Huhu, another Rhapsody... but I like the line-up of this one.
Somehow I hope this is successful enough so that Lione focusses on it and quit Angra (it never felt like Angra since he joined, he fits Rhapsody best).

Great track reminds me of Prophet Of The Last Eclipse, but those lyrics? They're terrible. "To evolve as the perfect triangle" almost as bad as "I am the table"
The lyrics are great, as good as the ones in the Prometheus song, they might not be very well written, but their meaning is amazing

Bo Burnham's "New Math" is a far superior song.

I'm going to say what nobody else is brave enough to say: RoF's earliest albums were unoriginal and generic power metal.
Now this... this song is great. Keeps the catchy, power metal formula, but adds some new elements. I'm very happy with it. Way better than anything that "Luca Turilli's Rhapsody" ever offered.

This is pretty cool, and I'll definitely buy the album, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed that Conti (or whatever his name is) won't be singing on the 'Prometheus' follow-up. Damn I love that album. I do have to admit that the name of the band is getting a bit complicated...

I would buy this album. And t-shirt. And Flag. And patch.

The song's pretty good, actually! Kinda like the old Turilli solo stuff, but a bit more restrained and with Fabio.
Still, I would have preffered dragons and knights and magic swords

Do you mean Staropoli RoF? From the original Rhapsody, all albums are good, not perfect, but pretty good. Everything that Turilli has done is pretty good too. Then what Staropoli does is meh. Dark Wings sucked in all aspects, Into The Legend was decent with some good moments and The Eight Mountain is meh with lots of recycled stuff from previous albums.

Now all the songs about pixies and goblins make sense compared to this. All the talk of squares, triangles and circles, I thought it was about designing the new PS5 gamepad.
All the dragon and stuff talk made sense too, it was just all metaphorical/allegorical/symbolic, now he is being more direct with his themes but he is basically talking about the same stuff that he always did, which is basically the evolution of human consciousness in current times. I had a kinda of Eureka! moment when i finally discovered what Rhapsody/Turilli lyrics were really about, specially on the Emerald Sword and Dark Secret sagas, it is really cool

Nope, I am referring to albums such as Legendary Tales and Dawn of Victory. They were good albums, but are terribly overrated, as earlier albums by popular metal bands typically are. Blasphemy, I know...

I agree on Legendary Tales being overrated - it's typical power metal of the times, just a tad more sympho than usual. Dawn of Victory? Not so much, and while it has great moments, I don't think it's as good as Symphony... before or Power... after.

I always felt like The Frozen Tears of Angels was their masterpiece. It had by far the best production quality, and had the perfect combination of symphonic, power, and theatrical elements. Even things like the utilization of choirs and softer songs seemed perfectly balanced.

While I still prefer Symphony I and Power..., I agree, Frozen Tears is definitely a masterpiece - and an underrated one, that's for sure

Symphony I is definitely my favorite older album of theirs. Power got me at first, but hasn't aged well for me - I think something about the tuning of the guitars on that album really throws me off.
