Well, after several listenings I realize that this is definetly not their best album. Fly is a magical song and THE song of this record (a great adaptation from the Finding Neverland movie), This will never end and The Edge are great songs, Otherland, Straight..., Another Stranger Me, The New order, Carry the blessed home are good ones, Skalds is avarege (doesn't match their previous ballads). Lionheart and Turn the Page are the worst songs I heard from them, cmon these songs make Tommyknockers a classic BG song.

Good album, still lacks a little bit of the feeling of previous releases: it's not as epic as I would like it to be (epic in the Blind Guardian's way of course).
Anyway is a good album, specially for those who like progressive stuff.
Yes, great album, songs like "This Will Never End" and "Straight Through The Mirror" are the killing tracks. It's a work with many Progressive 'passages'.

The new blind guardian album is brilliant.
My favourite song is turn the page
But imaginations from the other side and nightfall in middle earth
were awesome releases.

I finally got a copy of this! I saw them last year when they toured the U.S. and I really wanted to get the album then but I was hard on cash. I found this album in the used section at the record store! Can you believe it, someone sold this back?! What a shame, atleast its in good hands now.

I was very disappointed with the "new" Blind Guardian song... In my opinion, Nightfall in middle earth is the best album ever created, and I was really looking forward into another epic journey.
Blind Guardian was my favourite band for years, but I have to admit that this is the worst album they have ever made, and by far.
When you look at what they have done in the past, you just can't say this is better, at least for me, it is not at all.

8.1/10, its no Nightfall or Imaginations, but its still Guardian and its still worth listening to. I love Another Stranger Me, Skalds and Otherland. Lionheart isn't bad either.

I really don't get why some people consider it to be just ok or weak or bad... Its a GREAT album, maybe even awesome.

I agree, this was actually the first blind guardian album I ever heard and it motivated me to get all the others! I even have turn the page as my ring tone

Definetly the worst Blind Guardian album imo, but it's still not bad. I'd give it a solid 7 because it's good but it doesn't entertain me like Tales from the Twilight World or Imaginations do.

This album is great. It's not the best of BG but close one. Less complicated than ANATO (witch is my favorite BG Album), it's easier to listen to this one. Still all the songs are very well design and executed.
This Will Never End, Otherland and Turn The Page are my favorites songs.
A solid 9

What's with the tribal drums in ''Fly'', ''Another Stranger Me'' and ''Dead Sound Of Misery''??!! Just exellent, new elements into BG albums.
Best work from Blind Guardian by far

I don't like this album at all. Not enough Power and too much Prog.
Also, production sounds too modern for my tastes.
And Hansi Kursch is barely recognizable at times.
Very boring album. Anyway, I don't really like anything Blind Guardian have done after "Imaginations From The Other Side", so there's no surprise.

Their two worst albums, imo.
NIME is the most overrated PM album in history and ATITM just sucks.

Definitely their worst. Okay, "Skalds and Shadows" is a good song, but that's it - their second worst, "Battalions of Fear" also has a good song, "Majesty".
This album is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING compared to ANATO. Well, unless you're a proghead or something like that. Which I'm not, only an old (ex-)Blind Guardian fan.
"And Then There Was Silence", hello?
no i do not agree with you.

When it comes to BG, I like only their old speed metal albums (from BOF to IFTOS incl). I don't really like anything this band has done since NIME.

I believe the next one will be even worse.
The song "Sacred" is probably the worst BG song I ever heard and I read somewhere that Kursch said this song is representative of how the next album will sound. And it does not bode well at all, from my point of view.

Well, if that is true - then I have to agree.
The Blind Guardian interview I did at Bloodstock this year - Andre said something interesting about the next album, I can't remember what though - but it made me interested in hearing it anyway.

We'll see in due time then. I have no idea when they plan to release the album.
I don't follow BG. I was only talking for talking this morning.
Not bashing the band but saying that I think their best is far behind them and I expect nothing exceptional from this band.
Like so many old PM bands, I think BG are on their decline and could well start to move away from PM, taking a more hard rock-ish or whatever direction.

Meh... A classic representative of today PM. Cheesy and comercial.
Not that I ever like Blind Guardian, or Power Metal at all, but the early stuff was worthy of respect. This? Nope.

Its not their best, but its a good album anyway. More mid-tempo, more progressive comparing to other albums in my opinion. Songs such as "This Will Never End", "Otherland", "Another Stranger Me", "Lionheart" and "the Edge" are definitly the highlights of ATITM. Stay Metal!
