There's few metal styles I've been so fanatical about and then become disillusioned with as fast as I have with power metal. I went crazy over the European branch of the genre, and for a whole summer through to winter listened to practially nothing else. As much as I still love many bands I think it's not evolved as much as it could have since Helloween's classic pair of Keeper albums, and I'd say it's more or less run out of steam for me. The American variant I'm still exploring, but it's a nice change listening to bands such as Manilla Road and Helstar.

I hear what you're saying....it's a genre I love, but there are many, many 'B' grade power metal bands/albums, and very few 'A' level ones. I get so disappointed when I find something new, look at all the 5-star reviews, listen to the 30 sec clips, order the album, then when I finally purchase it and listen to it.....big 'Meh'.
