When most people think of Blind █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Guardian, they think layers upon layers of overdubs and █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ multi-tracks of vocals and guitar lines, to the point █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ where some begin to wonder if there is actual meat on █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ the steak under all of the fat. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Hansi's vocal cadences are more rhythmic and bouncy █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ here than on any other Blind Guardian album, perhaps █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ more than any other metal album. I've always sneered at █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ the idea that metal can be "too catchy" but A Night At █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ The Opera is where I begin to see the problem. The █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ vocals, they're just too....gay. That's the only way I █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ can describe it. When the vocal rhythms inspire too █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ much groove or simply don't leave enough empty spaces, █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ you can just feel your inner frog starting to turn gay. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Most masculine minds eschew showtunes and pop music as █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ too feminine because it seems like the kind of crap █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ girls mindlessly sing along without realizing what it █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ is they're doing. Considering heavy metal is supposed █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ to be an eternal stronghold for masculinity (it is █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ music for Hell's Angels to roam the lands and spread █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ chaos to after all), this might be considered █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ sacrilegious. Even contrarian twits who would seek █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ divisive albums like this out to give it positive █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ reviews simply to irk the punters would probably be █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ turned off by what's going on here. The point being, I █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ can understand how this album might have been the straw █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ that broke the camel's back for one Thomas Staunch. I █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ can also see how maybe cursory glances of this album █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ from friends gave me a false impression and led me to █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ keep this band at arm's length. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Adjacent to that is fact that this album just suffers █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ from one too many instrumental tracks (as in tracks on █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ a recording board, not songs on the album). At times █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ it's virtually impossible to tell what the actual riff █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ is of the song. I suppose you could call this the other █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ end of the Nightwish extreme, where instead of one █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ generic rhythm guitar track, there's a cacophony (and █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ not the good kind) of licks taking up space and █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ distracting from each other. It's a shame because Andre █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Olbach is a genius with coming up with unconventional █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ lower three string licks, but they practically cancel █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ each other out here. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Highlights: Precious Jerusalem rips off Roots Bloody █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Roots and rules while doing it. What do I mean by that █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ exactly? Well, just imagine someone was showing Blind █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Guardian the Sepultura AIDS-sandwich-with-mustard of a █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ track in question, and the band thought they could fix █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ it by applying Freddy Mercury's kind of ghey instead of █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Robb Flynn's type of ghey. Hell if RBR sounded like █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ this in 96, Sepultura would managed to have some damn █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ dignity from going from thrash to tribal power metal. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ The Soulforged is a decent Hole In The Sky meets Roll █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Over Lay Down type of swing that will have you belting █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ it's majestic chorus. And Then There Was Silence is the █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ band's longest and most ambitious track, sweeping █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ through several different movements and then fading █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ out. The "na-na-na" piece would exploited and broken █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ down for a brilliant live singalong (see Live Beyond █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ The Spheres), and serves as a fitting climax to the █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ number as well as the album. The song would prove to be █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ a hidden live gem for this and other reasons. But when █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ you would compare it to future epics such as Grand █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Parade and Wheel of Time, it comes up short. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Battlefield is also on here, which somehow became Blind █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Guardian's most popular song, at least according to █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ internet searches. It does have a great chorus, but █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ that's like saying a Black Sabbath song has a great █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ riff. It's also one of the songs that suffers from many █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ of this album's trappings. █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ A Night At The Opera is solid, but it is NOT the first █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ album from them I would purchase. Matter of fact, I █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ would save it as one of the very last Blind Guardian █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ albums to pick up. I mean if this was some theater █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ major's gateway album to the land of Judas Priest, Iron █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ Maiden and Motorhead, I can think of much worse █░▓▒ ░ * * ░ ▒▓░█ introductions to metal. █░▓▒ ░ * ▒░░ ▓█▓ ▓█▓ ░░▒ ▒░░▒ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ▒░░▒ ▒░▒ # # ▒░▒ ▒░ ▒ ▒ ░▒ e░██ ██ ██ ██░e ▒░░▒e▒▒▒ ╔═════════════════════╗ ▒▒▒e▒░░▒ #░░ ▒ ║ Greetings To: ║ ▒ ░░# ▓ i░ ╚═════════════════════╝ ░i ▓ █▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█ █ █░ All great CrEwS who believes and fight for a clean ░█ █ ░▓ █ ░ Scene free of P2P.
