By the time you hit the bonus track "Mies del Dolor," the only moment of the disc where Blind Guardian lightens up even a little, the band must be exhausted. Everything is over the top to the nth degree every refrain is bolstered with a chorus lifted to the heavens every song is an overwrought epic overture of garish calls to Valhalla every moment is a grandiose concerto. As ambitious as this disc is, however, it is similarly difficult to digest. 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 NIGHT AT THE OPERA had been originally announced for a late Spring 2001 release, but the guys took their time to make sure they got it right. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs. After what seemed like an unbearably long wait to this Blind Guardian fan, I finally have the new album from one of the greatest power metal bands on the earth.
