Blind Guardian report: New album loving rules. Even the previously unimpressive track Secrets of the American Gods has somehow sprung to life for me when brought to conjunction with the rest of the album. I am so loving happy.

This Malist track got recommended to me and it's got some furious riffs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iX04lvKf20 Russian, but I can't see anything indicating they're sus.

There's a couple decent tracks on the new Megadeth, but a lot of it just blends together. Ironically, Dave did his best vocal work on the 2 covers. Police Truck (owns) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsmOahXIjhs This Planet's On Fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq7zDHnEbPE

Nordick posted:This is exactly how it was for me too. I found it enjoyable enough enough while it was playing and it indisputably sounded like Blind Guardian, but it just left no trace of its passing, had absolutely no hooks. The way I've described it is "a homogenated Blind Guardian slurry". I really liked Beyond the Red Mirror, to me it was their best effort yet at blending the band/songwriting with the live orchestra (in fact 2 orchestras and 3 separate choirs on the album, because why not). There were some great songs, some not so great, and there's definitely a samey feeling to their general riff-writing style nowadays but it's still enjoyable. The mix was a real letdown, although by the time the album came out they had already done 3 albums with Charlie Bauerfeind's muddy production so it wasn't like it was a surprise. It also gave us Doom which was a nice relic from the Nightfall in Middle-Earth days that was never released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HuTSybzgE4 Looking forward to listening to the new album.

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a single Blind Guardian song, it just never seemed like my kind of thing. Now that I see you guys rave about them this much I feel like I need to see what I’m missing. What’s the best, most Blind Guardianly Blind Guardian album of all time?

Imaginations from the Other Side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn7syqDiLXI That plus Tales from the Twilight World, Somewhere Far Beyond and Nightfall in Middle-Earth are their best albums.

As someone who would easily rank power metal near the bottom of all metal genres, Blind Guardian still kick massive rear end.

Somewhere Far Beyond for their more speed metal-y sound, Nightfall in Middle Earth for the epic symphonic Tolkien metal.

Imaginations through the looking glass live dvd. Enormous crowd that knows every song and every lyric, band at top shape. If that won't sell blind guardian to you nothing will.

Or even just listening to Live or Tokyo Tales. One of the few bands who are even better live, which is crazy considering how great they are recorded. I got to see them right after they released Beyond the Red Mirror and it was a religious experience

Which BG album has the strongest melody/hooks? Generally when I Iisten to clean vocals I want bands with a good handle on those things.
|
# ? Sep 4, 2022 01:57 |

Big, hooky choruses have kind of always been their thing, even on their older stuff. Nightfall in Middle Earth is probably the overall catchiest for my money though.

I've been listening to Blind Guardian since the mid/late 90s, and Nightfall in Middle Earth still makes me want to howl along to those loving choruses. Imaginations and that other older material is brilliant too, but Nightfall is basically all time top 10 metal albums material.

The new album is solid and I'm back to listening to Somewhere through Nightfall as one long super album over and over. And ya their live albums are insane, Live 2003 is probably the best live album I've ever heard

Yeah, power metal is mostly not my cup of tea but I do like some of it and Nightfall in Middle Earth is probably my #1 favourite. Cheesy spoken interludes and all.

If you don't really like power metal and especially euro stuff, I think the first 2 BG albums are the best. Those two are way closer to traditional heavy metal than their later stuff.

Vargatron posted:EXCALIBUUUUUURRRRRRR I was on a Baltic cruise once for some student thing, and while drunkenly wandering around the ship I came across a few dudes singing this, so I just darted up to them to sing the chorus with them. It was fun and one of them shared a few swigs of his liquor with me. That is my #1 Grave Digger story. szary posted:this is the euro power metal thread now Ok but can we do the good euro power instead of this sparkly garbage (I admit I still listen to some of the sparkly garbage, just not Sonata Fartica) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GyDOAw3gmY (A song so good it's both a Gamma Ray and Iron Savior song)
