Are you willing to leave behind your former self in the quest to reach the uncharted lands of human consciousness? Edenbridge's latest, Solitaire, invites us to dive headstrong into our own emotional whirlwind, to unearth higher levels of beauty by conquering our own minds, in order to attain a more dynamic and confident self. And with melodies this addictive and lyrics this inspiring, the often elusive and unseen path to personal empowerment seems more like an illustrious, well-lit highway.

This is what symphonic metal is all about! Inspiring lyrics and guitar solos that lead you down the road to personal empowerment and self-discovery, and vocals that are polished, refined, and beautiful. Sometimes, reaching for the sky can mean actually grabbing hold of it.

I think this is a great album from Edenbridge, it's much better than MyEarthDream. I can't even say there is a weak song, except for the intro and outro which are boring (as always for any album.

I love the solo in The Brothers Diamir! It's one of the best i've ever heard.

Songs 2 , 9 , 10 , 11 and 12 are excellent. All Others are a bit of a disapointment and besides that a bit commercial. Even though i gave a 8 for those 5 songs.

Somewhat boring, but still better than 90% of what's on the radio. Vocals are excellent...

Compared to what they are capable of (Shine), this is boring stuff. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody, not even the biggest fans of symphometal.
