It's 1991. You have just turned 19 and, having worked your ass off for three consecutive summers to raise money for your dream trip, you are finally on a plane flying over Asia. You have your Discman (portable CD player in the old days) with you and have packed a few of your favourite metal CDs. You love Crimson Glory's first two records and have just bought Strange And Beautiful at a store in the airport on its release day. Another hour remains before landing, so with plenty of excitement you put the cd in, but just before you hit play...

Not metal, no musical connection to the previous two albums, but what a masterpiece!

I really can't make up my mind about this album. Some songs sound like a modernized Led Zeppelin meets Queen and Queensryche (which is great imo) and some sound like they were written by a bad high school G'N'R cover band.

Not bad but doesn't have the mood as the first 2. More hard rock oriented rather than prog / power.

Accurate title on the record, it's actually both Strange and Beautiful. It's a sprawling record with many different elements and styles and it's both a treat but also at times a turn off, which is a pleasant contrast. It's not somekind of artistic masterpiece but it's a cool idea and it works most of the time.
