The perfect culmenation of their early and later sounds....still, plenty aggressive, but with better melodies than earlier releases....it is divine. Every release after is too soft, imo.

While listening to the title track recently I suddenly noticed/realized it's about The Dark Tower...

I like the production on "Follow the Blind", maybe I find it better than the production on "Imaginations from the other Side". But yeah, this is pretty well produced/executed.
The title track is godlike
Also props to "Journey through the Dark", such riffing.

Some great songs on this one! German speed/power metal as the Branch Davidians intended it themselves.
this is not speed, real speed was 1tha nd second album only, rest is pure PM, even epic touch not as some cheasy Freedom call

Sweet Moses, this is a good album - should not have waited so long to look into BG.

This, IFTOS and ANATO are the 3 contenders - NIME cannot get close. Time what is time is a blistering opener, the bard's song is great for a band anthem, and the title track is extraordinary

The bagpipe interlude in "Somewhere Far Beyond" may be one of their best music moments ever

Over the course of many years, I have come to the firm conclusion that this is BG's best album by far. I think Nightfall and Imaginations have thier moments, but overall, both those albums are quite overrated and the songwriting on both of them is rather mediocre. BG and Iced Earth are the only power metal bands I like and this album still gets the occasional listen from me. Listening to it again as I type this and yep, it's still pretty good and very good when it comes to the acoustic moments.

I am not nor have I ever been a musician or a member of a one-man band, especially a band that has a name that starts with "D".

An impressively consistent release. For me, there are no standout songs as all are fantastic.

Actually quite late that I discover your comment on this masterpiece.
But, man, you nailed it to the point with these words.
