I remember when I first got my hands on this CD - a friend of mine bought it in a used record store together with a couple of other CD's, and I got to borrow it directly because he didn't think it would be any good anyway. Guess if I was surprised - this album remains one of my favourite power metal albums, which might have to do with the extra spice of a surprise though. But there isn't much bad to say about "Return to Heaven Denied".

Best power metal album of the 90's, and one of the best ever.

Oh my God, this is one of the best power metal albums I have heard in my life.

I don't know how they did it, because they don't have done never more one album like this and even like this.

Not sure why I don't appreciate this one more as most power metal fans seems to love it. It's a solid work but it's not great, for me it lacks the experimental and progressive elements from the debut. My favourite songs are New Horizons, Heaven Denied and the last two.

EDIT: Re-evaluation time. Been binging this one for a couple of weeks and I now consider it to be a top power metal album with a solid flow and some excellent highlights.
