Well, what can be said about this album? It is truly hard for me to put into words what Transcendence really is. Being released in the same year as some of metals most cherished masterpieces of all time like, for example, Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime or Helloween's Keepr Of The Seven Keys Pt. II, this Crimson Glory gem was really overlooked, despite the high ratings. Read more ›› |

I wonder why isn't this album in the top.200 ,while a lot of album with a 8.7 rating are in that chart. It's not fair at all,this is a Masterpiece,one the most beautiful (If not the best) albums in the History of Metal.

Written by Prometheus on 22.07.2013 at 19:40 I got sad too because of that and i would like to see all my favorite albuns on that top, but honestly...?! ...if you ask me now, i would say that it doesn't count for nothing!!! What really matters, is that you like... Those tops counts for nothing!!! One album that i really like is on the bottom 20 and i don't really care!!!

Written by indexqwest on 21.07.2015 at 18:26 Totally disagree. This is one those few power metal albums you can honestly call impressive.
