Night at the Opera album Product Description

Night at the Opera album by Blind Guardian was released Mar 19, 2002 on the Century Media (USA) label. Contains an untitled hidden track following " And Then There Was Silence." Probably the most adventurous disc of Blind Guardian's career (and that's saying something with this troupe), A Night at the Opera lives up to its name by channeling Queen's most symphonic arias through a dynamic prog metal background that makes Fate's Warning's most complex licks seem positively pedestrian in comparison with a glorious production that allows every nuance to literally explode from the loudspeakers.

A truely remarkable album...
The men from Germany have done it again... recreated a lord of the rings themed music.... this album is world class and i have a lot of respect for this band because of it.... two of the best songs i have ever heard on this album are "soulforged" and "under the ice"..... keep up the good work Blind Guardian and keep supporting melodic rock...

Awesome Stuff
This one took me a couple of listenings to fully appreciate it. So it's not as easy to listen to as it could have been. But it's intricate nature is part of it's appeal. Still, on the first listening it was fun and furious metal to the core. Terrific performances, creativity, and excellent song writing make this a worthwhile purchase.

Their best...
For some reason everyone seems to be pretty critical of Blind Guardian's latest release, but I have to say that this one is easily their best. It is layers and layers and layers of music, unlike anything previously recorded. It's one of those few, well done, melodic heavy medal albums, they pulled out all the stops. I'm surprised that some even question the guitar ability, because I have never heard a lead guitar sound like that before. There's no accounting for taste but if you miss this one, your opinion doesn't count. -O

Great album
This album is way more artistic than BG's previous ones, a definite plus. I think almost all the songs are excellent. My only let down was the 14min song. I thought a song of that maginitude should be utterly astounding, but it wasn't. Not a bad song, mind you, but not as good as the other songs on the album. Still, this is a very good power metal buy.
