Album: Tales From the Twilight World

Old Rating: 5/5

Verdict: My first Blind Guardian album. While Somewhere Far Beyond is currently my favourite, this one gets a big nostalgia bonus. When I got this back in I believe 2007 I can genuinely say I found it to be the most aggressive thing I'd ever heard. I'd already heard thrash at that point of course, but it wasn't holding a candle to this power metal stuff I was finding. This was so fucking hard and fast with it. You can imagine that it came as something of a surprise that most power metal doesn't sound like this...although I can to love 'normal' power metal anyway. Looking back it's most likely because of this album that thrash metal never became a genre I really loved. 

New Rating: No Change.
