After a couple of surprising moves - signing to label Nuclear Blast and quasi-unexplained firing of long time drummer Thomen Stauch - Blind Guardian is back with a new album entitled 'A Twist In The Myth'. Despite claims that this is a totally different direction for the band, the overall impression is very close to their previous opus, 'A Night At The Opera'. It is however more progressive and even a little more easy of access at times. The band also developped a brought up-to-date sound , which is obvious on songs like 'The Edge', 'Otherland' and 'Fly'.

Apparently I gave this one a 10 rating years ago. Can't see any reason to change that, lovely album.

I don't see why this should be rated lower than "At The Edge Of Time". I think I even prefer this one. 6.5.

I turned down this album for so many years... I'm relistening the whole BG discography and must admit, is way better than I remember.

Awful production, and some uninspired moments here and there, but a very respectable effort nonetheless...

My first Blind Guardian album and still my favorite. Don't know why it's rated so low.

Compared to everything else on the site, yes. It just feels low to me, since I love the record so much. I couldn't put it any lower than a 9.
