| Totally agree with your review (= |
|
|
|
| Looks like a nice album, Im gonna check it out |
|
|
|
| For me this album is a step down compared to The Fall Of An Empire...at least for the first listening |

A few people whom I usually trust their opinion as metal critics told me it's the best Fairyland album to date. Even a guy who didn't like Fairyland's albums until now says he enjoys this one.
By the way, Philippe Giordana is a very nice guy, intelligent and down to earth. I don't listen to Fairyland because it's not my cuo of tea but I have lots of respect for the man. An artist who takes the time to talk with people on forums in a normal and friendly tone, as if he was simply an 'unknown' poster like any other, earns my respect. |

'Solid' is definitely what I think about this album. I think the shorter length of this album works in its favour.
Although Osyrhia will always be the one to beat

Why you all over power threads about this music you don't like or listen to, recalling hearsay from your friends?
Just seems a bit redundant when you're commenting reviews that are written by people who like or even will listen to the album, regardless if you are stalking the musicians or not  |

First ,you need to know that, while I'm not a PM fan anymore, I've been one for a long time years ago. I know the scene much more than many PM fans new to the genre.
Second, it just happens that I had not much to comment on these days.
Third, I might not like PM nowadays but it's not as if my posts were only bashing after bashing. I often talk more about infos (line-up details and things like that) than personal opinions.
On this thread, I only wished to give a little 'thumb up' to Phil, because he's really a nice guy.
And on the Thy Majestie thread, it was only curiosity, nothing more.
And on the Rhapsody thread, I talked about the band's situation and all, because I'm familiar with it. I was one of the main members of Rhapsody's forum until a few months ago, with over 3700 posts.
If it bothers you, sorry, but it's not my problem. |

Yeah you aren't bashing which is definitely a good thing. Unlike the 'doom crew' that stalks for an easy Strato or Sonata thread. I was just curious more or less..
You get a lot of MS'ers who will stick to 'their' genre.. i listen to at least something from most genres so you will find me around too  |

I think you understand me better now and see why I post on PM threads. Mostly, I check them to keep my knowledge updated as much as I can. I was afraid you found me obnoxious.
As for 'sticking to their genre', I might comment on BM, PM, DM, Prog and Thrash because I like/liked all these genres, listen or listened to them in the past, and know about all of them (at different degrees).
You will never see me post on Doom Metal threads because my knowledge on it is extremely poor. I never had the slightest trace of interest in Doom, for a few very specific reasons.
And you will never see me post again on threads about anything we can call 'modern metal'. I gave my opinion on these genres a while ago and it has been a foolish mistake on my part. It would have been better for me to shut up and I apologized for my lack of judgement. |

Getting back to this album - I think it's great. The production is much better than previous albums.
Nice review! |
|
|

Alright, after second listening i still think Fall Of An Empire is better (and Of Wars In Osyrhia maybe too), but anyway this is wonderful album as well...shortly - Fairyland maybe even cannot do bad  |

| I'm still looking forward to listen to this album and this review just increased my interest. A nice read and judging by the words a score of 7-8. |

|
| This album is fucking great. 8.8 for me. |
|
|
|
| I'm not normally a fan of this type of power metal, but this album is really entertaining and features some excellent musicianship. |
|
|
|
| Yeah, who's that guy BMR Monkey who rated the album 1? Come on, that's disgusting, and impairing the band's overall ratings and classement on the 2009 top 20! |
|
|
|
| Across the Endless Sea part II is a truly epic song you just can't stop queuing over and over again... |
|
|
|
| "Assault on the Shore" and "Score to a New Beginning" are perhaps two of the greatest songs I've ever heard. |
|
|
|
| Yeah, especialy the part between 06:40 and 07:10 in "Score to a New Beginning" is great music experience...but i like the "End Credits" as well, it is so gentle and nice |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This is a very epic album! |
|
|
|
| Tjeck it out folks!!! This album is mindblowing from the beginning to the end! A masterpiece, a concept album I think. If you a are fan of Rhapsody and/or Blind Guardian this will crush your balls! |
|
|
|
| Well it didnt "crashed my balls" at all, but it is solid album indeed |
|
|
|
| I know, I heard many power metal albums, like this...but...Fairyland are for me big surprise.... This album is for me album of the year 2009 - melodic, energic, good voice, so...it´s not boring... So... |
|
|
|
Good review, a very solid album indeed.  |
|
|
|
| Assault On The Shore has the most epic chorus ever |
|
|
|
| So, is this another cheesy band or something worth getting stoked for? As my brother and sister listen to mostly trad metals, I have more and more trouble finding modern but appropriate music for them |

Yes, this album is most definitely worth getting stoked for It's truly "symphonic" power metal in its highest form. Let me know what you think! |
