to date. Here you'll find some of the best metal ever made; every riff, every vocal line it's all absolutely masterful, I get astonished every single time I hear it, even though I've heard it like hundreds of times.
    There's many tracks on the album, however only half of them are real songs the rest are either talking or something else (for ex. Hansi singing a couple of lines) that's supposed to help us understand the story (yes it's a concept album), and it works. Although you should have read "The silmarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien to fully get it, since it's based on that book.
