Blind Guardian: Tales from the Twilight World



Some will point to this album as being the first Blind Guardian in which the band would polish their sound and establish their foothold in the metal community. The band continues to grow in terms of song writing and quality of sound, but never abandons the magic they started with. The music itself is still, one-part speed metal, one part European power. The guitars churn out classic riff after riff and brilliant solos, while the drums continue to assault your eardrums. Hansi vocals have grown with each release and with "Tales From the Twilight World" we hear a lot more of his operatic potential. His highs are a great as ever and his lows still carry the aggressiveness he delivered on the previous albums. This album is a no brainier for fans of power and thrash fans alike.

Highlights: "Lord of the Rings", "Lost in the Twilight Hall", "Tommyknockers"

Rating: 4
