Hansi once said in early album days they did not listen what sound engineer told them, band wanted to party,d rink beer and play games. I always have told Blind Guardian should re record (whit original line up) first 2 albums, well even first 5 would be ok. Here we have, another band has done in, and this is winner of my best album of the year ... I doubt someone will beat this , old BG is one my fav band.
