Hmm...Its tough to elaborate exactly how I feel about this album! 
As a whole, its not as great as most of their other albums, but I think there's enough good songs on it to make it a worthy addition to Blind Guardian's catalogue. The album starts strongly, with an immense opening track, and the following two are great as well. I feel the quality of the album dips sharply at the halfway point, with most of the songs from that point onwards being pretty forgettable. Although 'Skalds And Shadows' does a valiant rescue attempt! 
In it's best moments, ''A Twist In The Myth'' can easily hold it's own with Blind Guardian's best works, but those moments are not frequent enough for this album to be called any more than just 'good'. And in that respect, it is definitely a weak effort overall by BG's normally very high standards.

Yep, I think it says a lot about the quality of Blind Guardian's material, that an album rated 8 is classed as their weakest. hehe

Ive loved this album since i first heard it and am glad they make their records sound different every time.
It's definitely too soft at times but still a really fun listen!

My far, the band's worst album so far.
I also think it's the worst BG album by far. I find everything bad on it. Boring songs. Awful production making it sound like a prog album more than a PM one. Hansi is barely recognizable at times, etc etc etc
This album just plain sucks.

Agree on "worst album". Most songs sounds like copying older riffs and there are no standout tracks. Still, it gets a 8 because it's still awesome. BG quality.

I have found this album boring as hell, poor songs, nothing stands out, the more I listen to this, the more I dislike it, simply average Blind Guardian songs, but not as the good average BG songs, just as the average bad ones. Dunno, I simply don't enjoy this album, it is plain as fuck...

I don't know, but I loved this album since I listened with attention. Truly the production is not the best so far, and sometimes Hansi's voice sounds so fake, but I like the abundant melody in every song (best examples Turn The Page and Straight Through The Mirror) and also I found very great guitar solos (the rock'n'rollish one in The Edge is very great, and the Otherland's one is AMAZING!, just as the son itself )

I actually really like this album, the first song I ever heard from the band was Fly, and it convinced me to go out and really get into Blind Guardian's catalogue. Sure ATITM is not my favorite album by the band, and they have already worked on far more spectacular albums in the past, as well as At the Edge of Time four years after this album, but i still feel this is a worthy addition to Blind Guardian's impressive discography!

I just really got more out of this one. I thought the production was far better and the songs had more creativity per minute, shall we say.

Can some one explain why this album is regarded as their worst?
I started listening to Blind Guardian with their newest album, so I am going backwards. I see little difference between this and the new one, and that got much better reviews.
When I compare this to Opera, this seems to have much better song structure, you can hear everything and hear the song itself. Opera seemed far too over produced, drowning out the songs. Hearing it live made the songs more defined though.
I've ordered Imaginations, lets see how that goes.

Because people think simple structured (albeit super over-produced) and catchy = bad
