I don't believe you Chris, but I'll give this a listen anyway since I too love this kind of power metal, though not as much recently.
Srly, you should try being a little less enthusiastic when writing about the next majestic, epic, symphonic, melodic whatever power metal. In your review you "almost" stated this was the best power metal album ever released and a score of 97 shouldn't be given so easily. Even the new Amon Amarth doesn't deserve such high score and yet it's my album of the year.
I would normally agree, but when an album makes me "vibrate" that much, and for so many months now, I have no other choice

. I don't expect everyone to love it as much as me, but people with similar taste will probably love that album if they like the Spanish vocals. Its one of the best power metal album of this century (FOR ME) so far, so the quote is adequate if you take this into account.
Just my 2 cents
Chris
When this is coming from you then I simply MUST get my hands on this album! After all, "Hellfire Club", "A Flame To The Ground Beneath", "Paradise In Flames" and the Avantasia albums are all in my all-time favourite playlist too! And these are just some of the albums I got a hold of after reading your reviews. Great minds think alike!
